Restaurant Trends 2023
As we move into 2023, the restaurant industry is expected to continue to evolve and adapt to the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are a few trends that are likely to shape the industry in the coming year:
Hospitality Trends 2023
- Increased focus on delivery and takeout: With many people still hesitant to dine out in person, restaurants will continue to place a greater emphasis on delivery and takeout options. This will likely include a greater use of third-party delivery platforms, as well as the development of in-house delivery and takeout systems.
- Emphasis on outdoor dining: As the weather warms up, many restaurants will be looking to expand their outdoor dining options to accommodate customers who are more comfortable dining outside. This could include the use of tents, heaters, and other outdoor amenities to create a more comfortable dining experience.
- Growth of virtual restaurants: With more people ordering food online, virtual restaurants are expected to become more popular in 2023. These are restaurants that only exist online and operate out of shared kitchens.
- Increased use of technology: Many restaurants will look to incorporate more technology into their operations to improve efficiency and customer experience. This could include the use of mobile ordering, digital menu boards, and contactless payment options.
- More creative menu options: With more people staying at home and cooking for themselves, many restaurants will be looking to offer more unique and creative menu options to entice customers to dine out. This could include a greater focus on global cuisines and more use of locally-sourced ingredients.
- Health and Wellness: With more people becoming health-conscious, there will be an increased demand for healthy and organic food options. Restaurants will need to cater to this trend by offering more vegan, gluten-free, and low-calorie options on the menu.
Overall, the restaurant industry will continue to face challenges in 2023, but it is also expected to adapt and evolve in response to these challenges. With a focus on delivery, outdoor dining, virtual restaurants, technology, and creative menu options, restaurants will be well-positioned to meet the changing needs and preferences of their customers.

Emily Ellyn interview: My experience interviewing the celebrity chef
“Reinvent the menu experience“
Duration: 5 minutes
Last month, I had the pleasure of conducting an interview with celebrity chef Emily Ellyn. Emily offered some interesting insights into her love for food growing up, her career, life in the hospitality industry post-covid, the future of QR code menus and tips for inspired chefs.
Having spoken to Emily prior to the interview, I already knew how much of a character she is and how entertaining she would be. Emily is also very experienced in her field of work and has so much wisdom to share with the world.
That being the case, I conducted my research and prepared my questions in a way to fully uncover these marvelous traits of hers.
The result was, predictably, amazing. I felt so entertained and fully engaged throughout the interview and was left captivated and enthralled at the same time due to her infectious personality and humour, as well as her expert knowledge.
Today, I would like to share my experience of interviewing Emily Ellyn and provide some details about Emily and what she does.
Does this sound of interest to you? If so, then feel free to read on.
Who is Emily Ellyn?
Emily is an American celebrity chef based in Orlando, Florida. She is a chef educator and recipe developer who has previously won competitions such as Cup Cake Warrior and Cutthroat Kitchen. Emily has also featured on the Food Network and HGTV on US television and runs her own website. She posts articles, video tutorials and recipes to help her followers learn and improve their culinary skills.
Boasting nearly 12,000 Instagram followers, Emily aids so many aspiring chefs and shares her recipes with keen cooks all over the world. Emily loves to add a fun twist to her recipes and make them original, a feature that has proven to be very popular amongst her followers.
However, there is so much more to Emily than meets the eye. As a result, I prepared my questions for Emily in such a way as to dig a little deeper and uncover some expert opinions and insightful stories about Emily.

My experience interviewing Emily Ellyn
Within seconds, it became apparent Emily is an energetic, unique character. Bursting with personality and a distinct, 1950s dress sense, I knew this would be a fun and enjoyable interview.
Not only was Emily entertaining and a joy to interview, but she was also incredibly insightful. Throughout the interview, Emily and I discussed topics such as:
Emily’s love for food growing up
Her career
Future plans
Social media’s role in the hospitality industry
Tips for aspiring chefs
Future of US hospitality
Technology in the hospitality industry
Future of QR code menus
Listening to Emily’s story was truly fascinating. For anyone looking to achieve great things in not just the hospitality industry, but in all aspects of life, it is key to understand how others before us achieved the goals we have set for ourselves and to learn from their experiences.
I was enthralled by Emily’s early culinary memories. It was particularly interesting to hear about how she developed from a little girl with an interest in cooking to the successful chef she is today. Most people, including myself, perform better when they have motivation and an end goal set for themselves. Listening to Emily will definitely leave you inspired and ready to do just that.
Perhaps most fascinating of all though, were the insights into the industry Emily provided from an expert’s point of view. She and I discussed a number of topics, ranging from technology in the hospitality industry to advice for aspiring chefs.
Emily offered alternative insights into a variety of topics that perhaps the majority, including myself, had not previously considered. Emily consistently viewed topics from different angles. This us all the chance to interpret certain subjects in a completely different way and learn something new.
Where can I find the interview?
Emily is a very glass half-full kind of person. This absolutely shone through in the interview, making it a fun and enjoyable experience for me and hopefully you, too.

We hope you enjoy the interview and feel free to share your thoughts with us on our social media pages.

Restaurant staff set to keep all their tips
Hospitality staff set to keep all their tips under rule change
Restaurant, café and pub bosses are set to be banned from keeping tips left for staff by customers in Britain.
Hospitality staff to keep tips in UK
The government plans to make it illegal for hospitality firms to withhold tips from workers, who often rely on them to top up their income.
Labour Markets Minister Paul Scully said the plans would “ensure tips will go to those who worked for it”.
If an employer breaks the new rules they can be taken to an employment tribunal.
In that instance, bosses may be forced to compensate workers or face fines.
In a statement, the Department for Business said that the new legislation would help about two million people working in the hospitality industry because of abuses.
It is expected to come into force within the next year.
But it comes some time after the practice was reported to have taken place at High Street chains such as Pizza Express, Cote Brasserie and Bill’s.
In 2015, the restaurants were accused of keeping tips or charging 10% “administrative costs” on processing the service charge payments if they were made by debit or credit card.

Hospitality staffing crisis post covid
Brexit and Covid have exacerbated a problem that has been building for years. But some restaurants are trying to attract and keep staff by changing the culture of the industry
When Danny first entered professional kitchens he did so as a star-struck fanboy. He had devoured Marco Pierre White’s White Heat (“such a romantic book”) and Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential.
“I really bought into the glory of it. There’s a Bourdain line about the poetry of the way chefs moved at the grill. He was addicted to that. I loved it as well. I adored the cut and thrust of the kitchen. All I wanted was to be a really good jobbing chef.”
