Within retail foodservice differentiation does not mean different it means familiar, but with a twist.



Fresh prepared ready-2-eat and heat-N-eat food is empowering, sales, customers and success in every sector of retail including non-traditional food companies the ilk of: Walgreens, Rite Aid, Sears, Target, Amazon, 7 Eleven and Walgreens.
This blog focus is on the grocerant ready-2-eat and heat-N-eat fresh prepared food sectors of the foodservice industry.  The ability to bundle Mix and Match meal components for a meal is empowering consumer choice.  In addition the focus is on the role of food products within the mix and match component set.
Fresh prepared, ready-2-eat and heat-N-eat food is driving sales and profits in the restaurant, grocery and convenience store sectors. Most interesting is the strength of motivation and empowerment that customer are developing for this sector.
