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 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. THREE-FOR-ALL OPERATORS GUIDE

PREP & PRICING The Three-for-All promotion showcases mini bites of all three products: Lemon Bars, Blondies and the Ultimate Chocolate Brownies. 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.

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.

BIG OPPORTUNITY AT THE SOUP STATION CU PS HC SD BI Most soup stations are overdue for a freshening up. Cornbread is just the ticket. Instead of the timeworn basket of saltines–in most cases offered free with a soup or chili purchase, with no contribution to profitability–the upgrade to cornbread squares offers increased value to the customer and add-on sales potential to your bottom line. Sweet and Jalapeno style cornbread’s are made with a moist, cake-style batter that holds perfectly for hours at room temperature. In fact, if rewrapped they’ll keep perfectly four days at room temp, but they’ll never be around that long. Customers will snap them up with your daily soup and chili offering. Seal the deal with eye-catching stacks of cornbread side-by-side on an attractive platter. We recommend a selling price of $.89 which delivers average product cost of 40%. Add-on cash register rings sound much better than free crackers!

By placing a limited number on an attractive narrow platter, you spotlight the product and increase its desirability. Assign a staffer to check and restock the platter frequently.

BLUEBERRY COBBLER This comfort food classic is a natural crowd-pleaser–a high fruit- to-filling ratio of flavorful Northern blueberries peering through the golden crust. While it might seem perfect for a self-service buffet, all it takes is one crust-lover to unbalance the dazzling good looks of this otherwise beautiful cobbler. Proud to serve To keep everyone happy, we recommend that cobbler portions be individually cut and served. And even though this is all about blueberries, we suggest that you offer two varieties of cobbler each time you serve them.
