Boxing promoter Don King said, “If you want to sell a steak, you can’t just have the sizzle, you gotta have the sauce.” As a menu developer, you know the value of a unique sauce or blend that drives traffic and average tickets to your chain.
Whether you’ve created your next great blend or sauce and need a company to scale it up or need help in ideating one for you, Butterball® Farms is your go-to solution.
Fast-paced kitchen prep demands pre-made custom blends and sauces for labor savings and consistency.
“The number of restaurant chains who count on us for making their custom blends, sauces or marinades keeps growing because we make the process easy without compromising flavor, no matter the challenge,” says Joy Pellek, Butterball Farms Director of Business Development.
Limited time offers (LTOs) are a great reason to feature a custom sauce or blend. New research by Datassential says chain operators report as much as a 25% jump in revenue during the months of a successful LTO.
However, the greatest long-term value lies in incorporating an exceptional sauce or blend into your regular menu. Butterball Farms ensures consistency in delivering your sauces and marinades year after year. “We deliver our sauces and blends in the packaging they prefer, with most asking for disposable tubs to be used back-of-house. Tubs take up very little space near a grill or prep station and are easily stored ‘til needed,” says Pellek.
Transform your meals with our Roasted Garlic Herb Tub, a versatile blend that adds irresistible flavor to any dish, from burgers to flatbread pizzas. This culinary companion not only saves time but also eliminates the mess, making gourmet dining effortlessly convenient.
“One operator requested a Calabrian spice and garlic butter spread that could be used at the grill to flavor their burger or spread on pizza,” Pellek explains. “The time, labor, mess, and inconsistency of having the spread made individually across multiple restaurant units provided significant value to the chain customer.”
“We monitor research on what flavors are trending. Because we have decades of experience in creating custom flavors, we consult with many customers on what ingredients work best for the intended application.”
