麦当劳首席执行官克里斯·坎普钦斯基(Chris Kempczinski)表示,蛋白质很受欢迎。
作为市值超2000亿美元的《财富》美国500强快餐巨头的掌舵人,坎普钦斯基对吸引消费者的新兴食品趋势了如指掌。
“事物总是在不断变化,”坎普钦斯基本周在Instagram上发布的一段视频中对其两万多名粉丝说道,“我喜欢和团队坐在一起,预测未来一年的趋势。”
以下是他对快餐业三大趋势的预测。
菜单上的蛋白质增多
社交媒体上充斥着关于制作富含蛋白质餐食的建议,比如TikTok上走红的“什锦豆沙拉”和“牛仔沙拉”食谱。
坎普钦斯基说:“蛋白质很热门,深受大家的喜爱。”
虽然对蛋白质的热烈追捧或许只是昙花一现,因为专家称满足日常热量需求的人通常已经摄入了足够的蛋白质,但坎普钦斯基却预测,将会有更多人渴望增加蛋白质的摄入量。
他说:“蛋白质将成为一个大趋势,你会发现人们都在寻求增加蛋白质的摄入量。”
麦当劳计划到2027年将门店数量扩充至5万家。目前,该连锁店正全力发掘其鸡肉产品的潜力,本月还宣布重新推出鸡柳和小吃卷。
人工智能整合
坎普钦斯基表示,该行业已为人工智能的创新应用做好了充分准备。
他说:“人工智能在我们的业务中确实有很多应用场景。我们有多个团队致力于探索如何利用人工智能为顾客提供更优质的体验,同时也为员工带来更好的体验。”
甜辣口味
坎普钦斯基称,平淡口味已过时,喜欢调味酱的人有福了。他预测:“在我看来,2025年调味酱也将成为热门趋势。”
尽管这家全球最受欢迎的快餐店在收银台为顾客提供了多种调味酱(诸如烧烤酱),但坎普钦斯基透露,辣酱和甜酱爱好者将会受到特别关照。
他说:“毋庸置疑,辣味一直都很受欢迎,我觉得未来可能会有一些蜂蜜或其他甜味酱料成为新宠。”(财富中文网)

Protein is in, according to McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski.
Helming the Fortune 500 fast food giant, valued at over $200 billion, Kempczinski has a pulse on the up-and-coming trends of the the types of food attracting consumers.
“Things are always changing,” Kempczinski said in an Instagram video to his over 20,000 followers this week. “I love to sit with the team and make predictions about what we think is going to come in the year ahead.”
Here are the his top three trend predictions for the quick-service restaurant industry:
More protein on the menu
Social media is full of advice on making protein-packed meals, like TikTok’s viral “dense bean salad” and “cowboy caviar” recipes.
“Protein is hot,” said Kempczinski. “Everybody is into protein.”
While the protein hype may be just that, as experts say people who meet their caloric needs tend to get enough protein already, Kempczinski predicts more people will be eager to up their intake.
“Protein is going to be a big trend that you see with people looking to get increased protein consumption,” he said.
The chain, which plans to hit 50,000 restaurants by 2027, is capitalizing on their chicken items and annonced this month that they’re bringing back chicken strips and snack wraps.
AI integration
Kempczinski says the industry is ripe for innovations in AI.
“AI certainly has a lot of applications in our business,” he said. “We’ve got a number of teams looking at how we can use AI to deliver am even better experience for our customers, an even better experience for our crew members.”
Sweet and spicy flavors
Bland is out and condiment lovers are in luck, says Kempczinski, who predicts “sauces are also going to be a big thing in my estimation for 2025.”
While customers of the world’s most popular fast food restaurant have had their pick of the litter of sauces at the checkout counter (BBQ, please), Kempczinski says hot sauce and sweet sauce fans will be catered to specifically.
“Spicy is certainly always in,” he said. “I think you might see some honey or some sweet stuff in.”
