Retail

Some foods are worth switching supermarkets for.

Let's Cook

Better food on the shelf brings better customers in the door.

Shalit Chefs and those at the famous brands we partner with fuss over the little things. To be fair, though, they don’t consider them ‘little’. Probably because the effect is so big, even when the food’s concentrated. Example?

Take Savory Choice brand beef, chicken and vegetable broths and pho concentrates. Carolyn Jung, Food Editor at the San Jose Mercury News, said this lineup “leaves its competitors in the dust.” Convenient retail packaging contains 12 sachets. So, they require little shelf space — not that they last there long.

    CASE STUDY:

    Value and quality in one whole chicken

    The Problem

    Large retailers compete heavily on whole chickens with a main focus on price. Our National Canadian Retail Chain partner wanted to be priced well while offering customers something unique and irresistible. How could they find a flavour that appeals to the widest demographic while ensuring the seasoning works across their various types of equipment?

    The Solution

    • Identify the equipment used (2 different major brands across the nation)
    • Work with the equipment manufacturer to test various flavours (about 15 flavours)
    • Determine the burn points, flavour absorption and visual appeal for each
    • Select the flavour and work with the equipment companies to program their equipment to work with that spice
    • Provide the support across the locations and regional managers, including welcome packages and in-box direction

    The end result

    A seasoned whole chicken that their customers can proudly serve at home, featuring outstanding quality and value.

    What Shalit partners say of the service

    I have used Savory Choice broths for years … and in my opinion they are the best broths on the market for making sauces.

    Corporate Chef

    National Director of Culinary, HMR

    Most of the foodservice chains in Canada and many high-end restaurants use Savory Choice bases from Shalit if they’re not making bone broths. Savory Choice has also been very successful in the meal kit market as you would see the little pouches of broth as part of the kits. This might be something that could be an opportunity to be sold out of the meat department.
