Increase Foodservice Profits with Tasteful In-store Branded Merchandising

Taking advantage of the front-of-the-house merchandising power of national brands with strong consumer loyalty can help drive the following positive outcomes for your restaurant, convenience store, or retail food operation:

• Prompt impulse sales of higher margin items
• Up-sell products in the snack, beverage, appetizer, and dessert categories
• Promote exciting new offerings that sell without discounting
• Introduce “grab-and-go” items that guests can take home or back to the office
• Increase the overall guest check average

Each business owner will ultimately decide which national brands reflect the appropriate quality and value proposition of their establishment. The “tools of the trade” in front-of-the-house merchandising may include branded counter displays, tabletop and table tent promotions, branded bakery and dessert cases, high-impact food photography in the form of posters or counter cards, and various branded checkout, wait staff, and server promotional tools.

Some national brand manufacturers may provide access to a wide variety of powerful merchandising tools simply by agreeing to use the brand in the establishment.
