The Secret Sauce of Sustainable Menus

How plant-forward menu engineering can benefit your guests, the planet, and your bottom line.

In today’s rapidly evolving foodservice landscape, sustainability is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a business imperative. Our Executive Chef Christopher Tonti recently joined a sustainability panel discussion with leading voices in NYC hospitality and foodservice.

The topic? How to achieve sustainability goals with maximum impact through creative menu design and behavioral science for new audiences of flexitarians and omnivores. They discussed the “why” behind plant-forward menus and how we can all achieve the triple bottom line: people, planet, and profit.
