With rising food costs and a troubled economy, quick service restaurant owners face pressure than ever to attract cost-conscious customers while maintaining profitability. What can quick service operators do to boost both their menus and their sales? All it takes is a little creativity.

Take advantage of the surging popularity of snack-sized menu choices. With their smaller size and greater portability, snack-sized items are a fantastic option for value-driven customers in search of a quick bite between meals.

Move beyond the standard chicken wraps found on most QSR menus and offer your customers authentic taquitos, burritos, and chimichangas. Windsor Foods' Jose Ole and Posada lines feature a variety of heat-and-serve Mexican options to spice up your quick service menu and your sales!

For more great grab-and-go menu ideas, try Windsor Foods' EZ Eats line of unique microwavable snacks. With choices ranging from Country Fried Beef Fingers to Buffalo Chicken Mini Flautas, EZ Eats items are packaged in resealable cups specially designed to fit the cup holders in customers' cars.

Even better, the self-venting lid on all EZ Eats products allows for speedy preparation and maximum convenience at an excellent value. It's a perfect recipe for quick service profitability!

Capitalize on the bundling trend in quick service and offer your customers the chance to customize their meals. Many quick service restaurants have introduced pick-and-choose menu specials that let guests create their own combos from a list of affordable, smaller-sized options.

Windsor Foods makes this easy with snack-sized items like mini tacos, taquitos, and quesadillas from their Jose Ole and Posada lines. For a new twist on Asian favorites, Windsor Foods' Golden Tiger® line features a selection of egg rolls, spring rolls, won tons, and mini potstickers to make your bundling options even simpler!
