Eating-In or Eating-Out Romano’s Macaroni Grill is Fresh Fast Fine Food

It has been well documented that Eating-In while Eating-Out has become a way of life according to Foodservice Solutions® Grocerant Guru® Steven Johnson who was the first to identify, quantify, and qualify this consumer migration pattern. 

John Gilbert, President & CEO of Macaroni Grill stated “Our Family Meals feature many of our guests’ favorite dishes at a per-person price that’s lower than most fast-food meals,” … “You get all the quality ingredients and signature recipes you expect from Mac Grill in a family-style setting, and you’re welcome to enjoy them in the restaurant or take them home.”

Gilbert understand the undercurrents driving consumer migration to grocerant niche Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared meals that are deemed ‘better for you’ as regular readers of this blog know as we have chronicled the success Romano’s Macaroni Grill has had with portable meals and today and tomorrow specials.

Romano’s Macaroni Grill ‘Family Meals’ menu items start at “under $6/person, and available for dine-in or to go”.  That is price extremely competitively which is a branded invitation that many consumer will accept according to our own Grocerant Guru®.
