Article Abstract:
Steaks have been a popular menu for a lot of consumers, which translates to big business for operators. Recent studies show that beef still reigns in foodservice menus despite gains made by seafood and chicken. Data from Purchase Dynamic Research showed that in 1996, beef represented 58% of all orders, compared to 25% for chicken and 7% for seafood. But despite the high demand for steak, DSRs have a problem in sales, a trend attributed to misinformation and confusion in the meat industry.
