Reimagining Your Operation Amidst The Pandemic

May 6, 2021

COVID-19 has had a tremendous impact on the restaurant and foodservice industry. The Franchise Times recently hosted a webinar titled, “Rethinking, Reimagining, and Reopening Your Restaurant”. There are several useful tips that the panelists highlighted to help keep operations running.

Outdoor Seating: Many restaurants never had outdoor seating pre-pandemic, so they are having to be creative about patios. Many restaurants are resulting to setting up tables in parking lots to maintain social distancing. This is a way to allow dine-in customers while keeping everyone as safe as possible.

Digitization: QR codes for customers to scan when picking up their food in parking spaces have become popular and also increases labor efficiency. Contactless payment systems are also a good idea, even allowing customers to leave gratuity on the website or on the phone.

Single-use Menus: Although not the most environmentally friendly, operations are resulting to menus they can discard after a customer uses it. However, some restaurants are laminating their paper menus to make it easy to sanitize and reuse.

Experts expect that the traditional lending market will be slow for a while, but if restaurants are being innovative and creative in how they operate, it will be easier for them to succeed in the long run.

You’ll also need some additional ingredients for the sauce and vegetables, including: shiitake mushrooms, flat-leaf parsley, and potatoes.

Tips for Restaurants to Thrive Through a Chaotic Winter

December 4, 2020

Are you running a restaurant during this unprecedented winter? Here are the steps your restaurant can take to retain existing customers, make new ones, and provide the best dining experience for every guest.

Keep Customers Warm - There’s nothing worse than a cold meal on a cold day. You can change that by adding heaters and other fixtures to warm up your restaurant. Heating is significant if your restaurant involves outdoor dining. Check your state and city regulations to use heaters and consult any necessary manufacturers to provide the best dining experience possible.

Support Proper Airflow - In the 2020-2021 winter season, your restaurant is going to need fantastic airflow. To disperse and prevent COVID 19 from increasing, you’ll need open airflow. This can get tricky when it’s cold outside, but you can set up indoor and outdoor heaters when necessary. If you have a robust HVAC system, you’ll be well on your way to creating a safe, enjoyable winter environment.

Prepare to Serve Hot Foods Outside - Now, more than ever, your restaurant will need to serve warm foods during the winter. Since outdoor seating will likely be enforced in more population-dense cities, you’ll need to tweak your menu. Add in more menu items that can be served warm or hot for your guest’s enjoyment. Take the possibility of serving temperature specific food in relaxed environments into consideration.

Expect Continued Reliance on Delivery Services - Right at the top of the list of strategies to increase your sales is offering a premium delivery service during the pandemic. Even if your restaurant uses Uber, Doordash, or other external delivery services, you can still add an extra touch of magic for your guests. A few extra goodies or a personal touch is always appreciated during troubled times.

Introduce Tasty Holiday Specials - It’s time to bring out the holiday dishes for your guests. Get creative and introduce exciting, festive options to the menu. Winter is all about the holiday season specials. Make sure your menu has lots of them.

It has never been more important to offer your customers a special dining experience, and THS Foodservice is here to help. Whether it is frozen, refrigerated, dry, or non-food products, we are the local supplier committed to serving all your foodservice needs.

Here are some results of eating a mainly plant-based, nutrient-dense, fiber-rich diet:

It lowers high blood pressure or hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia

It boosts your immune system, making it stronger and more effective against sickness and disease

Lower incidents of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes

Lower BMI, body fat

Sustainable weight management

Reduced obesity inflammatory markers

Lowers risk of some cancers (especially colorectal)

Reversal of Type 2 Diabetes

According to The Beet, the number of Americans eating plant-based diets has exceeded 9.7 million. These people don’t necessarily label themselves as vegans or vegetarians but are committed to plant-based eating one-the-less. One study has revealed that the wave of interest and enthusiasm in the diet began at the Pacific and has worked its way across America from left to right.

