What trends / industry news are you seeing in respect to the products or services you offer?
Being in the foodservice industry there are always so many things going on every year, as the segment is constantly evolving. If we had to pick out a few trends that directly impact the products we manufacture, these are most likely the most relevant at this particular time:
Corporate catering is a multi-billion dollar business and is growing. Companies are seeing that by offering company meals to their employees, they could improve morale and productivity. EMI Yoshi offers many styles of products that work within this segment, which includes our Essentials line of serving utensils. We offer many sizes and shapes to help make your Drop Off catering program a success.
Another recent trend involves bowls. Bowls have been gaining in popularity for several reasons. Probably one of the biggest reasons is the impact that social media has made in our lives. Many people love to post pictures of the foods they are eating and bowls offer a great vessel to capture the creation in a picturesque way. This trend ties in directly with another one, which is that people love to eat with their eyes. Seeing a picture on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook often creates a desire, within a person, to want that item too. At EMI Yoshi, making food look as delicious as it tastes is our passion.
What brand highlights does the industry need to know about?
EMI Yoshi offers its Conserve™ line of environmentally friendly catering trays. Made from a more easily recycled material, polypropylene, they are perfect for the environmentalist within us all. Not only are they strong and durable, but they are reusable, microwaveable, and dishwasher safe. As more people are looking toward eco-friendly products, Conserve™ trays fills that need.
What products and services will you/did you feature through your Art of Catering Food sponsorship?

We are featuring products from our Small Wonders, Resposables, Squares, Party Trays, Essentials, and Glimmerware lines, just to give you an overview.
