RETAIL FOODSERVICE
Something different
With supermarket fresh and prepared foods now in direct competition
with restaurants, consumers have come to expect evolving menus and
offerings from their local stores.
Wade Hansen, principal with Technomic, told attendees of the National
Restaurant Association's Foodservice @ Retail Summit last month that
while today's retail foodservice is a wide category with varying levels
of operation, there is room for more variety. According to Technomic
data, 48 percent of shoppers immediately think of rotisserie chicken
when they're asked about supermarket prepared foods.
The other high-ranking answers are similarly generic: fried chicken,
sandwiches, potato salad, salad bars.
But when asked where they want to see more variety, the evolving
palate of today's consumer comes into play: Mexican foods, Asian
dishes, Medterranean foods, fish, chicken wings. Indian foods just
missed the list.
"As much as we've changed, old favorites still pop in the minds of
consumers," Hansen says. "But, where do they want more variety?
They expect spiciness and seasonings and authenticity. They want to
know if the tortillas are made in-house."
Companies like Kowalski's and Del Real Foods are on the forefront of
this trend and we feature both in this month's issue.
Kowalski's serves ready-to-eat dishes like Hawaiian poke, Kalbi salmon
and Hawaiian chicken sandwiches while offering a station where
consumers can create their own pasta meal.
Del Real uses labor-intensive methods to take its authentic Mexican
foods to supermarkets and restaurants nationwide.
As the push for real foods with authentic flavors grows, the expectation
that consumers can find them in their favorite supermarket's perimeter
grows along with it.
