DRIVING SALES & MARGIN THROUGH MEAT-FREE PRODUCTS

Fried chicken burgers have long been a popular mainstay of our high streets. From the familiar suburban chicken shop to the local chip shop offering burgers alongside its core menu, chicken burgers have always been a popular go-to option for taste, quality, and convenience. Over the last year, we’ve seen a move towards fried chicken from other cuisines, joining the more traditional southern-US style chicken - Korean fried chicken is becoming increasingly popular, driven in part by trends on social media.

Across the fast food sector, we’re also seeing a real shift towards high-quality products. For operators, it’s about making the whole experience more premium for consumers. When it comes to burgers, the quality of the meat needs to be first-rate (that goes without saying), but the packaging, the menu choices, the condiments, all play a role in elevating the meal experience and moving away from what consumers are familiar with. In turn, this can help boost revenue, as consumers will pay more for a more premium experience.
