Why do some brands win on foodservice menus, while others never get past pitch stage? Brands Away from Home is Omne’s annual insight report — the definitive guide to how, when, and why operators choose brands in key categories over own-label alternatives.

It presents Emotional vs. Functional heat maps that reveal how operators perceive branded products compared to own-label, highlighting where brands can defend or grow their territory. The report also focuses on the metrics that matter: how brands stay top of mind and drive repeat purchase - insights that fuel compelling selling stories for sales teams.

As operators increasingly rely on generative AI and new digital tools to search for suppliers and products, Brands Away from Home uncovers their evolving path to brand discovery.

All of these insights are designed to keep Omne clients’ strategies and activations firmly ahead of operator attitudes.

Now in its third year, the 2025 competition set out to celebrate the people behind the UK’s best pizzas. And we helped them make it happen.