Pumpkin muffins can be a great treat to offer because it is acceptable to eat any time of day. The same goes for fresh pumpkin bread — people enjoy it with their morning coffee or an afternoon snack.

Online Ordering and Delivery Jump to 39% of Total Sales During Pandemic

October 23, 2020

In response to consumer demand during the pandemic, over 70% of franchisees have enhanced delivery and digital ordering. Although most already had digital ordering and delivery before 2020, they now account for a much larger percentage of sales than before.

Businesses have invested a tremendous amount of time, money, and creativity in delivery and mobile ordering, but not all restaurants have adapted to off-premise sales to the same degree. The shift to off-premise sales should be long lasting and will likely become a permanent aspect of many business models. COVID-19 transformed payment offerings such as contactless, mobile and online payments from "nice to haves" to "must haves".

Some companies have chosen to limit their scope of operations, changing their operation hours and trimming their menus. The menu must be amendable to delivery and takeout, which can be difficult for some restaurants. Drive-thru options are also in demand, with many operations adding drive-thru capabilities.

It is clear that people still want to go out and be social, and people are tired of cooking at home. However, businesses must be creative in order to survive during this difficult time. THS Foodservice is the local supplier that understands what you need to succeed. You can always count on THS for premium quality, competitively priced products, and unparalleled customer service.

Tips on Offering Healthy Breakfast Items!

October 16, 2020

Breakfast is one of the most important aspects of our daily life. A nutritious, well-balanced breakfast can give you energy and prevent you from eating too much during the rest of the day. Offering healthy breakfast options in your operation can be the key to great success. THS Foodservice is happy to provide the necessary ingredients listed below to make wonderful creations that your customers will enjoy!

Eggs - Eggs help increase the feeling of fullness, reduces calorie intake at the next meal, and helps maintain healthy blood sugar and insulin levels. Egg yolks contain lutein and zeaxanthin, which are antioxidants that help prevent eye disorders like cataracts and macular degeneration. Eggs are also incredibly versatile, and can be prepared in several ways.

Greek Yogurt - Greek yogurt is incredibly satisfying: it is creamy, delicious, and nourishing. It is highly concentrated in protein, which helps reduce feelings of hunger and increases your metabolic rate. Certain types of Greek yogurt are good sources of probiotics, which can help your gut stay healthy. It can easily be topped with fresh fruit and granola for a parfait, or added to a smoothie for a creamy texture.

Nuts - Nuts can be a great addition to your breakfast because they're filling and help prevent weight gain. Even though they can be high in calories, your body does not absorb all of the fat in them. All types of nuts are high in magnesium and potassium, and can also be beneficial for people with diabetes. Nuts can be added to all types of breakfasts, whether that be on oatmeal, yogurt, or even as a nut butter on bread.

These are just a few of the many great ingredients you should be using for items on your menu. Help your customers start their day off right by fueling their body with healthy and nutrient-dense foods. Contact THS Foodservice today to see how we can help supply your foodservice needs!

Best Employment Practices Amidst the Pandemic

October 9, 2020

The pandemic has changed the way that everyone does business. Being creative and innovative is the key to standing out and surviving. Employees are the bread and butter of a company, so how you attract and retain them is incredibly important.

Getting Employees Back to Work: Restaurants need to do everything to keep their staff safe and healthy. The staff needs to be aware of the risks when socializing with others and the protocols to follow regarding being sick or exposed. Employees should have their temperatures checked regularly before work if possible. Be prepared by over-scheduling or have on-call slots for shifts in case there are walk outs or absences.

Training: Plan on spending a couple shifts with your staff to review procedures. Review how curbside pickup and delivery will work if this applies to your operation. Lay out a plan and try to enforce it by sending a consistent message to all staff. Review information on face coverings and proper hand washing techniques.

Reemployment: Some employees may not come back due to child care issues, are at high-risk, or are caring for an at-risk loved one. Have a plan to your hiring process that is safe and will ensure that you will get high quality employees.

During this time, it is important to pay attention to the changes and adapt to meet them. If you do this, your operation will begin to thrive and move in the right direction again.

