Hospitality Leaders Poll: Confidence falls as lockdown fears grow - and it’s a no to calorie counts

HLP

Hospitality is strongly opposed to introducing calorie counts on menus and alcohol, according to the latest Hospitality Leaders Poll carried out by Lumina Intelligence. Of the 191 questioned, all of whom are board level positions or founders of restaurants, pubs and food to go operations, 83% condemned plans to introduce calorie counts to menus, while 76% were against the proposals to add calorie counts to alcohol. “People go to pubs for a relaxed experience and know that their choices are not necessarily healthy ones,” said one multi-site operator, while another said: “It’s the wrong time to be doing this.”
