F&B Landscape Changes: from Hayk Sarkissian and Alma Donohoe

The F&B industry is evolving rapidly, shaped by shifting consumer preferences, technological advancements, and economic realities. At Revery, we focus on identifying and capitalizing on key trends that define the future of food and beverages. One of the most significant shifts is the growing demand for “Better for You” products—health-conscious consumers are actively seeking meals that are both nutritious and indulgent. This demand aligns with the broader movement toward functional foods and clean-label ingredients.

At the same time, the fundamentals of F&B remain unchanged—convenience, quick service, and value for money continue to be critical drivers of consumer behavior. Consumers want food that fits their lifestyle without compromising on taste or affordability. To stay ahead, businesses must deliver on these core expectations while integrating new efficiencies. This is where technology plays a pivotal role. 

AI-driven marketing is enabling hyper-personalized promotions and menu recommendations, while automation in supply chains is streamlining inventory management, logistics, and even food preparation. These innovations are not just enhancing margins but also reshaping how brands engage with customers and scale operations. The F&B landscape is undergoing a transformation, and the businesses that can seamlessly merge innovation with operational excellence will thrive in the years ahead. Revery Capital is positioned to be at the forefront of such changes leveraging its expertise in operating industrial companies in Revery’s core F&B business.
