If you are a food retailer and want to be in
business five years from now you have better be integrating technology every
day according to Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based
Foodservice Solutions® who stated, “flavor, freshness, fast service is
important but how, where and why customers come to you and then come back may
require a degree of technology you might not yet have.”
Take for example, TOUS les JOURS, a French-Asian bakery café
chain offering more than 300 different kinds of artisan pastries, gourmet
cakes and desserts baked in-store daily, revealed its Among Us Impostor
Cake based off the popular online multiplayer social deduction game created
by Innersloth. The Among Us game
gained huge popularity during the pandemic, where it drew nearly 500 million
monthly active users and received the “Favorite Video Game” award at the 2021
Kids’ Choice Awards.
Now did you understand that their branded game
drew nearly 500 million monthly active users?
That’s very big, very, very big.

You Too Can Win
So, inspired by the Red Impostor from Among
Us, the new cake features chocolate cake layered with ganache-infused whipped
cream and choco crunch balls. The cake is finished with a beautiful red glaze
and packaged in a themed Among Us box. Perfect for any of life’s celebrations,
the new Among Us Impostor Cake joins TOUS les
JOURS’ lineup of Among Us-themed treats, including the Among Us Choco
Crunch Cake which debuted last year and remains on the menu due to popular
demand.
Victoria Tran, Community Director at Innersloth, stated, "We're so
excited to collaborate with TOURS les JOURS to create a delicious experience
our communities can enjoy. It's such a fun way to celebrate a special occasion
or even just treat yourself! We can't wait to see the cake in stores all around
the country and the joy it'll bring to people's faces,".
According to Johnson, “Brand relevance is in part driven with innovation
in new food products in combination with new avenues of distribution all of
which are the platform for the new electricity.”
Johnson stated “that in my minds-eye the
new electricity must be very efficient for the supply and includes such things
as fresh foods, developing brands, unique urban clothing, grocerant
positioning, fresh food messaging, autonomous delivery, cashier-less
retail, plates, glasses, cash-less payments, digital hand-held marketing.
All retailers to survive the next
generation of retail must embrace the artificial intelligence revolution
while simultaneously embracing fresh food that is portable, fresh, with
differentiation that is familiar not different.
