On Wednesday, the fast-food chain is adding McGriddle sandwiches to the all-day menu and making both McMuffin and biscuit sandwiches available at all restaurants.

McDonald’s all-day breakfast menu has been credited with a boost in earnings and revitalized business – and that was just a scaled back version of the menu. The latest change signals that the chain is going all in on anytime breakfast.

France’s main hospitality union has signed a deal with a company called TakeAway to supply restaurants with microwaveable boxes in its quest to “generalize the use of doggie bags.”

Beyond old habits, this may be a more difficult trend to import. In France and throughout Europe in general, restaurant portions are designed to be completely finished in one sitting, and are typically much smaller than their American counterparts.

While you’re in the lunch line deciding on which type of lettuce you want, Facebook employees are deciding if it’s a blueberry kale chip kind of day or a time to ignore calorie counts and go all in on a strawberry cronut with chocolate peanut butter pretzel ice cream. That’s if Korean BBQ, sushi and lots of other options have been ruled out. Even though that last one is presumably a knockoff, we can’t help but think cronut and ice cream in a can inventor Dominique Ansel would be impressed.

Michele Ferrero, billionaire owner of the company which makes chocolate hazelnut Nutella spread and Ferrero Rocher candies, is dead at the age of 89.

Fairlife is riding two trends in the food industry, according to Jonas Feliciano, a senior beverage analyst at the consumer-research firm Euromonitor International. The first is that Americans are convinced that they aren’t getting enough protein. The second is that they’re increasingly vigilant when it comes to identifying any intolerance they may have of gluten or lactose. The high-protein, lactose-free Fairlife indulges both of these neuroses.

The thinking is that this acquisition should help Yelp in two areas. First of all, it will give the company more contact points with restaurants. And second of all, it will help the company shore up its core listings business with another revenue stream.

That’s the obvious answer, but Eat24’s absolutely brilliant (and slightly NSFW) advertising methods and unconventional path to growth couldn’t have hurt.

Starbucks is rolling out coconut milk as the chain’s first non-soy dairy alternative for caffeine fiends nationwide…the Paleo-friendly, vegan-friendly, lactose-free, many-birds-with-one-stone option launches February 17 and is available for hot or cold drinks.

Some restaurants and service providers still prefer cash, but for encouraging generosity, credit cards and electronic payments are king.

“The onset of iPad P.O.S. systems is completely changing the way consumers tip,” said Justin Guinn, a retail market research associate at Software Advice, who recently completed a study on the effect of such systems on tipping practices for clients in the restaurant industry. “Just this morning, I gave a 40 percent tip on my $2.50 coffee because the cafe’s P.O.S. system has a ‘smart tipping’ feature.”

Such a feature, he explained, automatically adjusts preset tipping options on orders less than $10 to $1, $2 or $3. But for orders greater than $10, it changes them to 15, 20 or 25 percent.

Though there wasn’t one definitively “original” design, a pattern emerged among mass-produced uniforms. The white — often detachable — trim around the sleeve was attractive, but more importantly, it made the outfit reminiscent of those worn by ladies’ maids (as did the little hat). Imagine a stereotypical French maid outfit: Chances are, you’re picturing the same thing as a diner waitress uniform, but in black. The typical waitress uniform therefore needed to seem servile enough to make customers feel as though they were getting a little bit of luxurious treatment with their coffee and dessert.
