INTRODUCTION

We are delighted to bring BEEFing up your profits – Volume 4 to you. This volume will add 50 new value-added beef meals to your repertoire. Enhancing the value of and increasing the use of underrated beef cuts (that don’t typically sell as readily as other cuts) has been a focus in the development of many of these ideas. Each recipe idea is designed to improve your overall profitability while supplying more options for your customers. Our new beef dishes are based on consumer insights and needs. Our latest research shows Australians are staying in, with more than 7 out of 10 meals prepared and cooked at home. We know too that meal time decisions are driven by convenience and taste, as well as nutritional value over price tag. These meals are geared to give consumers just what they want. Mid-week meals, meals for kids, even formal entertaining is covered. They’re all a great fit for today’s busy lifestyles. We hope these ideas are a good starting point for you, we’ve designed them to be easy to prepare and easy to adapt to suit your customer’s needs. You’ll find each idea has notes on retail

presentation and opportunities for additional promotion with sauces or easy accompaniments. Use them as your guide to display and promote each value-added meal. We are excited about the continuing success of the BEEFing up your profits series and its value-added beef meals. We hope this issue like previous editions becomes an invaluable resource for you. Best regards,

At MLA we believe retail butchers are ambassadors for the red meat industry, and that’s why we’ve developed the Red Meat Networking Club (RMNC). The RMNC is designed to help butchers increase professionalism, productivity and profitability, as well as raise the bar in terms of innovation, quality and best practice within their shops. Members are encouraged to network and share product, merchandising, and value-adding ideas with each other. I encourage you to make most out of the opportunities available through the Red Meat Networking Club, it offers tremendous potential.

Our value-added beef ideas Once you’ve got a good feel for your customers needs you’ll find it easy to choose from the value-added beef selections within this book. Mid-week meals, meals for kids, even formal entertaining is covered. Each idea has notes on retail presentation and opportunities for additional promotion with sauces or accompaniments. Use them as your guide to display and promote each.

MLA has conducted research on value-added products under their ‘Creative Butcher’ program and found that as the range of value-added products increases, the turnover and profitability of the store increases exponentially.

How to showcase your value-added beef meals ■ Make sure there’s no clutter on the cabinet and that the glass is regularly cleaned inside and out (cleaning the inside when meat is out of the cabinet). ■ Start out with a small selection of meal ideas, see how each is received and build supply from demand. ■ Work out a roster of meals so different meals appear every day. ■ Try to keep the offerings in the same space in the cabinet the majority of the time. ■ Make sure your meat department customer service team is ready to provide hints, tips and cooking instructions with the value-added meals. Ensure they know what ingredients are used, so they can let customers know the meals are made with fresh ingredients.

Anticipate what your customers need ■ If your area has a lot of school-age children, customers will like kid friendly meal offerings like meatballs, beef burger and stir-fry strips. ■ Consider our Last Night’s Dinner research, the findings suggest what to cook on certain nights of the week reflects traditional eating patterns. Try offering roasts for the weekends and stir-fries or steaks on weeknights. ■ Highlight not only the ease, convenience and taste of the meals but the nutritional value too. ■ Often 4-6pm can be busiest, when customers come in looking for a quick, easy meal to take home for the

Talk to your customers ■ Make a suggestion of what you think they would like to try. ■ Suggest ways the meals can be served. ■ Use the consumer how to cook instruction cards that are available for all BEEFing up your profits products. ■ Point out if a value-added meal is cost effective over other choices.

Give customers the correct advice ■ Advise customer on correct storage and cooking times and methods if required. ■ Make sure your team knows this information as well!

Add-on sales by: ■ Running promotions around a popular meal, for example, buy a beef roast to go in the draw for a food hamper. ■ Set up working relationships with the greengrocer, baker and independent bottle shop. Bounce ideas off each other as to how you can sell meal solutions to your customers. For example, place a bag of chopped stirfry vegetables with beef strips and oyster sauce in the counter as a meal solution for your customers.

to help maximise purchases. The bottom line is POS can help increase your sales, so why not make use of it!

How to use POS effectively ■ Point-of-sale material is only effective if it’s on display (and looking its best). It needs to be displayed well (hung properly, not dog-eared or faded). ■ Make it appropriate. Make sure material is relevant to the season and time of year (i.e. Spring, Winter, Easter or Christmas, even Valentine’s Day and Mothers Day) and ties in with current MLA campaign. ■ Make it stand out, place it in a prominent position. ■ POS also needs to be changed regularly to avoid it fading into the background. ■ Take advantage of any additional POS like recipe leaflets, free magazines ect. And don’t leave these lying around (flat down on the counter). If you disregard them, your customers will too.

Follow these simple food safety rules to avoid cross contamination ■ Store and handle separately for both chilled meat and ready-to-cook products. ■ Take the value-added product out of the chiller and ensure that any handling of it takes place in a completely different area to the place where chilled/fresh meat is handled. ■ Use clean equipment when handling the value-added product, including clean tongs and gloved hands. ■ Ensure that the equipment you used to serve the valueadded product does not come into contact with any chilled/fresh products. ■ Wash your hands thoroughly with warm soapy water or sanitiser before going back to working with chilled/fresh meat. ■ Use your plastic bag as a glove to handle product.
