In 2016 the Next Big Thing in retail
foodservice just might be Non-traditional restaurant chains that are delivering
meals, deals, and finding success while expanding. Are the days of ever expanding chain restaurants
over? Or are we entering a new era of restaurant operational efficiency? Those are just some of the questions we posed
to Foodservice Solutions® Grocerant
Guru® Steven Johnson this week.
Regular readers of this blog know that
companies the ilk of
Munchery are well funded, full flavored, fresh food delivered don’t
offer indoor seating, outdoor seating, waiters, or waitresses. What they do offer is fine food fast,
delivered to your home or office.
Clearly this is part of the growing grocerant niche fueled by
Millennials seeking food discover.
Delivery only restaurants are popping
up all across the country like Munchery, they use one central kitchen to
prepare the meals and have them delivered by their own drivers or companies the
ilk of Uber, Lift, or Amazon Prime Now.
In New York there is Green Summit
Group,
In Chicago there is The Eat Purely
Company
which touts Dinner on Demand.
Virtual restaurant companies’ total sales today may
represent a minnow in the ocean of restaurants.
However do not take them for granted as the potential, profitability,
combined with customer convenience, edified with branded marketing just might
propel them like a powerboat on a quite lake.
Is your companies business model built for yesterday, today or tomorrow?
