The hospitality industry is one of the biggest industries that have a big scope of almost everyday necessities of a lot of people.

Functional ingredients that are naturally present in foods—like the gut-healthy probiotics in kombucha or calming derivative in CBD oil—have consumers interested in healing from the inside with every meal.
It’s not hard to understand why these food courts are gaining such widespread popularity. One, people can enjoy a vast variety of cuisines under one roof unlike a restaurant that typically serves a specific cuisine. Two, the prices for food items are generally lower than what you would pay at a restaurant, so people find value for money in them. And finally, the self-service, fast-paced, and casual atmosphere of food courts is a big draw for people who want to make a quick eating stop and don’t want the fuss involved in going to a restaurant.
