Understanding food differentiation too out game the competition.



At Foodservice Solutions® we believe that there is a universal set of consumer food commonalities that when view with the consumer in mind provide clues to retail food success. That differentiation does not mean different it means familiar with a consumer relevant twist. 
At the intersection of contemporary consumer meal consumption trends and the confluence of the time starved consumer is the grocerant niche filled with fresh ready-2-eat and heat-N-eat prepared food.  Driven by consumer demand these items can be found in Grocery Stores, Chain & Independent Restaurants, Convenience Stores, Chain Drug Stores and increasing at food trucks and online food portals.
As long as multi-generational family's gather for meals together, the demand for more divergent flavors continues at meal time will continue to grow. Grocerant mix and match bundled meal component offerings allow for increased family integration, understanding and acceptance in less time without a required cook from scratch skill set.
In the 1940's cooking from scratch was the normal. The average home cooked meal took 150 minutes to prepare. Everyone sat down at the table and enjoyed it or not but they all ate the same thing. Today's "home cooked meal" takes on average less than 30 minutes to prepared. In most cases at least two different entrées are served.  Is your company positioned to retail food sales success?
