KPMG Survey: Food and Beverage Executives Expect Improved Revenue, Profitability This Year and Next; Majority See Small Increase In Hiring
Product, Merchandising Innovations Seen As Biggest Revenue Drivers: Most Now See Full U.S. Economic Recovery Two Years Out
NEW YORK, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Senior executives in the food and beverage industry see improved revenue and profitability this year and next, but caution that the jobs outlook in their sector will only gradually improve in 2011 according to a recent survey conducted by KPMG LLP, the audit, tax and advisory firm.
Soda taxes fizzle in wake of industry lobbying
Now, the beverage industry has momentum flowing in the opposite direction. Its lobbyists quashed every other state effort to pass a soda tax this year, including bills in Mississippi, New Mexico and New York state. In Washington state, an industry-funded initiative to repeal the new soda tax appears certified to go before voters on this November's ballot. Its sponsors turned in 395,000 signatures, much higher than the 240,000 required.
The American Beverage Association (ABA) is supporting the campaign for Initiative 1107 by funneling money to its Washington state branch, which relies on Pepsi and Coke's Northwest bottling warehouses for most of its revenue. ABA spent more than $1 million just gathering signatures to get the initiative on the ballot. Sandeep Kaushik, a spokesman for the coalition of children's health groups who advocated for the soda tax, expects the industry to pour as much as $10 million into the election.

R&I's Top 100 Independent Restaurants of 2010
Most operators experienced some losses. Indeed, half of the restaurants in R&I's Top 100 are located in either Las Vegas or New York, two particularly hard-hit cities. Even Tao Las Vegas Restaurant & Nightclub, the top earner in the ranking (as has been the case for four years) saw its food-and-beverage sales fall 13% in 2009.HuffPost Image Gallery - Check out pics of the restaurants that topped the list

Just got the latest in my mailbox...
For those of you that have ever been to a symposium or a convention in your field of endeavor, you quickly realize that there is a dearth of businesses willing and eager to offer you programs and advice to "manage your bottom line", "expand your market", "secure your profitability", and other buzz words designed to make sure your dollars end up in their pockets. I always give these cats the stink eye after hearing their pitch; but there is a very helpful trade magazine for the Food & Beverage Industry in which I do take stock in and read: Sante.
