"The functional beverage revolution isn't coming to the food and beverage industry-it's already here. With the functional beverage market projected to reach $50 billion by 2025 and growing at 4.5% annually, restaurant operators have an unprecedented opportunity to dramatically increase profitability.

They're profit powerhouses that command premium pricing while meeting consumers' growing demand for wellness-focused dining experiences.
