Grocerant niche
Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared food continues to be a disruptive
force driving change within the retail foodservice sector. Legacy restaurant chains, legacy grocery
store chains have to adapt to the evolving consumer or risk customer migration
according to Foodservice Solutions® Grocerant Guru™ Steven Johnson.
In fact according to
the National Restaurant Association “some 75 percent of foodservice consumption
is off-premise”. While delivery is an
ever expanding point of fresh food distribution both restaurants and grocery
stores are seeing an up-tick in Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh food sold for
out-of-store eating. Consumers are
increasingly going to a restaurant or grocery store in search of a ‘meal for now solution’ according to the
Grocerant Guru™.
Fast growing 28-unit
fast casual start-up Pizza Rev CEO Rodney Eckerman stated that “despite having
a model built for in-store consumption, Pizza Rev sees a quarter of its pizzas
walk out the door to-go”. Even
technology online / mobile food ordering Guru Noah Glass stated that “There’s a
large shift in foodservice to food consumed elsewhere,” …“There’s an idea of
using restaurants as a surrogate home kitchen. Someone else preps and cooks the
food, but you still eat at home.”
Kind of reminds you
of Foodservice Solutions® ground breaking research years ago on ‘The 65 Inch HDTV Syndrome”. Consumers never take a step back. Today the number of ways to watch programs on
your 65 Inch HDTV has increased exponentially and so are the points of
Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared food according to our team at
Foodservice Solutions®.
