You can’t ever really go wrong offering your guests these seasonal concoctions, and you can offer them on the kid’s menu AND at the bar. Like all holiday treats and flavors, these are items you can offer for a limited time, and something you can use to test and innovate. Why are LTO’s so effective?

you win TAILS,

Everyone knows the best part about gameday is tailgating. Whether you’ve got tickets to the stadium and you’re grilling burgers in the parking lot or kicked back and watching on the big screen, great food and drink are almost as essential as the ball and field. How can your establishment tap into this beloved tradition for the big game? By not only catering to those bellying up to your bar but to those headed to the game as well. Explore these quality tips to get sports fans pre-gaming with you.

OFF-PREMISE PRE-MADE For those who want to focus on the fun and not the meal prep, put together a package that fans can buy from you ahead of time and heat up at the game. Your own packs of pre-cooked seasoned brats, dogs, or burgers will entice those who want to be the grill master but not necessarily a sous chef. Offer your own house-made relishes and condiments, fresh-baked buns, and other accoutrements, so the only stop they need to make to fill up their cooler is with you.

PARTY FAMILY-STYLE For the groups who don’t want to haul a grill or take time to cook at home and just want to chow down — offer familystyle to-go meals that can be pre-ordered online to serve groups anywhere from 5 people to 20 (or whatever your kitchen allows!). Think easy handhelds and

DRIVING DOOR SWINGS: Not everyone wants to go to the game — a lot of people are happy as can be seated at their favorite table or barstool cheering at the big screen.

shareables like baskets of wings, trays of sliders, or chicken fingers. Include homemade dips and sauces and offer some options for sides to choose from besides fries, which could get soggy on the way: tortilla chips and guac, pasta salad, baked beans, even corn on the cob are all great tailgate options.

B. Y. O. BAR If your place sells tap beer, consider a growler (or crowler!) fill as an easy add-on to the meal package. Consider batched cocktails to go, too, as long as it’s legal in your area. Many states introduced bills allowing cocktails to-go as part of COVID relief. They cannot be made until someone places an order, so take pre-orders online and serve accordingly in sealed, marked containers. Make your own signature Bloody Mary mix for example to sell alongside the spirit of choice and an array of packaged garnishes. Or make an iced tea lemonade concoction for a perfect early fall sipper.

SCORE WITH BRANDING Take advantage of all of this offpremise exposure by including branded servingware with your meal kits and to-go orders. Stickered cups, printed napkins, and paper plates all sporting your logo will make sure everyone at the tailgate knows where all the good stuff came from.

Get creative with branding while thinking of tailgate season too — what can you include in your kits that would be fun for the party besides just eats? Printed can koozies or beads with home team colors and your logo as an emblem would be an extra special touch that could be included as an upgraded package.

WHOSE HOUSE? IN-HOUSE! Not everyone wants to go to the game — a lot of people are happy as can be seated at their favorite table or barstool cheering at the big screen. Entice fans with their own “sports cave” set up at a designated area of your establishment, like a patio or side room. Set up a jumbo screen and offer limited seating and specials throughout gameday. One idea is to have fans buy a ticket that gets them all-access to seating and a buffet of game food like nachos, meatballs, and wings bar. Designate drink specials as well: buckets of beer for a group, freebies when the home team scores, or a pitcher and pizza deal. Also, sports-centric LTOs are a great idea to rotate throughout the menu during the whole season. Come up with creative specials like serving up traditional food items from each team’s home state. Packers vs. Bears? Put fried cheese curds and Chicago-style hot dogs on the menu (no ketchup, please!)

A CELEBRATION OF ITALY’S FINEST Piancone® Epicureo is Performance Foodservice’s exclusive chef-centric epicurean brand of carefully selected products measured to the highest gastronomic standards. Products that bear the Piancone® Epicureo brand name carry an assurance they are carefully selected and produced to the highest standards of superior and craftsmanship.

PIANCONE® EPICUREO FROZEN FRESHLY PREPARED FILLED PASTA Performance Foodservice proudly presents Piancone® Epicureo Frozen Freshly Prepared Pasta that is proudly-manufactured in the USA with old-world Italian expertise and skill. Piancone® Epicureo Frozen Freshly Prepared Pasta features a beautifully thin egg pasta that is filled to the brink with glorious, delicious clean label ingredients with a hefty ratio of filling to pasta. The pasta fillings are both upscale and approachable with ingredients such as roasted porcini mushrooms, braised short ribs, whole milk ricotta, pecorino cheese, sweet English peas, sweet Italian sausage, and North Atlantic Maine lobster. Piancone® Epicureo Frozen Freshly Prepared Pasta yields 30-50% more portions per case since they absorb water and increases in weight when prepared, unlike precooked pasta products that already contain water weight. The manufacturing process results in a double-bellied or “double-stuffed” ravioli, where each piece consists of about 80% filling and 20% pasta. Lobster Ravioli*

THE GREAT

pumpkin

It’s time to fall in love with the taste of pumpkin all over again. Highlight your seasonal offerings with this traditional, favorite comfort food — now being paired with enticing flavor combinations. Whether served as a slice of delicious pie, part of a dessert flight with delectable pairings, or blended into beverage offerings, pumpkin is a trendsetter that guests can’t wait to pick. It’s time to rethink pumpkin.

ORANGE IS THE NEW SNACK American consumers of all ages are loving pumpkin, as fall’s favorite comfort food is showing up on more menus than ever. According to research1, pumpkin pie is the one of the fastest-growing year-round pie flavors, with at least 33% growth over the last four years. And of the consumers who have tried pumpkin recently, almost three quarters of them like or love it2. In fact3, two out of five diners want pumpkin spice on menus year-round.

CLEAN PLATE In addition to craving comfort food, many consumers are focusing more on

products made using cleaner ingredients. And pumpkin is a perfect fit for guests seeking cleaner labels. Consumers tend to believe that clean food tastes better, and research shows that almost 50% of consumers prefer clean labels to the alternative. A number of products on the market fit this criterion, including Chef Pierre® pumpkin pies. They are made without artificial flavors, artificial colors, and no high fructose corn syrup — just what the discerning diner ordered.

EASY AS PIE Pie experts also understand labor and cost challenges in the industry. That’s why brands are crafting pies to serve a restaurant’s needs and help foster creativity. Pre-baked pies save time and labor, and pre-sliced pies come in portion-control slices to reduce waste with 100% yield. Sweet Encore®, for example, offers ready-to-serve pumpkin cheesecake slices, with whipped cream, caramel, and cinnamon to really bring out the pumpkin slice flavors.

SAVING TIME AND MONEY: Pre-baked pies save time and labor, and pre-sliced pies come in portion-control slices to reduce waste with 100% yield. “baked fresh in house.” And unsliced pies give restaurants customizable options for takeout and holiday specials. A recent study found that an unbaked pumpkin pie could generate nearly 70% in profit margin per serving.

CREATIVE PUMPKIN EATER Pumpkin happens to now come in more tempting forms and flavors than ever. Consider fun and playful dessert ideas like “deconstructing” pie and serving layers in a bowl. Enticing “piecuterie” boards with pumpkin slices and pairings such as brulé, citrus cream, or ginger pecan streusel should make some noise on social media. And you can’t go wrong with pumpkin spice hot toddys or a pumpkin pie milkshake, blended with ice cream, pumpkin spice flavorings, and pie crust crumbles. When it comes to creative pumpkin recipe ideations, the possibilities are pie in the sky high! 1 NPD SupplyTrack, December 2021 2 Datassential Flavor Keynote, 2021 3 Morning Consult, 2021
