New spring lineup features 26 new products and
services to help restaurants innovate their offerings for
millennials
US Foods today unveiled Spring Scoop™ 2017 (Spring Scoop) under
the banner "What Millennials Crave," featuring a lineup of 26 new
products designed to help restaurant customers attract more
millennial diners. Spring Scoop features new menu design
capabilities and a wide array of products that address several
trends and product attributes important to millennials, including:
global cuisine, sustainability and portability.
“Millennials spend more on dining out than any other
demographic, so it’s essential for restaurateurs to understand
their preferences and shape their menus accordingly,” said Stacie
Sopinka, vice president of product development and innovation, US
Foods. “Our product development team – made up largely of
millennials – dove deep into dining trends and came up with a
diverse new set of products and services that will help our
customers grow sales with this critical cohort while also saving
time and money.”
Exploring Through Global Cuisine
Nearly half of millennial diners want more globally inspired
cuisine1 and are looking to explore new foods that feature
authentic ingredients and international flavors. With the Spring
Scoop, US Foods is providing operators with unique product
offerings that help them meet this growing demand for more
international fare.
Spring Scoop features traditional ethnic foods, such as Pacific
Jade® Indian Curry and Thai Red Curry Sauce Starters, which are
rich in flavor, versatile and work perfectly as a sauce, soup or
marinade. Spring Scoop also features Chef’s Line® All Natural
Chicken Shawarma for restaurateurs looking to add Mediterranean
flavor to their menu.
Diners Want the Real Deal
More and more, millennials are seeking out dishes with
sustainably sourced ingredients. In fact, 65 percent enjoy foods
that are natural or organic.2 As restaurants look to cater to this
trend, Scoop has developed high-quality products that are both
responsibly prepared and satisfy the taste buds.
Spring Scoop features several new sustainable product offerings,
including Chef’s Line All Natural Fire Grilled Chicken Breast and
White and Dark Turkey Burgers – simple protein dishes that chefs
can customize to align with their own styles and other offerings.
Both deliver the perfect blend of tender and juicy, but are also
vegetarian-fed and raised without antibiotics.
Eating On the Go
With 70 percent of millennials purchasing grab-and-go
sandwiches3, restaurants have a tremendous opportunity to grow
their sales by adding portable options to their menus.
Spring Scoop features a variety of meals that are perfect for
the mobile millennial consumer, including fixings for the perfect
sandwich with its Chef’s Line Aged Cheddar and Onion Bialys and
Beef & Truffle Patties from renowned butcher Pat LaFrieda. For
diners looking to eat something sweet on the go, Devonshire® Black
Velvet Cookie is a delicious dessert on its own or filled with the
Glenview Farms® Tahitian Vanilla Ice Cream Puck.
US Foods Menu – New Menu Design Capabilities
In addition to these new product offerings, Spring Scoop
features US Foods Menu, a menu design offering that helps
restaurateurs design top-quality menus that highlight key dishes
and engage diners. The process is fast, efficient and
cost-effective. Learn more about US Foods Menu at
