Who’s got the time? I mean, really — between dropping the kids off at school, meetings, going to the gym, and heading back to the ole alma mater on a football Saturday morning — we’re constantly on-the-go. And yet, we still deserve the tastiest, quality comfort food we can get our hands on throughout the day, no matter where we are.
Consumers aren’t always able to sit down for a full meal and eat your amazing food; sometimes, they’ve got 30 minutes, or they’d prefer to gobble down a delicious sandwich in the park after a meeting. To optimize sales, it’s important to reach your clientele, not just in your dining room, but everywhere they eat.
That’s where grab-and-go or flaky, buttery gourmet handheld sandwich carriers like buttermilk biscuits, mini waffles, croissants, or even pastry puffs can come in — well, handy.
Bis-Get It!
Almost falling somewhere between a bun and a dessert, it makes sense that biscuits are so popular. Since COVID, breakfast sandwich carriers have seen growth of an astounding 71% in buttermilk biscuits, according to research.
And that’s simply because everyone loves them! They’re warm and soft, excellent complements to just about any ingredient — from savory proteins to fruit compotes — and they provide a certain nostalgic comfort, perhaps reminding you of your grandmother’s cooking. Plus, they can be served throughout dayparts, without overburdening your kitchen.
For example, Heritage Ovens® Buttermilk Biscuits deliver housemade taste and an irresistible texture, minus the time and labor of baking from scratch. Made with real buttermilk, with zero grams of trans fat, no partially hydrogenated oils, and certified kosher dairy, these quality, heat-and-serve biscuits come in a variety of sizes and formats for max convenience and optimum applications — including paired with Ridgecrest® Sausage or West Creek® Patties for top-selling items such as biscuits ‘n’ gravy or egg and cheese sandwiches featuring a Piancone® Pesto spread and saucy arugula.
Carry On
Biscuits aren’t the only items that can take your sandwich fixin’s from good to glorious. Give your guests a taste of Brussels with premium, imported Heritage Ovens Waffles or Sweet Waffles with Pearl Sugar serving as the buns. Envelope tender fried chicken and a spicy chipotle sauce in slabs of golden-brown, caramelized brioche. Or showcase rich, creamy, fruity Brie with peach preserves, walnuts, and prosciutto, as savory lusciously collides with sweet.
Pre-baked croissants from Heritage Ovens add a sophisticated, upscale feel to carryout with a beautiful honeycomb structure and light, flaky layers that lovingly hold silky eggs, melty cheese, veggies, sauces — whatever scrumptiousness works best for your concept. Laying on the luxury, you can place toppings such as Roma® Cup ‘n’ Char Pepperoni, mushrooms, and olive oil-drizzled tomatoes on Heritage Ovens Puff Pastry Dough Squares (kind of like mini pizzas) and stash them in environmentally friendly First Mark® Carryout Containers.
Whether it’s a loaded Egg and Chorizo Breakfast Biscuit, BBQ Pork Sliders on Buttermilk Biscuits, a Strawberry Almond Tres Leches Cake crafted with spongey Southern biscuits, or any other craveable combination of waffle squares, croissants, pastries, and delectable fillings — there is a squad of fluffy baked goods to help take your breakfast sammies, brunch goodies, or tailgate plates to an MVP level.
