Yes, your advertising can be finding the right markets. Yes, the aesthetics of your products can be unmatched. However, your frozen food lines may not be drawing loyal customers to continue buying your products. Why?
Market research may determine that product lines can be too tried and true– customers may be looking for fresh takes on traditional recipes or even new and inventive flavor combinations. Many labels have iterations on similar products like cheese pizzas or frozen vegetable medleys. Maximizing flavorful food can help solidify sales if customers are searching for new recipes to try.
While advertising and aesthetics may influence customers to buy your products, the taste and flavor profile help them determine if they’ll purchase your products again. Here, we’ll offer some R&D tips for enhancing taste in frozen meals, focusing on frozen pizza production. We’ll also explore using cheese toppings to diversify your product line, as well as applying the versatility of meat slicer target applicators to R&D efforts. Maximing flavorful food in your product line among other steps can simplify R&D and help connect with more customers.
Flavorful Food and Regional Pizza: R&D
Incorporating flavorful food into your product line will surely attract customers. However, R&D is sure to help your company solidify its product offerings. From New York-style to Detroit- and California-style pizza, regional pizza offers a great starting point for invention. By iterating on classics, your label can connect with more customers while establishing a unique brand identity. However, the process starts with R&D– a critical part of creating new recipes that will be successful. Our tips for enhancing taste in frozen meals include looking at trends, innovating new favorites, and improving your production process.
Look at Trends
Maximizing flavorful food in your product line begins with identifying popular trends that are worth investing in. Frozen food companies can invest in market research, however, social media is exceptionally helpful when finding out what consumers want. On TikTok alone, Pizza Toast gained 2.2 million views, toast topped with pizza toppings. Imagine offering a similar product but with regional pizza ingredients! Social media platforms, especially TikTok, show just how popular food trends are, at no cost. Brands can easily see which food items and toppings are in demand, simplifying the process of market research.
Innovate
When your company identifies trends it wants to follow, it’s time to innovate. Labels can create products to meet trends, and they can also create their own take on the recipe. Frozen pizza companies can add trendy toppings to the fluffy base of a Chicago-style pizza, or unique ingredients to the eclectic California pizza. While other brands replicate traditional regional pizza recipes, yours can stand out from the rest with trendy toppings.
Improve Production Processes
Following trends, meeting demands, and innovating at low costs are certainly serious challenges to food manufacturing. However, maximizing flavorful food doesn’t have to come at a cost. While traditional R&D can be expensive, between testing ingredients and effort taken away from producing tried and true recipes, the right automated equipment can lower the risk of R&D. Improving your production processes to streamline operations while lowering the cost of R&D can help your brand follow trends, meet demand, and innovate. We make this possible with Quantum equipment.
Quantum equipment simplifies the process of maximizing flavorful food through efficiency, versatility, and adaptability. Let’s take a look at culinary boldness with cheese toppings and the equipment available to do so.
Culinary Boldness With Cheese Toppings
Cheese toppings are classic ingredients of most pizzas. From shredded mozzarella and cheddar to grated parmesan and gorgonzola, your brand has the choice of many different cheese toppings to create unique flavor profiles. Cheese toppings can have sharp, creamy, and earthy flavors that each offer many possibilities for inspiring recipes. At Quantum, our versatile Cheese/Topping Applicators can dispense different shredded cheeses, as well as dry ingredients, IQF ingredients, and vegetables. Our Dry/Granular Ingredient Applicators can dispense granular cheese, such as parmesan and gorgonzola. They can also apply herbs, spices, salt, and similar ingredients to maximize flavorful food possibilities.
Besides cheese toppings, meat toppings are also popular additions to pizza. Our team at Quantum has designed meat slicer target applicators, and versatile ones at that.
Versatility of Meat Slicer Target Applicators
Pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon– you name it. Meats are fan-favorite pizza toppings and Quantum equipment can slice and apply various stick meats to pizza. Your brand can specify the slice number and design of the meat slices on our Meat/Pepperoni Slicers, helping your products meet aesthetic requirements.
