Imagine a restaurant is serving a platter with sizzling and crispy fresh green veggies, every time you are ordering something. It sounds too exciting, right?

The concept of Hyper-local food has made this possible now. You all must be acquainted with local food movement. In which restaurants source some of their food from nearby farms or produce it on their own. They make an extra effort to provide the best quality ingredients while supporting sustainability and the local economy.

However, in recent years, many restaurants have taken the local food concept one step further and are accepting hyperlocal food.

There are hyperlocal restaurants that are sourcing almost all of their food locally. Some of the restaurants are growing vegetables for their dishes in their restaurants.

Orlando World Centre Marriott resort is also doing the same. They have got a vertical farm installed in their restaurant in an area of 4000 cubic feet. It is a hydroponic system that will be producing 1,10,000 heads of lettuce and 13,000 lbs of other leafy greens, herbs, and micro-greens annually. That will be used to support 9 lounges and restaurants on- property as well hotel’s banquet needs.

That is fresh vegetables and herbs will be available 24 hours. 40 to 50 varieties of produce can be grown and incorporated into the restaurant menus- pick- to- plate within hours for providing maximum freshness.

Additional benefits of this system

It has an advanced water filtration system with additional capacity. That can be used by the hotel’s bars and restaurants, including bottling and purified water. It has multiple filtration levels and a biological decontamination system using UV light.
