the magazine

The number of UK coffee and sandwich shops has doubled since 2005, making it the fastest growing sector of the hospitality industry. Time pressures are growing on the UK workforce in these difficult economic times, so we can expect to see the ‘grab and go’ market continue to expand. This ‘quick and casual’ concept is not limited to high streets and areas of high density office space; multiple retailers are also tapping in – now almost every supermarket has its own café or sandwich shop – and even hotel groups are opening outlets in their reception areas (Costa in Hiltons, for instance).

And contract caterers are also changing their retail concepts to compete with this high street phenomenon. All the major contractors have ‘grab and go’ concepts they are pushing heavily into their B&I sites, particularly where there is a high percentage of ‘white collar’ workers.

Lunch Business magazine delivers editorial coverage focusing on the needs and interests of operators in the food to go market. It comprises a winning mix of news, expert articles and product news, reflecting a sector that is bright, youthful and innovative.
