Regular readers of this blog know just
how Casey’s General Stores has been
expanding fresh food fast and growing both top line sales and bottom line profits.
Today, fresh pizza sales represent a full 20 percent of the $9 billion-plus
retailer’s $1.1 billion foodservice business.
Grocerant niche Ready-2-Eat and
Heat-N-Eat fresh food drives sales its that simple according to Steven Johnson,
Grocerant Guru®
at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice
Solutions®. In order to continue expanding sales of Pizza
and more Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh food Casey’s needed an app that befit
the needs of its 2,000-plus-store chain serving almost 20 million pizzas, burgers,
sandwiches and other Mix & Match items.
So, Art Sebastian, vice president of
digital, who joined Casey’s 19 months ago is going to leverage technology to
drive a native mobile app that facilitates ordering and delivery. He will be revamping the customer relationship
management (CRM) and marketing automation capabilities and launched the chain’s first digital loyalty program,
Casey’s Rewards.
Customer-facing experiences are fully
integrated with its kitchen order management system to create a frictionless
experience for both customers and in-store teams.
Sebastian stated, “We developed the best
technology and architected the best tech stack for the modern era for a truly
seamless experience,”. “We wanted to be relevant and contemporary to customers
moving forward, making a unique value proposition and putting guests at the
center of decision making.”
Note: Sebastian said digital ordering has
increased “significantly.” While he would not divulge numbers, he believes that
“in very short order,” half of Casey’s pies will be ordered digitally. How are
