Don't Interrupt The Shopping Experience When done correctly, endcap displays reduce clutter and improve customer flow.  End caps (end-of-aisle) are important promotional locations in foodservice environment that rely on "retail-like" impulse sales or grab-n-go strategies to satisfy customer needs. Sales generated by items displayed at these locations are estimated to be up to 30% of total sales. The quick in-n-out consumers are most likely not going down every aisle. If you want to increase your snack, packaged foods, and drinks sales, an attractive end cap (end-of-aisle) display may be the very key piece of equipment. Reach out to me for more information.

Connecting chefs, brands and distributors, that’s our purpose. Each one of them need to be at the center of attention to achieve their goals somewhere in the process of the foodservice sales cycle. That sales cycle and business relationship is one that is dynamic and ever changing based on varying needs, performance and availability. Building long lasting partnerships and avoiding transactional experiences is what we seek to forge. Getting to the center of the plate requires varying business strategies and all of them require relevancy and visibility. Tailor made solutions for stakeholders in foodservice distribution.

One question I’ve come across many times is whether Foodservice and HoReCa are the same overlapping terms or entirely different sales channels? They’re used interchangeably in the industry.
