Future Bites is built by a team with deep roots in the global restaurant and hospitality industry. Founded by Julia Chesnokova (Food & Success Agency) in collaboration with the GRIF Collective (Global Restaurant Investment Forum), we’ve been working across markets since 2011 — producing trend reports, hosting international summits, and connecting F&B leaders across continents.
WHY WE BUILT THIS PLATFORM
We created Future Bites because the restaurant industry is changing faster than ever, yet information remains fragmented, localised, or locked in silos.
There was no single place to:
Track emerging restaurant concepts globally
Benchmark what works across regions and models
Access relevant insights without endless digging
Connect the right people at the right time
So we built it. Future Bites is a tool for discovery, strategy, and connection, made for those shaping what’s next in F&B.
PRACTICAL TOOLS YOU FIND ON FB:
Global trend reports and market briefings
Concept discovery: scalable, innovative, or chef-led models
Benchmarks: pricing, performance, positioning
Expert insights and white-label tools for groups and investors
Monthly newsletter with what matters — only the best
Coming soon: private networking features to connect members — concepts, investors, and developers — for investment and collaboration
PAIN POINTS WE COVER
Problem: Difficult to discover scalable, future-proof F&B concepts
What Future Bites Offers: Curated directory of innovative, growth-ready models, concept library updated weekly
Problem: Trend reports are too general or too local to act on
What Future Bites Offers: Segment-specific, curated insights tailored to region and format
Problem: No clear benchmarks across cities or formats
What Future Bites Offers: Actionable case studies and format benchmarking
Problem: Lack of data, investment signals, or trend outlooks by city/region/country
What Future Bites Offers: Strategic intelligence by market and category from trusted local authorities and experts
Problem: Existing platforms focus on networking, but not industry-specific matchmaking
What Future Bites Offers: (Coming soon) direct access to vetted F&B founders, investors, and operators within a trusted, professional space
HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT
While local consultants and media do great work in their regions, Future Bites is built for cross-border decision-makers — those scaling, investing, or seeking the next move globally
Global-first
Cross-segment
Curated, not crowdsourced
Action-oriented
Unbiased (no paid listings or PR features)
Reputation-first
WHO'S BEHIND THE INSIGHTS
We collaborate with a growing international network of researchers, concept scouts, journalists, and industry insiders, each deeply rooted in their region’s food and beverage scene. From Los Angeles to Bangkok, from Madrid to Dubai — our contributors spot new openings, decode emerging patterns, and share what matters most. Their local expertise = your global edge!
