Review: Food & Bev Live 2020

Food & Bev Live 2020 returned to the Citywest Dublin on 4th & 5th February and it was enjoyed by all in the foodservice industry. Thousands of visitors attended to see the latest and greatest new tech, equipment and machinery available for hotels, cafes, bistros & restaurants. There was also fierce competition across chefs, baristas & mixologists which added to the atmosphere.

The Chef’s Choice area was a hive of activity displaying the finest offerings from artisan food & beverage suppliers. We also saw displays from Calor to Flipdish to Milano Coffee Systems and many more. BusinessLoans.ie could see opportunities for business owners to avail of working capital finance to asset finance and even insurance premium finance.

There were the IFSAs, industry awards highlighting product and service innovation within the Irish foodservice industry. Winners were found across six categories including best sustainable packaging product, best sustainable food product, energy efficiency innovation and supplier of the year. The theme this year was innovation for a sustainable future. This was demonstrated, for example by use of non-disposable by market innovators "2GoCup".
