Build a to-go business with trending salad builds and convenient packaging solutions

Takeout and delivery are integral parts of the restaurant industry today. As operators consider launching or ramping up to-go operations, the salad category is worth a close look. First, health and wellness are top of mind for many consumers. They’re looking for quick, easy wholesome options, especially during the lunch and mid-afternoon hours. Second, from an operational standpoint, salads are easy to assemble, with eyes on keeping ingredients fresh and crisp. Pairing salads with single-serve dressings from Kraft Heinz Foodservice makes things even easier, with no mess and no labour. Read on for trend-forward salads that are ideal for takeout and delivery, perfectly paired with portion control dressings from Kraft Heinz.

Ordering takeout and delivery clearly spiked during the pandemic, yet although numbers have softened since the industry has started to bounce back, consumers have embraced the convenience of off-premise dining and made it into a lifestyle that’s here to stay.

In 2022, takeout & delivery made up 35% of share of dollars at full-service restaurants in Canada.

This was down 10% from 2021, reflecting a normalization since the onset of COVID.

Pre-pandemic numbers from 2019 show that takeout and delivery made up only 18% of share of dollars.
