Trends, Taste & What Operators Want Next

Join FSAA in Sydney for a Viewpoint Lunch exploring the evolving expectations of today’s foodservice operators - from flavour direction and menu innovation to the broader role hospitality plays in community and culture.

This session will feature Shaun Christie-David, Founder and CEO of Plate It Forward Hospitality Group, whose social enterprise restaurants and catering operations have redefined the intersection of hospitality, impact and business.

Through his experience building purpose-driven venues including Colombo Social, Kabul Social and Kyiv Social, Shaun brings a unique perspective on what modern diners expect, how operators are responding, and the opportunities for suppliers to remain relevant in a changing foodservice landscape.

Set within the iconic Sydney Swans HQ, this Viewpoint Lunch offers suppliers, manufacturers, chefs and distributors the opportunity to connect over practical insight and meaningful conversation shaping the future of foodservice.
