The rise
of affordable
indulgence
Despite the squeeze on discretionary spend (or perhaps
because of it) consumers still want to be indulged when
they go out to grab a bite to eat or drink to sup. Mathieu
Teisseire’s range of flavoured syrups allows operators to
offer that indulgence at an affordable price point.
The range is as wide as it is versatile, offering fruit and
herb flavoured syrups including passion fruit, peach, mint
and grenadine, as well as cocktail syrups such as Mojito
and Piña Colada. Mathieu Teisseire allows operators to
add flair to a wide range of drinks, including milkshakes,
coffee, hot chocolate and elegant soft drinks.
Many foodservice businesses are stepping up the
indulgence. For example, Café Nero has launched
Belgian Chocolate & Hazelnut and Espresso & Caramel
Frappe Crème lines. And US fried chicken giant
Popeye’s, which made its UK debut in 2021 and plans to
open 30 outlets in 2023,27 offers Hand Spun Milkshakes
with Oreo, Lotus Biscoff and Terry’s Chocolate Orange.
Fast food, coffee shops and sandwich and bakery outlets are
expected to drive the recovery of the foodservice channel in
coming years, with coffee shops delivering the greatest growth
driven in part by strong physical expansion.28 Giving consumers
more chances to pick up refreshing drinks and tasty bites in a wider
range of locations will be key.
Leon is increasingly focusing on an omnichannel strategy and
plans to open 60 more coffee kiosks in 2023.25 Pret A Manger has
launched self-service coffee stations under sub-brand Pret Express
and is set to roll the concept out further in 2023.25 Greggs is set to
open its first airport outlet at Gatwick, a site that’s well-placed to
target commuters travelling through Gatwick rail station as well as
long-distance travellers, and Wendy’s franchise, Blank Table will be
opening its first drive-thru.25
