Washington, DC, July 07, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Menu trend-vetting & monitoring services and food management programs to boost multi-unit restaurant menus.

Maryland Restaurant Consulting has added Trendystia for the benefit of growth-oriented chain restaurant executives. The Trendystia portfolio of services helps restaurant companies with food & beverage menu trend application to more successfully integrate forward-looking trends in menu rollouts, as well as support new concept and food program development.

“The new Trendystia programs are exciting and highly relevant programs for restaurant C-suite, culinary, marketing and R&D executives,” says Rick Zambrano, president of Maryland Restaurant Consulting. “Trendystia, in particular, helps restaurateurs apply and vet menu trends for their own application, reducing the pressure and stress on internal resources.”

In addition to the dozen top trend watchers in the country who many in the industry follow, there are dozens of other trend resources and personalities to track, then filter for a restaurant concept and apply what’s most consumer relevant and economically sustainable. That type of work is extremely challenging for many chains, resulting in slow-to-market innovation and menu items, beverages and even new store concepts that are not profitable.

Trendystia helps resolve for those issues by: aligning strategic food goals with emerging menu trends, tracking concepts in the competitive space, earmarking resources for research in particular regions, and even in particular food show venues and researching the economic viability of particular food & beverage menu trends for a restaurant chain or food service organization.

One legacy approach that has hurt restaurants, in particular, is a siloing of menu development within a particular context or a particular segment philosophy, rather than allowing multi-unit concepts to optimize their creativity and innovation to meet current consumer needs. “For restaurant concepts, it doesn’t pay to be trendy, and many companies have found that out the hard way,” adds Zambrano. “It pays to be on-trend and to incorporate recent menu trends that are fully-vetted, and have traction through analogous trends and strong economics through meeting the needs of consumers, and specifically, consumer trends.
