Dashboard Dining: Grow Your Grab-and-Go 
Foodservice Track
Thursday, October 22 | 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM    Location: N262/N264 

Everyone is in a hurry these days, but your packaged food shouldn’t look like it was made that way. QSR competitors enjoy 65% of their traffic via drive-thru and 15% through take-out. The market for off-premise food consumption is not only huge, but absolutely relevant to the c-store business. Learn how marketing, merchandising and branding are just as important as the food that you sell. This session will address ready-to-eat, ready-to-heat, portability and packaging. Make “grab n’ go” into a “grab n’ GROW” endeavor!

What You Will Learn

  • Effective marketing ideas to promote the on-the-go offer
  • Advantages of QSR versus proprietary versus branded product assortments
  • Benefits of proper product packaging, logo usage and design
