The Power of Food Influence (Public)

Lisa Lahiji Chief Marketing Officer

We are thrilled to launch the Eurest magazine, focused on the theme of “Food Influence.” For years, food has been a rising star in our content-consuming world, carrying more than just heartfelt traditions but being a focal point of curiosity, adventure and connection when in need of human interaction. Eurest understands the critical role food plays in influencing moods, energy, productivity, and overall well-being. It can change the tone of an environment and build relationships that are deep and meaningful. In the evolving workplace, food has transformed into a valuable amenity.

The expectations surrounding onsite food have evolved as well. It’s not just about the meal anymore; it’s about the entire food experience customization, convenience, events, and connection are key components. Our focus on Food Influence drives us to reimagine our vision and create the future.

The strength of Eurest, and more broadly Compass Group, lies in our ability to touch the lives of our guests at every stage of their life cycle through our company's unique sectorization approach from early childhood through education, careers, and into retirement. This deep connection and understanding of consumer behavior is ingrained in our operations. By leveraging the strengths and knowledge across sectors, we are well-equipped to anticipate the needs of the population entering the workforce.

We apply this holistic approach across all lines of business, whether serving the in-office professional or skilled trade worker or our hotel, casino, or airport lounge clients. We delve deep into understanding how food impacts every aspect of a person’s day, equipping ourselves with the knowledge and teams to harness this power.
