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.

Two of six shortlisted Slovenian private-label food makers changed owners in 2026

Two of six shortlisted Slovenian private-label food makers changed owners in 2026

A buyer guide shortlists six Slovenian private-label food makers, from Incom Leone ice cream to plant-based specialist Organa, without claiming they control the country's output. In 2026 AGRANA bought Fruit Emba and Atlantic Grupa bought Osem, so supplier files need updating.

  • 01AGRANA completed its Fruit Emba deal on April 23, 2026 and Atlantic Grupa completed its Osem deal on August 31, 2026, so supplier records for those two plants may need new ownership details.
  • 02Register income figures for these firms are company-wide. Incom's €189.49m includes its own Leone brand, so it says nothing about how much private-label capacity is actually free.

GLP-1 shoppers push frozen meal tray choices to the start of development

GLP-1 shoppers push frozen meal tray choices to the start of development

GLP-1 users want smaller, protein-dense frozen meals, and that demand is pushing frozen processors and tray suppliers to make packaging decisions earlier. The tray is becoming part of the recipe. Speed to market increasingly depends on whether a tray runs on existing sealing lines and holds up from freezer to microwave.

  • 01In a portion-controlled frozen entrée, tray choice belongs in the same development meeting as the recipe, because a tray that needs retooling or warps on reheat delays the SKU.

Rice startup NIVERA says its edible coating nearly triples produce shelf life

Rice startup NIVERA says its edible coating nearly triples produce shelf life

NIVERA, a startup that grew out of doctoral research at Rice University, has developed a thin, edible coating that nearly triples produce shelf life in its own testing. It is starting with avocados and berries. Daniel Preston's mechanical engineering lab at Rice contributed expertise in spray-coating applications and in translating laboratory discoveries into practical technologies.

  • 01NIVERA's edible coating nearly tripled shelf life for certain fruits and vegetables in the company's own testing, and avocados and berries are first in line.
  • 02Earlier Rice research produced an egg-based coating that doubled the shelf life of avocados and bananas. NIVERA, a startup built on Rice doctoral work, says its coating of proteins and fibers can nearly triple the shelf life of certain produce, based on the company's own testing.
  • 03The useful question for a shipper or retailer is how many extra days the coating adds under that buyer’s own temperatures, packaging and transit times, because Rice News did not describe the startup test conditions.
