projects previously listed. We couldn't imagine running
just one spot - we love the challenge and opportunities
for growth.
No quick out
For Josh Allen at Companion, he understands there are
more and more customers that used to bake their own
bread, but just can't anymore
" There is an opportunity for us to take on contract
baking. We have the ability to react quickly, " he explains.
" It is a very unique situation. There is no quick out. "
The current labor situation adds enormous stress to
the challenge. The food industry didn't pay extremely
well before, and the pool of people returning to the
industry is down, Allen explains.
" It is more important than ever now to use social media
as a huge reinforcement. We are reacting aggressively
through social media. And we are on a push to automate
more processes. "
For instance, Companion follows a sourdough preferment
system. " We are struggling to get mixers (people).
The issue is the volume of weight involved, " he shares.
" If we could automate some preferments, that would
help. (We are not there yet) But it is moving up higher
on the list. "
Product innovation is helping drive growth. Pizza has

certainly benefited, Allen says,
" We are producing a lot of pizza dough. We are not
seeing big growth in pastry. I think that is going to be
slow to return. If you spend a year at your house eating
breakfast, that is a hard habit to break. "
One of the hardest parts is to see new technology (at
trade shows), Allen shares.
" We are missing that. It is difficult to make long-term
plans, " he points out. " We need to start seeing new
pieces of equipment, and for the people in baking to
see the products we need. "
Looking ahead, consumers are migrating to more
online shopping, and the last thing the industry needs
right now, Allen says, is more stress.
Portability is becoming a big thing at every level.
Sandwiches are in higher demand. Deli sized sliced
breads. Bun sales are up.
" The demand is there for food to be able to travel, "
Allen says.
Future of omnichannel
" The puck is headed toward an omnichannel future, "
exclaims Jim Hertel, senior vice president of client development
- analytics, Inmar Intelligence, speaking at the
Food Institute webinar on the Future of Food Retailing
and the Accelerated Digital Age,
