THREE-FOR-ALL OPERATORS GUIDE SARA LEE PRODUCT PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS SPECS PREP & PRICING MARKETING THREE-FOR-ALL OPERATORS GUIDE SARA LEE PRODUCT PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS SPECS PREP & PRICING MARKETING Luscious Lemon Bars. Mouth-watering Blondies. Irresistibly rich Ultimate Chocolate Brownies. Everybody craves at least one of these top-selling snack/ dessert bars. Some people love all three. Three-for-All brings this trio of “Must Haves” together in a single Product Portfolio that make it easier than ever to order and offer exactly what everyone is hungry for! THREE-FOR-ALL OPERATORS GUIDE SARA LEE PRODUCT PORTFOLIO > INSIGHTS SPECS PREP & PRICING MARKETING The appeal is real The handy snack/dessert bars in Three-for-All have huge consumer appeal. Technomics reports that: • 62% of consumers want more handheld, ready-to-eat foods • 54% of consumers purchase on impulse, especially when items are displayed near checkout • 50% of consumers who eat snacks away from home do it en-route • 48% of patrons eat dessert at a different location than their meal The “All” refers to units as well–every non-commercial café, large or small, can benefit from promoting this product trio as a mix-or-match combo. Three-for-All raises the bar Putting this selection together yourself could take some time. For brownies, for example, there are 16 SKUs to choose from. The Three-for-All Product Portfolio cuts through the confusion. You’ll get top sellers of similarly high quality in brownies, blondies and lemon bars. Dayparting Thoughts Standalone dessert as well as smaller-sized trios to go? These beautiful bars cut it both ways. The to-go appeal starts at breakfast and continues throughout the day as customers plan snacks for later breaks and the trip home. Brunch is a booming daypart that presents a natural opportunity to increase check averages with this to-go offer. And, of course, this product portfolio fills the bill as a stand-alone dessert or add-on to a combo during lunch and dinner. Brownies are now on 24% of all restaurant menus, and predicted by Datassential to outperform 67% of other foods, beverages & ingredients over the next four years.

Each individual case is packed with four solid, full-sheet bars protected by an open cardboard tray wrapped in cello. 1. Open the case and remove the top cardboard tray 2. Spread the tray sides open. You’ll cut the brownies and lemon bars right on the cardboard surface. We recommend cutting each full-sheet bar into 48 individual pieces as shown. NOTE: the tray is pre-marked for full size portions. When you’re cutting the smaller sizes for Three-for-All we recommend adding a mark between the pre-marks on all four sides of the cardboard tray. Using that as a guide you will be able to cut 48 perfect pieces from each tray. 3. For the cleanest edge, cut the products while they’re still frozen. Be sure to use a sharp knife. TIP: Heat the knife under hot water, wipe dry, then make your cuts. Repeat as necessary to make cutting easier. 4. Use a different platter for each flavor, and display at different heights using risers. Invite customers to choose any three pieces for a set price. They may choose one of each flavor or three of the same. The brownies have a perfect chewy brownie texture and rich, melt- in-your mouth, chocolate taste. All of the products are truly packed with flavor. The individual portions may seem modest, yet together the trio makes a VERY satisfying dessert or snack. 5 THREE-FOR-ALL OPERATORS GUIDE SARA LEE PRODUCT PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS SPECS > PREP & PRICING MARKETING SINGLE PORTION SERVING RECOMMENDATIONS After your customers have sampled these amazing bars through the Three-for-All promotion, you’ll want to routinely offer the products in a traditional portion size. The cardboard tray for each single lemon and brownie bar is pre-marked for full portion size cutting. Use the same process and knife-heating tip to cut the individual bars into sixteen pieces. Most large non-commercial dining services will offer all three bars every day. Smaller operations may choose to offer a different bar each week. CATERING Mini bite portions of all three bars are perfect for bringing a classy finishing touch to any catering setting. Simply place the cut pieces in straight line on serving platters set at different heights by using risers. Let guests help themselves. Wise foodservice directors keep extra cases of each product on hand. The compact master cases require relatively little freezer space, and are money in the bank for ensuring first class responses to last-minute catering requests. 6 THREE-FOR-ALL OPERATORS GUIDE SARA LEE PRODUCT PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS SPECS > PREP & PRICING MARKETING SUGGESTED SELLING PRICE These wonderful brownies and lemon bars could (and DO!) command top billing on high-quality restaurant menus.
