Adding Food to the Menu: A Recipe for Growth and Profitability

The modern foodservice industry is more dynamic than ever, and savvy dealers know that adapting to market trends is the key to staying competitive. One of the biggest opportunities for growth? Encouraging your customers to add food items to their menus. From coffee shops to breweries and bars, food offerings have proven to increase revenue significantly—even for establishments that have traditionally been beverage-focused.

Starbucks: A Lesson in Diversification

Starbucks is a prime example of how adding food can transform a business. While most customers know the brand for its coffee, food sales are becoming an integral part of its success. In 2023, Starbucks’ food revenue neared $6 billion, with all-day breakfast options like sous vide egg bites and breakfast sandwiches accounting for half of those sales. The company has also embraced innovation, introducing premium snacks and plant-based offerings to appeal to evolving customer preferences.

This strategy has not only increased the average ticket size but also encouraged customers to visit during less traditional hours, such as the afternoon. As Starbucks continues to innovate its food offerings, it proves that adding the right menu items can generate demand, build customer loyalty, and significantly boost sales.

How Adding Food Boosts Sales for Your Customers

Adding food items to the menu can lead to a sales increase of 10% to 30%, depending on how well the new offerings complement existing ones and how effectively they are marketed. Key benefits include:

  1. Increased Average Ticket Size: Complementary items, like sandwiches or pastries, encourage customers to order more per visit.
  2. Expanded Demographics: Offering food options appeals to a broader audience, including those with dietary preferences or restrictions.
  3. All-Day Appeal: Seasonal or all-day menus attract customers during non-peak hours, such as afternoons or evenings.
  4. Customer Retention: Regular menu updates keep customers coming back to try something new.
