Increase Fresh Department Sales with Food Bars

Food bars are a way to stand out from your competition and satisfy shopper’s who are looking for quick, convenient, fresh and tasty meal options.  An article in the February/March 2012 issue of Deli Business titled “Stand Out From the Crowd” by Lauren Katims, highlights these facts in more detail. 
Food bars in your stores help to increase the amount of impulsive purchases made in your fresh departments, which helps to boost your bottom line.  Additionally, customers are dining in grocer’s in-store restaurants/cafes so ensuring that your food bars offer a variety of fresh foods at the right time is important when trying to maximize how much customers spend.  
ADC’s Fresh Combination Manager software module allows food retailers to track the quantities of customer-selectable portions on a food plate, salad bar, floral bouquet or flavor-level for doughnut/bagel/muffin bags using any touch screen browser. 
Additionally, with ADC’s Perishable Production Planning module, you are able to provide system-generated production plans as simple “to-do” lists for in-store team members advising how much of each product to prepare to meet expected sales while minimizing the amount of wastage at the end of the day.  This allows you to further reduce shrink and continue to increase our fresh sales.
