Building a better pizza and bigger profits

There are 70,000 pizza restaurants in the U.S. and 93% of Americans eat a slice of pizza once a month with 350 slices of pizza being consumed per second, according to Statistic Brain. No matter how you slice it, pizza is a favorite food among Americans and offers huge potential for c-store foodservice programs.

Technomic’s Convenience Store Consumer MarketBrief™ Summer 2017 reports that previous barriers, like quality and freshness, to c-store food purchases and especially pizza have been eliminated in the past several years. For c-store operators looking to expand their pizza program price and market place communication regarding availability, quality and freshness will help expand trial and purchase among light or non-users.

C-store operators seeking ways to change the perception of their pizza and overall foodservice program start with the right equipment to deliver on consumer expectations of a fresh, quality product.

In a recent WelCast with Welbilt Chef Lawrence Parks, he explains how he worked with a c-store chain to find the right equipment to allow his customer to produce 1.5 million pizzas last year. Chef Parks helped determine the best equipment for his customer by understanding the operational goals, labor requirements and consumer trends to find the best possible equipment solution to the table and delivered a grand slam. Each pizza is made fresh, of exceptional quality and consistency and delivered on the customers expectation for speed of service thanks to the equipment and its innovative technology, with the potential for menu expansion even beyond pizza.
