Decided to have a simple and traditional lunch, partly homemade (the white porridge), and partly store bought (the Chinese deep-fried dough sticks油条). I grew up with simple food. The simple food is so hard to find in restaurants nowadays. I value simplicity in many things, including food. #ElenaTeoTechFit #keepITsimple

It's amazing to ponder the logistics of a sandwich. Individually, we haul frozen bread, fresh lettuce, deli meats or plant based alternatives, and cheeses. First as raw materials. Then as finished goods branded for consumers to distribution centers, restaurants, and stores. All Star makes customers happy, just like a well made sandwich!

Exciting developments in the fried chicken sandwich wars! Bloomberg's latest article highlights how high beef prices and Gen Z preferences are reshaping the food industry, as seen in the intense competition among fast-food giants. RMS research underscores these trends, revealing the growing popularity of chicken sandwiches and their strategic role amid shifting consumer tastes.

This morning's example of a good strategy poorly executed... My brilliant idea was pre-made frozen ham sandwiches. Shove in the lunchboxes, 30 seconds to defrost, and we can cram the lid shut. Poor execution? The damp paper towels separating the layers. Big fail. They stick. WHY did I not use the pre-cut reusable baking sheets I have for this very purpose??? 🤷🏼♀️ Have you ever seen a business decision as clever as this?? #strategicthinking #strategicforesight #executionmatters

Many have a fondness for a burrito. You get to mix in a bit of steak, veggies or chicken, add some of that spice that makes you reach for a beverage and the guac (always the guac). I think the best thing about it is the portability. Like a sandwich, you can get all the things you want in a meal on the go or sitting with perfect contentment with family and friends. Wouldn’t it be nice if your business operations were just like that burrito? A plug and play solution for your people's need in benefits, operations and needless to say the value of consistency. You know what you’re getting. Here’s the Insperity burrito. Would you like to share a meal? #ceo #costcontainment #operations #growth

Chicken Tales - Let me tell you a story about rotisserie chicken I grew up in Grocery – it’s in my blood. I was lucky to have stellar leaders who taught me key lessons that have made me successful – if you’re on time, you’re late…never be afraid to hire people smarter than you are…and the golden rule… NEVER be out of rotisserie chicken at 5pm. Fred Morganthall, our president at Harris Teeter, had a hot button on store visits. Rotisserie chicken was the first place he went – were we ready for the dinner rush crowd? Did they look good? Was there variety? He knew that if you lost the easy ‘what’s for dinner’ protein, you might lose the entire cart…you might even lose the long-term trust of that mom if you were out enough times. Not only does this beg the question of #onshelfavailability and whether you have enough, but on the other end it highlights the #grocerywaste question. Rotisserie chicken isn’t like a can of soup, if you have too much at the end of the window of freshness, it takes labor or waste to deal with it.Balancing having enough and not wasting – driving down margin – for an item that has to have time to cook is a tough act to get right without data. That’s where having the right systems make all the difference. Systems that pay for themselves many times over within a couple months exist and can solve this and many more challenges.Look for systems that: 1. Prompt your team on which items need attention - either for out of stocks or excess inventory, and then 2. Use cognitive technology to identify the right markdown prices so you’re clearing inventory at the highest margin possible, and ultimately 3. Will predict if you likely can’t sell it and should go ahead and donate or send to a third party. Because there is only so much chicken salad you can make for the deli! #whatsfordinner #foodwaste #outofstocks #grocery Retail Insight Photo credit: KRISTINA VÄNNI FOR TASTE OF HOME
