The rise of grab and go
Sponsored: Demand for delicious hot food on the go is still going strong, so how can we fully embrace this trend?
“Given how fast-paced life is, it’s no surprise that demand for convenient, high-quality snacks is on the rise,” states Shaun Meyer, Monty’s Bakehouse Senior Business Development Manager.
“Consumers want hot, satisfying options in minutes, such as a folded pizza or a sweet waffle, and operators are looking for solutions that require minimal prep without the need for skilled staff or specialist equipment.
“This is where hot grab-and-go snacks provide the perfect solution, offering a satisfying bite anytime, anywhere, and our innovative snack solutions help foodservice outlets keep their customers happy and sustained.”
Aimed at retailers and foodservice operators, the Monty’s Bakehouse range has been created to be easy to store, prepare and serve.
“Our range will satisfy customer cravings and for retailers and foodservice operators, minimise food waste and maximise profits,” says Shaun. “Perfect for all-day snacking, they work as a convenient solution when the kitchen is closed or as a standout addition to any food-to-go offering.”
The products are delivered frozen to lock in freshness and can be heated in minutes.
Served in their fully recyclable packaging, there is no food handling nor any need for plates or cutlery.
“Our unique low-crumb pastry ensures a mess-free, grease-free experience, making products even more appealing for operators and consumers alike.”
FUTURE TRENDS
“Hot snacks and convenience foods will continue to grow in popularity, but today’s consumers expect more than ever before,” continues Shaun. “We know that consumers want restaurant-quality hot snacks that deliver premium flavours and ingredients in a convenient format. This is why our award-winning chefs have developed an authentic pizza range, stone baked in Italy with Italian tomatoes and long leavened dough, to bring authenticity to the grab-and-go sector.
“Another key trend is the nation’s love for nostalgic classics, but with a modern twist, so we created our cheeseburger pastry – a unique take on the beloved burger, wrapped in a delicate lattice pastry for a truly innovative snacking experience.”
PLANET-FRIENDLY
As a certified B Corporation, Monty’s Bakehouse is fully committed to sustainability and social responsibility at every level. “Our snacks come in 100% recyclable paperboard packaging,” says Shaun. “We operate a zero-waste-to-landfill policy and we continuously invest in energy-efficient equipment to minimise our impact on the environment. Indulgence can be planet-friendly too!”
