Restaurant labor shortages have become a pervasive issue, affecting both corporate and store-level operations. Three restaurant executives discussed labor issues and how tech can help at the Fast Casual Executive Summit in October.
Goodcents franchisees are excited about a menu change launching Monday that will add 30 percent more meat to its popular sub sandwiches – and potentially draw a lot of new customers.
Goodcents, known for its freshly baked bread and hand-sliced deli meats and cheeses, is increasing the amount of meat on subs of all sizes and party trays. The change comes in response to guests who have expressed interest in getting more protein into their diets. Goodcents has been testing the new menu at two corporate locations since September to rave reviews.
“Our guests have overwhelmingly loved the sandwiches with 30 percent more meat,” says Jami Bond, vice president of franchise development. “And our franchisees love it, too, because they know customers will be excited to taste the new sandwiches.”
