Good things come in small packages…especially if it has fries inside…and maybe a burger…with a milkshake on the side…and delivered to your front door. But really when we hear the saying good things come in small packages, its not the size of the package we think but rather the quality of what’s inside. The thought and care that really goes into making it something special. That little something extra. The lagniappe.
This is how we of Focus Foodservice came to be and continue to show up for our clients in our market every day. We are like our packaging- a small home-grown group of creatives with big ideas looking for how we can bring that little something extra to you. From day one, our team grew together with the unique background and out of the box thinking (pun intended) to bring our expertise to the playing field. We have witnessed the exciting, forward-thinking changes to the food industry but with it, the daunting game of catch up. With the explosive emphasis and introduction of everything food from third party delivery to mobile food trucks, community style food halls to ecofriendly lifestyles, and Netflix food special mashups to whatever the next infamous Instagram worthy food will be, you might be feeling uncertain of where you fit in or where to look next. Business has been good but maybe you’ve been tossing around the idea to make some small upgrades. When you start looking into making that next change it can feel like you need to get an MBA in Search Engine Optimization, a law degree for plastic bans, an engineering degree for custom packaging and join a monthly meetup for marketing trends while still placing your order for next Thursday’s scheduled truck delivery. Continuous change is exciting with opportunity for growth but with it comes the growing pains that can seem a little too much. This is where we want to be with you-in the midst of the questions, what to do next, what does that look like, and what’s the game plan. Our love of finding the small details to make your vision come to life is our little something extra. While we offer a multitude of packaging and display options, we care more than that. We want the best part of you to be put out into the world. While it may take the form of a printed beverage napkin, we see that great conversation over drinks at your new bar. It may also look like a catering tray, but we see the seamless design and countless details to create that perfect wedding you made come true. Also you see a plastic souvenir cup in a cabinet but we see your name holding a drink with friends getting ready for the big game. Lastly it may look like a plain pulp container but we think it looks like the best fries making their way home after a long days work…with maybe a burger…and a milkshake on the side. So we ask you, what does that little something extra look like to you? What is your lagniappe? We can’t wait to hear. Lets get to work!
