THE OPPORTUNITY

Across all restaurant subsegments, diners are changing the way they eat away from home and operators have to constantly evolve to keep up with increasing expectations. Plant-based foods are rapidly appearing at quick service and fast casual restaurants and those operators are searching for ways to offer familiar flavors with unfamiliar proteins. Global flavors and customization are major purchase drivers as customers have become more adventurous. Clean label ingredients have been more important than ever as more mindful dining takes hold. We know that restaurant operators are always looking for ways to introduce scratch-made flavor without adding to prep time or labor costs and our authentic, high-quality Custom Culinary® bases, sauces, gravies and soups are the easiest way to Be True to the Food®.
