Summary: It's early in the 2025 reporting season, but new trends in the restaurant and foodservice space are already emerging. 2024 was a difficult year and the industry is still adjusting—navigating the same pressures of inflation, labor costs, and economic shifts, plus some new challenges. Consumer habits continue to evolve, and technology is playing a bigger role than ever. Today we're joined by Michael Halen, the Senior Restaurant and Foodservice Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. At Bloomberg, Michael publishes company-specific and industry-focused research on everything from how new government policies will impact business to the shifting demographics that affect consumer behavior. Michael makes frequent appearances as a TV and radio guest and is the host of Bloomberg Intelligence's restaurant-focused podcast titled Choppin' It Up. In this episode, Michael breaks down the biggest takeaways and predictions for 2025. As we enter the new year, what's setting the winners apart? Which trends have staying power, and what can last year's challenges tell us about the road ahead? And most importantly, what should restaurant leaders be looking out for to stay ahead of the curve?

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz analyzes the release of "Toot It" by Pardison Fontaine and Cardi B on February 7, 2025, via Hitmaker Music Group, following an eight-year wait since it was first teased by Fontaine. This collaboration marks their reunion since the 2018 hit "Backin' It Up," which charted significantly on various Billboard lists. However, the release comes amid a backdrop of personal controversy involving Fontaine's recent split from Megan Thee Stallion and his subsequent diss track "Thee Person." Cardi B has openly addressed the fallout on Twitter Spaces, emphasizing her long-standing friendship with Fontaine and defending her professional choices against fan backlash questioning her loyalty. This situation sheds light on the complex interplay between personal relationships and professional collaborations in the music industry, highlighting how social media intensifies these dynamics. Analytic Dreamz delves into the implications for the artists involved, discussing the broader themes of loyalty, gender dynamics, and the evolving nature of musical partnerships in today's hip-hop scene.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
