U.S. Foodservice Helps Restaurants Grow With Innovative Trends and Menu Options
Distributor Provides Tips and Trends for Pork and Poultry
ROSEMONT, Ill., July 13 -- U.S. Foodservice, one of the nation's largest food distributors, is gearing up for the grilling season by providing restaurants with tips on how to make their grill and business sizzle. Restaurant operators can visit foodsight(TM)(http://www.usfoodsight.com) to learn new ways to incorporate pork and poultry into their menu through helpful articles and recipes, and by viewing videos of cooking demonstrations.
"Restaurant operators need to keep up with current trends to grow their business," said Pat Mulhern, president, Monarch Food Group, U.S. Foodservice. "The foodsight website provides foodservice professionals the information they need to maximize their menu potential, keep their menu fresh and entice new customers."
This quarter, foodsight is focusing on the hottest trends in pork and poultry. Restaurant operators can learn how to increase sales by incorporating popular trends like ethnic accents, chili peppers and fruit notes into their pork and poultry dishes. Foodsight also features information on how to spice up your dishes by:
-- Increasing the culture of your barbecue: While barbecue will always be
America's favorite flavor for pork and chicken--it has evolved into a
whole family of tastes. Attention has shifted to barbecue variations
from other cultures ranging from Caribbean/Latin flavors to Korean.
-- Incorporating small plates: Americans are moving away from "three
square meals" and toward more snacking, and we're seeing a
proliferation of bar and snack menus. Smaller-bite menus offer diners
what they want while bringing in additional between-meals revenue for
operators.
-- Re-thinking chicken dishes: As consumers expand their culinary
horizons to include bolder and more nuanced flavors, operators are
rethinking familiar chicken entree salads with smoky-hot chipotle,
piquant fruit notes or new Asian accents.
"Foodsight focuses on some of the most intuitive research in the food industry, and is based on our 150 years of experience helping our customers succeed," added Mulhern.
