The Food & Beverage ecosystem has gained unprecedented growth over the last 5 years. From entry and expansion of multiple international food brands , rise of food bloggers, increase in restaurant spend by consumers, to fast and efficient door step delivery.

Whilst competition has thickened, the industry has been generally assessed through an optimistic lens.
