The recent years have seen many disturbances in the supply chain, particularly in the foodservice industry. We've witnessed firsthand the challenges these shortages can create, so we decided to develop our new Core Collections to provide immediate access to our most popular tabletop SKUs. Now, with our Core Collections, foodservice operators can access a comprehensive range of dinnerware, cutlery, glassware, and serveware designed to elevate the dining experience in high-volume settings.

Spring is always a popular time of the year to release the latest and greatest in tabletop. As usual, many of today's dinnerware and serveware trends are driven by foodservice tendencies in general, and 2024 is no different.

There's a lot to unpack here, so let's start with a brief history of Nick and Nora, the characters.

Poolside dining is one of the joys of summer and warm-weather months. For guests, it provides an opportunity to dine in a relaxed yet vibrant setting. For operators, that translates to an ability to attract and delight those customers. It's a win/win we've come to enjoy each year as winter winds down.

In recent years, the resurgence of classic cocktails has taken the mixology scene by storm, with cocktail bars across the globe embracing timeless concoctions like the Hemingway Daiquiri and the Sazerac. This revival isn't just about nostalgia, though. It also reflects consumers' growing appreciation for craftsmanship and authenticity in their drinks, as well as fresh interpretations of what the classics can ultimately be.
