- New Menu – Our newest Scramblers full menu is currently in production. We have decided to take a small menu price increase in order to stay ahead of our rising business costs while remaining market competitive. While considering all options for this new menu, we conducted the necessary market research and menu engineering to make it as successful as possible. We’ve done market analysis and looked closely at the velocity reports to make certain decisions as to what new items should be added to the menu (just one) as well as what items should be eliminated. As you will see, this is an even more stream-lined menu designed to offer a good mix of both eclectic and staple items, while being even more operationally efficient. Because this menu will be in stores in the coming weeks, we’ve decided to highlight the items that will be removed from the new menu so that GMs and cooks can appropriately manage their inventory levels and avoid ordering products for items that will no longer be in use by mid-October. Aside from recategorizing, price increases and other changes, the following is the list of items that will not make the next menu:
- Lean & Green Omellette
- Southwest Frittata
- Sunrise Sprouts
- Steak & Eggs
- Berry Nutty Pancakes
- Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes
- Pecan/ Blueberry waffles
- Veggie Quinoa
- Harvest Benny
- Downtown Turkey & Avocado
- Fiesta Chicken Salad
- One & One petite portion salad
RECURRING TOPICS
- Baking Powder – We received good news last week. GFS had previously reported to us that Red Star Baking Powder was being discontinued. This news had a scrambling for a reasonable alternative and/ or even a possible recipe change as we worked with baking powder alternatives that were not an ideal profile match. GFS has discovered and explained to us that this initial report was in error. In fact, Red Star Baking Powder has not been discontinued, merely repackaged. It is expected to be available to us within the next two weeks and will come in different packaging and pack size. Please watch for its availability when placing your orders for the next couple of weeks so that you can get it as soon as it becomes available again.
- Cocktail Menu – For restaurants using or anticipating their liquor licenses, we have finalized a newer, more streamlined Scramblers Cocktails Menu. We have already implemented this new menu into the Scramblers corporate restaurants and will be presenting our findings as we move forward.
- Blackhawk Gift Cards – Be advised, the Scramblers Gift cards that are being sold in retail outlets such as Kroger and Giant Eagle have been updated as part of the implementation of our Sizzle POS System. Attached is an informational update regarding these cards. Please read and educate your staff on these cards. Blackhawk Gift Cards
