Summertime is the most wonderful time of the year. Brighter warmer weather gives everyone all the opportunity to enjoy exploring the world and spending days basking in the sunshine.
With all this adventuring, it is important to have some healthy and delicious snacks and drinks on hand for customers to grab and go. Having food which is easy to eat, carry and enjoy for customers to purchase helps to boost sales as they can enjoy it on the go.
Whether you want to serve hot food or quick cold snacks or even smoothies, there are millions of options out there that can be easily prepared in takeout containers which are easy to eat from on the go.
Fruit salads or skewers are a great little snack to take on the go and are entirely customisable, meaning you can make multiple options for customers to choose from. Not only are they quick and easy to make, but they are also healthy and very delicious.
Mixing seasonal fruits together in one is a great way to provide a variety of different vitamins in a fast and fuss-free way. You could also offer whole fruits. Apples and oranges are great options as they can easily be eaten on a walk and they don’t require any utensils.
Another alternative are smoothies. Smoothies are the perfect to-go offering as you can create many different flavours and combinations which will all taste amazing, offering customers variety. Something light, citrusy and refreshing is a great choice for those long sunny days.
You can also opt to sell other kinds of juice. Green juices are a popular choice for many people as they are packed full of goodness but are really easy to drink on the go. This is a great option if you want to offer on trend, healthy drinks for your patrons.
It may seem simple, but sandwiches are another good choice for summertime. Not only are they a great lunch option, but they can be really easily packed in disposable food packaging to allow customers the option to sit in or take away.
If you want to avoid food that needs to be eaten while sat down, items such as wraps, burritos, tacos, burgers are a great option. These can easily be eaten while on the move and there is no need to provide seating areas.
Salads are another fantastic choice if you want to be able to offer a variety of options while keeping a limited menu. Different proteins, vegetables, nuts and seeds and dressings can make endless salad possibilities.
It’s important to remember to provide facilities for customers to throw their waste away. Recycling food packaging and throwing waste food in the bin can help to keep our world clean and tidy, so providing recycling bins around your establishment is a great idea.
