Branded Vs. Proprietary Foodservice

  The   debate   has gone on for many years-should you  implement  an existing   branded  foodservice   program   or are you better off   developing   your unique proprietary brand? The answer to both is YES! There is no right or wrong answer as both have their pros and cons. Branded food service offers the quickest path to implementation since production processes and consumer   recognition   have already been established. Proprietary brands, on the other hand, usually take longer to   implement   but can be more profitable and almost   impossible  for your competition to mimic. Since branded and  proprietary  foodservice each presents their opportunities as well as challenges, below is a helpful overview to help you  determine  which type of food service  program  is best for you and your store operation. Branded Foodservice Proprietary Foodservice AdvantagesProduct Recognition. A ramp-up of consumer awareness of the  brand  is minimal. Confidence. Trust is already  established  for

Developing A Winning Foodservice Strategy

   In the   convenience   store   marketplace , margins continue to tighten on core products such as candy, snacks, and tobacco. Prudent operators are  attempting   to stem the tide by introducing food service items into their stores. Most facilities provide plenty of customer traffic and space within the store to enable modifications for introducing a foodservice   operation . While the desire to  incorporate  food service is at the forefront, operators need to address every aspect of the   implementation . With the appropriate modifications to their  operating  systems and procedures, convenience store owners can slowly unveil a foodservice offering. Many items need to be addressed including a concerted effort in marketing outside the store to attract new customers,  capitalizing  on improved merchandising and signage, and developing better  metrics  and Key  Performance  Indicators (KPIs). Only through a holistic approach, can the stores be  poised  for a giant leap forward to impro

The Internet Job Posting

   How To Write A Successful Internet Job Posting? The key to a  successful  Internet job posting is first  recognizing  that it is not a print classified  advertisement.  An  Internet  job posting is interactive and requires a good understanding of interactive marketing. One of the greatest challenges contractors face when  posting  jobs online, is recognizing that they must change their traditional job posting habits. An online job  posting  will not do well if  written  like a print classified ad. It must be thought of more like an interactive  marketing  campaign for the entire firm. The Marketing Department rather than the HR  Department  should write it. Update the Company Web Site The company website is rapidly becoming the first point of contact for most job seekers or prospective clients.  Contractors  should update their  corporate  website so that it provides a  professional  and interactive presentation of the firm, its goals, key personnel, corporate culture, top achieveme

Challenges in Foodservice Management and Foodservice Training

  Experts in the   foodservice   industry agree: the single biggest   challenge  in foodservice management continues to be the availability of quality trained staff and management. Even in this current strained economic environment, companies continue to invest significant sums of money to bring people into the organization and train them to the company's   methodologies . A company also i nculcates  new hires into the culture of the organization. Employees with quality  food  service training are valuable and most companies focus on hiring these employees because they will help the company grow and succeed. The quality of training, as well as the attitude of the prospective employee, are both important to a  company  when the company decides who it will hire. The better a  company  is at finding people, the better the  organization  performs, and the better the organization serves the customer's needs. Serving the customer's needs is the universal goal for all companies. B

The First Steps to Foodservice in Your Convenience Store

   In today's tough   economy , the fight is on for   convenience   store customers. While some tried-and-true c-store product categories have taken a hit in the past few years, one has continued to grow: food service. Starting a food service program in your   convenience   store requires attention to detail in store-operation areas that may be new to you. Food   preparation   on-site requires specific safety,   operational   management, and cost control measures--and in most cases, greater customer service. By mastering   foodservice   basics, your new foodservice program has the best   opportunity   for success. To capture "share-of-stomach," your new foodservice  program  should: draw new customers as well as repeat customers to your c-store; enhance your profit margins; and create a point of differentiation between your c-store and your  competitors . C-stores need to consider the following foodservice basics before embarking on any foodservice program: Role of Foodse
