In a country where hectic schedules are commonplace, how do you perceive the relationship between technology, culinary traditions and the need for convenient dining options? The challenge that food tech companies face when trying to balance these three factors – quality, delivery time and affordability, is ensuring that convenience or pricing doesn’t compromise nutritional integrity and vice versa. As food tech evolves, companies must find ways to sustain all three and keep their customers happy. Striking the right balance requires continuous innovation, collaboration with nutritionists and a commitment to delivering nourishing options.

Additionally, advancements in sustainable sourcing and reduced food waste can contribute to a more eco-conscious and efficient food chain.
