Since 2014, restaurant-goers have renewed interest in socializing away from home and more money to spend, a stark turnaround from preceding years when diners were living on tighter budgets thanks to a recession that began in 2008. As crowds waiting in line for their favorite eat- eries begin to grow anew, restaurants have begun to implement new menus and dining styles in an at- tempt to attract a broader clientele. Many trends are catering to the younger, technology-driv- en customer. • Photo-ready foods: Diners are uti- lizing social media to share their menu choices with people all around the world. Scroll through anyone's news feed and you're likely to fi nd photograph's of last night's entrée or an impressive dessert enjoyed during a night out with friends. Many restauranteurs understand that their latest culinary creation is likely to fi nd its way onto social media, so a greater emphasis is being placed on plat- ing — or making foods look better when fi rst presented to diners. • Digital kiosks: Desire an appetizer or want to reorder another beverage? You may not have to fl ag down your server to do so. Several restaurants have implemented tablet-based service at their tables. In addition to playing games or getting apprised on the latest specials, guests can order some menu items through table-mounted tablets. And if you're in a rush for the check, swipe your credit card and pay the bill without waiting for your waiter to bring it over. • Healthier kids' choices: For years the standard fare for kids has been burgers, fries and various recipes for mac-and-cheese. But a survey of profes- sional chefs sponsored by the National Restaurant Association revealed that many restaurants are now offering a greater variety of foods on kids' menus. Soups, salads, leaner meats, and more vegetables are some of the items kids can choose from. • Increase in craft foods: Greater em- phasis is being placed on creating meals that look and taste good and are pro- duced in eco- and com- munity-friendly ways. Craft foods are made in small batches from lo- cally sourced ingredients, helping to create a symbi- otic relationship between eateries, farmers, food manufacturers, and din- ers. • Community tables: Make new friends while dining out by getting seated at community ta- bles, which are no longer restricted to Japanese hi- bachi restaurants. These larger tables pair different diners together. • Neurogastronomy: Many restaurants are employing neuro- gastronomy, or the science of manipu- lating perception of how foods taste by external factors. Everything from the colors of dishes to the sounds of music being piped in can affect your perception of taste. • Prepaid reservations: Today you can purchase just about anything in advance, from movie tickets to vacations. Soon you may be able to prepay for restaurant meals as well. Arrive at your reserved time and enjoy your meal. This trend is benefi cial to restaurants because they are guaranteed revenue even if patrons do not show up. Trends in dining out can make meal experiences more unique. Expect some new changes at your favorite restaurants.
