Modern Restaurant Management (MRM) magazine asked restaurant industry experts for their views on what trends and challenges owners and operators can expect to see in 2025.
Steady Online Ordering Brings Food Waste, Donations to the Forefront of Priorities
Ordering food online increases restaurant sales, but it also can potentially increase wasted food if proactive measures aren’t taken - for both the business and consumers at home. When consumers order more food online, it’s clearly good for business - but it can also make it harder for businesses to manage inventory. At the same time, it can result in consumers creating more waste if they order more than they can eat. In 2025, restaurants need to have a plan in place that ensures they are effectively managing inventory and redirecting unused, still edible food to donations.

Chefs predict top kitchen trends for 2025
Top chefs and restaurateurs from across the UK share some of the trends they predict will be on the menu for 2025…
Chef Avinash Shashidhara of Pahli Hill Indian restaurant in London:
“I think the classical French cooking in restaurants is going to make a comeback; it has already started this year with restaurants like Bouchon Racine and Josephine Bouchon. Cheaper trendy restaurants with South and Central American concepts may become popular as well.”
Sam Harrison, owner of Sam’s/Genuine Restaurants Ltd:
“I think in 2025 perceived value for money will be very important to guests. I think everyone is feeling the economic pinch in some way. Guests will still want to go out, but will look more for good value. I hope that this might play into the hands of independent and local restaurants.
