C-Suite Foresight Report: AI & the Future of Foodservice

How is AI changing foodservice? Twelve C-suite leaders weigh in on forecasting, menu innovation, and what’s next, backed by Datassential data — in partnership with The Prosper Company.

Intro

Datassential and The Prosper Company interviewed twelve C-suite executives across quick service, fast casual, midscale, and upscale casual brands about what the next five years will demand. On AI, they were unified: the payoff sits in the back office and the kitchen, from smarter forecasting to automated inventory, while people carry the hospitality up front. We set each force against Datassential’s food & beverage consumer and menu data to see how far it holds and what it means for operators.