How to Properly Disinfect Your Operation

September 18, 2020

The current pandemic has placed proper sanitation center stage. Food safety is a top issue for your customers and providing a clean, sanitized environment must be a primary focus everyday.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggests that bleach is capable of killing dangerous bacteria (E-Coli, Salmonella, Streptococcus), as well as viruses like the common cold, flu and COVID 19, which means it is an excellent alternative for disinfecting.

Soap and water should be used to clean surfaces routinely, and adding bleach is suggested if appropriate for the surface. When using bleach, use these steps to safely disinfect surfaces:

Wear disposable gloves

Check to ensure the product is not past its expiration date

Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper application and ventilation

Never mix household bleach with ammonia or any other cleaner

5 Strategies for Operations to Succeed in the New Normal

September 10, 2020

As the pandemic continues, businesses have been reopening, and customer preferences and habits have changed significantly. There are several strategies that will help operations thrive during this time.

1. Be resourceful and think outside the box: Restaurants should try to utilize outdoor space by transforming parking lots into dining areas. This allows them to be properly distanced to ensure proper safety regulations. Because indoor dining is unavailable in many places and revenue is lower than normal, restaurants need to take advantage of every sales channel available. Many operators have added takeout, third-party delivery, ordering on their websites, and even mobile ordering on-site.

2. Focus on convenience, for your customers and your staff: Convenience has become incredibly important, and restaurants should have well placed signage and instructions with accessible menus, whether that be physical or digital. Show guests how to use a QR code or mobile ordering, making it as simple as possible. Staff should also have an easy system with taking and managing orders.

3. Use the right technology: Your platform should support all of your sales channels easily, allowing you to add new ones if necessary. The devices should also be easy to move and repurposed. This flexibility will help keep things running smoothly in your operation.

4. Experiment to determine what approach works best for your business: Having the right model and ordering concept will help your operation stand out. Find creative ways to present QR code signage and change your menu design. To boost sales, offer retail items and merchandise. Try to find out what works and what doesn't for your business.

5. Optimize everything: With many new sales channels and models, try to decide what is driving success. It helps give you insights on what needs improvement and what is excelling.

Knowing answers to these questions will allow you to have the greatest impact on your business. Operations that continuously strive to make their business better will succeed in the market, whatever it may bring.

It is a food truck staple, a diner classic, and a best-seller at an endless number of restaurants.

People may have the option of getting fried chicken at popular fast food chains, but nothing is better than a sandwich with fresh and high-quality ingredients from a local restaurant. There are many different ways to prepare this sandwich. It comes with contrasts in temperature -- in most cases, hot chicken with some type of cool sauce, whether that be a mayo or spicy aioli.

Keep Up with Consumer Cravings!

August 27, 2020

There are various needs that customers are wanting when eating from restaurants. Over the past few years, diners have gravitated towards spicier flavors, easy add-on options, and intriguing flavors. Being accommodating to the consumer is vital to helping your operation succeed.

Convenient, easy-add options: More than half of consumers that were surveyed by Technomic said that adding flavor to their food appeals to them. This can be via dips, condiments, or marinades. As everyone's lives get busier, offering customization in your operation can help you stand out from competitors. Because consumers are turning to takeout and delivery more often, portable, single-serve condiments make it easy to offer the flavors that customers are looking for.

Interesting flavors make for an intriguing menu: Consumers are more likely to order a particular dish if it comes with a sauce that is unique, too. Tabasco offers different flavors of heat, depending on what the dish is. From a guava and pineapple hot sauce for something like macaroni and cheese, to a sriracha sauce for a "breakfast pizza" with bacon, sausage, cheddar, and jalapeños.

Adding sauces and flavors to dishes will increase your customer satisfaction and sales. Restaurants do not need to revamp their entire menu to cater to this need -- just a few added side condiments are all you need! Luckily, THS Foodservice can help add delicious flavor to the menu. Contact us today to see how we can help your operation!
