A decade ago, special dietary requests made up less than 2% of culinary preparations. In today's marketplace special meal requirements, from gluten free, top eight allergen-friendly, vegetarian, kosher and sustainable, have soared to more than 15% and the ability to accommodate them impacts a catering company or restaurant's bottom line! The ability and willingness to meet these needs play a role in a client's decision-making process to utilize your services. Embracing this facet of hospitality is something to promote, not shy away from, and requires training, knowing your resources, as well as marketing opportunities.
