The New Reality of Foodservice Efficiency: Doing More with Less

The New Reality of Foodservice Efficiency: Doing More with Less

July 23, 2026 by Allie Tadych |


Restaurant-related costs are up by as much as 32%, forcing owners to increase menu prices by 27%.  As a result, foodservice professionals are looking for solutions that deliver both efficiency and versatility. Finding strategic ways to improve profitability, maintain quality, and satisfy customer expectations has never been more essential. 

Menu innovation is more important than ever for maintaining healthy profit margins. Sourcing high-quality, cost-effective ingredients can help operators protect those margins while creating value across the menu. At the same time, today's consumers are increasingly selective about where they spend their dining dollars. By featuring unique, trend-inspired menu items, restaurants can capture guest interest, deliver value, and create memorable dining experiences. 

Looking for menu items that can do more? 

"JIFFY" Sweet Cornbread & Muffin Mix is the perfect menu solution. As Sweet Corn Waffles they can be topped in a variety of sweet or savory ways to fit every daypart. Operators can maximize menu appeal while containing base ingredient costs, leaving plenty of room for creativity. One waffle. Endless possibilities.
