In the Food & Beverage industry, as we move into a future where self-service kiosks are the primary method of interaction between restaurant and customer, the need for the best software is obviously critical. As such, there are a variety of ways that the correct software can help improve the guest experience. On this Food & Beverage Podcast, MarketScale chats with Juan Perez, CEO of Allied Decisions USA, and together they examine the future of self-service kiosks in the grocery store and beyond.

According to Perez, a key consideration in the self-service kiosk is the choice of software, since the self-order technology is quickly spreading and will soon be a primary form of communication at fast casual restaurants. The decision about software is a highly strategic one. Applied Decision USA has choices that Juan describes as Best in Class, that focus on 7 differentials that create the best possible options with optimal functionality and accessibility for each establishment’s target customers.

As thought leaders in this space for over 20 years now, Perez argues that they are in a great position to have a strong impact on the current trends and future innovations. New requirements and regulations are constantly coming into play. They are also in a great spot to understand what restaurants truly want to put in front of their customers and help those make those decisions. The right software will display products and options well and interact easily and within compliance and regulatory guidelines.

Food factories' hiring problem has shifted from line workers to engineers

Food factories' hiring problem has shifted from line workers to engineers

Food industry leaders say the bigger hiring concern is now technical talent, not just line workers. Demand for engineers, technicians and data specialists is outpacing supply, and manufacturers compete with aerospace and automotive for scarce technical talent. With more than a third of workers aged 50 or older, many manufacturers are developing talent internally.

  • 01Technical roles now rank above general labour for the first time in Canadian food sector hiring needs, according to Food Processing Skills Canada's latest study.
  • 02Maintenance technicians and engineers compete across industries; aerospace and automotive can often pay higher salaries for the same skillsets, leaving food plants at a disadvantage.
  • 03More than a third of food sector workers are 50 or older, creating succession risk as retirement takes decades of technical and manufacturing expertise out of operations.

Animal feed protein ingredients projected to reach $17.8 billion by 2032

Animal feed is the fastest-growing use for protein ingredients, forecast to grow 7.5% a year to $17.8 billion by 2032. IndexBox reports that commercial feed still depends mainly on plant-derived ingredients such as soybean meal, canola meal and pulses. Soy anchors both feed and food protein, so food demand matters to feed buyers.

  • 01Research and Markets forecasts animal feed as the fastest-growing customer for protein ingredients through 2032, at 7.5% a year against 6.3% for the market overall.
