Each of these service caters to your individual community offering a mix and match of local restaurants with national chains reinforcing you familiarity with your neighborhood favorites and enticing you to buy according to Foodservice Solutions® Grocerant Guru® Steven Johnson

Restaurant industry research icon and NPD’s restaurant industry analyst Bonnie Riggs stated ““Consumers want the ‘dining out’ experience of quality food, but they’re saving money and time by having food delivered to their homes,”… “Similar to the consumer value online direct-to-door shopping fulfills, there is the appeal of being in the comfort of their own homes, and not having to deal with the ‘hassle’ of the outside world.”

Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared food that can be delivered adds incremental value to the consumer our Grocerant Guru® insist.  Regular readers of this blog know that the ability to mix and match meal bundling is a key drive of grocerant niche success.  Meal Delivery services are seeing new entrants all around the country.  The field may seem crowded but the ability to be Eating-Out while Eating-In continues to drive retail sales.  Does your grocery store deliver meals?
