New Challenges & New Menus

With the COVID-19 crisis impacting all industries across the world, food service operations are facing a new set of unprecedented challenges. As the foodservice industry begins to re-open; new business practices, challenges and opportunities must be embraced. How we respond and thrive in this new environment will have long term implications to the foodservice landscape.

According to Technomic, “The Post-Pandemic Playbook”* , and from the Chefs on our webinar, some key issues to address are:

• Focus on training staff - Labor will be a key issue and having cross -trained staff that can handle multiple duties will be critical • Consider more use of convenience products • Speed scratch preparation • Consistency! • Assess and evaluate the menu to focus on items that are most profitable and travel well • Core items that you do well – back to the basics • Items that customers crave • Comfort food

• Understand your critical areas that are vulnerable to consumer perceptions of hygiene and work to build contingencies • Maintain visibility of sanitizing efforts, social distancing signage, PPE for employees • Be sensitive and accommodating to customer concerns – build confidence for them to return!

• Maintain and build relationships with your distributor partners; they will be critical to “opening” the restaurant industry • Work together to use high SKU, versatile inventory items • Be pro-active in menu development/anticipate potential shortages of commodity items

• Prioritize safety and sanitization • Tamper-proof packaging • Contact-less payment
