US Foods Launches New Spring Scoop; Stacey Kinkaid Shares
ROSEMONT, IL - Versatility is a tool any foodservice operator would be wise to implement, especially considering the many supply chain obstacles we have faced over the last couple of years. Once again, US Foods Holding Corp. has ventured to support its partners by launching the new Spring 2022 Scoop™. The “Do More with Less” lineup features 18 new products combined with a variety of inspiring menu ideas developed by US Foods product innovation and culinary experts.
“As part of our promise to help foodservice operators ‘Make It,’ we value the opportunity to provide the most innovative products to attract and retain diners while solving a variety of pain points shared across kitchens,” said Stacey Kinkaid, Vice President of Product Development and Innovation. “We understand the challenges operators face as they aim to bring new options to the menu, and Spring Scoop makes it easy to expand menus with versatile products that can be used across many recipes on an operator’s menu. The items reduce prep time back-of-house, save pantry space by creating inventory efficiencies, and help operators drive profitable menu solutions.”
As consumers continue to go in search of eating experiences that offer a fresh twist on traditional foods, US Foods has revealed several new products to tantalize the taste buds and offer foodservice operators versatility.
These products include:
- Monarch® Green Chickpeas
- Hilltop Hearth® Cilantro Chickpea Wrap
- Del Pasado® Mango Peach Salsa
- Chef’s Line® Korean Barbecue Sauce
- Hilltop Hearth Pub Grain Hamburger Bun
According to a press release, the number of vegan, vegetarian, and flexitarian diners is continuously rising. As such, US Foods has launched several alternative ingredient products that offer an opportunity to upsell for the operator.
These new offerings are paired with extensive insights from the foodservice distributor. Operators can book a consultation with US Foods chefs and Restaurant Operations Consultants as well. Operators can also register here to participate in the company’s “Make More with Less” webinar on March 22. For more information on the Spring Scoop, click here.
