Restaurants search for answers and
convenience stores the ilk of QuickChek Corp.
expand customer relevance with new electricity, delivering a fresh fast
solution for dinner meals and more according to Steven
Johnson, Grocerant Guru® Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions®.
That new electricity comes via a new partnership
with DoorDash to offer its complete foodservice menu for delivery. Why is this important
third party delivery is an incremental step that drives top line sales and
bottom line profits according to Johnson. It’s the start, milk, eggs, soap will
be next to increase the basket size and most importantly drive the all-important
mix & match bunding so important for consumers buying within the grocerant
niche.
Delivery is the latest convenient
purchase option from QuickChek Corp., following the introduction of in-store
self-checkout counters, mobile ordering and curbside pickup. Remember in 2020
saving time is at the core of everything for the consumer even if they have
been staying home.
QuickChek CEO Dean Durling stated "We
let you choose your convenience, and with our new partnership with DoorDash, we
can deliver whatever you're in the mood for right to your door, whenever and
wherever you want,".
Third party Apps the ilk of DoorDash’s mobile
app have become a platform that consumers expect to find a full range of items including QuickChek's
custom-made sub sandwiches and wraps made with seasonal ingredients and fresh
meats and cheeses; comfort foods such as mac-and-cheese; fresh baked QuickChek
snacks, including French fries, empanadas, and mozzarella sticks; and
handcrafted QuickChek beverages, including real fruit smoothies, milkshakes and
decadent treats.
Since the delivery rollout began, 12-inch
subs, six-packs of fresh baked QuickChek chocolate chunk cookies, and pints of
ice cream are among the most popular items. Safe food delivery options are
paramount during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to QuickChek, which noted
that it has added a speedy, contactless way for consumers to enjoy their
favorite foods as well as bypass a trip to the supermarket.
Battle for Share of Stomach
Durling continued "Whether you want
to visit your neighborhood store, pick up restaurant-quality food and essential
household products at curbside, or have your comfort food cravings delivered,
we can provide you with the fast, safe and healthy shopping environment you
seek,"
Driving
new electricity into a legacy brand with a partnership
is a good move and will accelerate the marketing messaging for all companies
involved according to Johnson. How is your company positioning to grow your
brand, the top, and bottom line?
Johnson stated “that in my minds-eye the
new electricity must be very efficient for the supply chain and includes such
things as fresh foods, online ordering, delivery, plant based foods,
sampling, toy’s, cereal, developing brands,
grocerant positioning, fresh food messaging, autonomous
delivery, cashier-less retail, plates, glasses, cash-less payments, digital
hand-held marketing.
All food and beverage retailers to
survive the next generation of retail must embrace the artificial intelligence
revolution while simultaneously embracing fresh food and beverages that
are portable, fresh, with differentiation that is familiar not different. Does your retail path forward look more
like yesterday than tomorrow? Why?
