Business Development

We realize you have a lot of choices when it comes to your foodservice supplier and the only way Watson Sysco can earn the right to be your supplier of choice, is to offer value added services and to help our customers to become more successful. In conjunction with a nationally known restaurant consulting company, we have developed tools and proven systems that are designed to help you maximize your profits. Here are just some of the services we can offer:

Menu Analysis and Engineering

This is often the most overlooked part of a food service operation and represents the best opportunity for an operator to increase their profitability. Utilizing our menu analysis program we can break down the plate cost of all your menu items and incorporate your selling price to identify your highest profit items and analyze the rest of the menu to make adjustments as necessary to maximize your profits.

 We also have the ability to design a menu to locate your highest profit items in the menu “hot zones” which will entice your customers to order more of the higher profit items, thus increasing your profits. With our on staff graphic artist, for qualifying customers, we can design and print menus, table tents and take out menus in house. As your primary vendor, we can design and print your menus multiple times a year allowing you to stay ahead of inflating food prices. Our business development department or Performance Review department will be happy to further explain the criteria and benefits. We have found through experience we have been able to lower customers food cost anywhere from 2-4% by utilizing these tools along with a portion control system and proper inventory controls.
