Think Outside the “Gift” Box With Sysco’s Holiday Toolkit for Restaurateurs
October 14 2020 - 8:00AM
Sysco Corporation (NYSE: SYY), the leading global foodservice
distribution company, announced today the addition of a Holiday
Toolkit to its Foodie Solutions platform. The Holiday Toolkit is
the latest in a series of carefully curated tools to help
foodservice operators respond quickly to shifting business
requirements and trends resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
This helpful resource offers innovative ideas that are simple to
execute, generating additional revenues and providing guests with
restaurant-quality solutions for easy gift-giving and holiday
meals. Some of the easy-to-execute ideas include:
- Unique takeout offerings, such as charcuterie and cheese boards
with wine pairings;
- Take-and-make meal kits paired with a virtual cooking
class;
- Cocktail kits; and
- Pies to-go.
“The 2020 holiday season will certainly look different than in
previous years,” said Brian Todd, Sysco’s senior vice president,
merchandising and marketing. “Our Holiday Toolkit offers business
solutions our customers need to drive new revenue streams, support
their operational profitability and deliver holiday cheer to their
guests.”
As the holiday season approaches, this most recent toolkit helps
foodservice operators who are adapting their businesses to
accommodate local social distancing guidelines, social gatherings,
and an increase in to-go orders without sacrificing the consistent,
high-quality products and service that guests have grown accustomed
to receiving.
In addition to the Holiday Toolkit, Sysco’s Foodie Solutions
resources include:
- Virtual Kitchens – Recommendations for serving
guests solely through online and phone orders without a brick and
mortar concept or dining room;
- Grab & Go Foods - A guide to offering
pre-made meals and signature dishes;
- Family Style Meal Kits – Solutions to help
guests save time and enjoy an at-home experience; and
- Patio Dining – Strategies to revamp the
outdoor dining experience for guests.
Sysco customers also receive exclusive value-added services
through Sysco’s iCARE partner program and Sysco Marketing
Concierge, which provide exclusive services and resources such as
menu services, QR codes and access to helpful webinars. More
information about Foodie Solutions can be found on the Sysco Foodie
website.
