“A genuine, important innovation and absolute game-changer, and a no-brainer for all operators.”

With a judging panel of: Justin Carter, Group MD, Loungers; Gavin Smith, Managing Director, Pizza Pilgrims; Keith Bird, Former CEO, Marugame Udon (Europe); Peter Woods, Development Chef, Hawksmoor; and Arnaud Kaziewicz, Head of Food, Red Engine, this was the feedback they provided after awarding Good Food Talks the Gold Innovation Challenge Award at the 2024 Casual Dining Show.

GFT is an innovative platform designed to provide accessible menus for diners with visual or cognitive impairments. The platform ensures that blind, visually impaired, or dyslexic individuals can independently navigate menus through both web and mobile apps, making it easier for them to enjoy a seamless and inclusive dining experience.

For hospitality operators, this solution not only improves customer satisfaction but also demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity and accessibility, integral in today’s hospitality landscape.

Matt Wadsworth, founder of GFT, said: “Let’s make accessible menus the norm, not the exception.” Winning the Gold Award highlights our continued dedication to ensuring everyone, regardless of their abilities, can dine out with confidence and ease.

This recognition is a significant milestone in our mission to empower both operators and diners, creating a more inclusive dining experience for everyone.
