Fall Means More Choices
This year, keep your students coming back for more by providing options for customization and fun seasonal offerings, with some fun ideas and inspiration from Sysco and BakerSource baking mixes.
Student diners are increasingly seeking opportunities to customize their food for their unique tastes and nutritional needs. In Technomic's recently released "College and University Consumer Trend Report," 47% of students polled in 2010 said it is important that they can omit or substitute ingredients in their food compared to just 43% in 2009. BakerSource mixes provide you opportunities to offer customized breakfast dishes or for creating delicious 'platforms' for your students to then customize with a variety of sauces and toppings. More options and greater freedom to choose will have them clamoring to get back to school this fall.
Childhood favorites like banana chocolate chip or blueberry pancakes are just the beginning for customized breakfast options made with Sysco Classic Gold Coast Pancake Mix. Create fun seasonal offerings like pumpkin spice pancakes or macadamia nut-coconut pancakes with guava syrup. For special occasions, set-up a custom pancake bar where students can select the toppings they want mixed into their pancakes and watch as they are made to order. Engage your student audience by creating fun contests like a 'Flavor Final Four' where students vote on head-to-head pancake flavor contests until one is crowned champion and featured on the menu. With Sysco Classic Gold Coast Pancake Mix the possibilities for fun and flavor are endless!
