According to Restaurant HQ, 57% of Americans say they prefer to order takeout or delivery compared to dining in a restaurant. Datassential notes that group catering orders rose 34% in the past year among restaurants compared to last year. These are a few facts driving operators who are making the switch from seeing staff dump a handful of condiment packets in orders destined for the road to 1 oz. Dunk Cups.
1. A Smart Spend
A 1 oz. Dunk Cup is equivalent to three, 9 gram packets,” explains Megan Rhetts, Red Gold’s Foodservice Marketing Manager. “Compared to a handful of packets going into an order, a single Dunk Cup is a wise spend.” Red Gold® uniquely offers a variety of 1 oz. Dunk Cups, including two kinds of ketchup, marinara, and BBQ sauce.
2. Makes A Positive Impression
“A Dunk Cup also makes a good impression on customers who notice that the restaurant operator has thought through their order more completely by offering something extra, like one of our Dunk Cups,” says Rhetts. She also noted that the Dunk Cups are significant for family meal deals, gameday takeout, and office catering.
“Our Naturally Balanced Ketchup in a 1 oz. Dunk Cup is ideal for kids’ meal orders and for restaurants wishing to position their menu as premium or healthier,” says Rhetts. “With 74% less sodium than the leading brand and made with real sugar, not high fructose corn syrup, our Naturally Balanced Ketchup helps operators to set themselves apart from their competitors. Red Gold’s Naturally Balanced Ketchup is the #1 brand of ketchup served by K-12 schools, so kids and their parents will appreciate our brand in their orders.”
“We also offer our Red Gold Folds of Honor Ketchup in a distinctive 1 oz. Dunk Cup that communicates a restaurant’s support of families of fallen first responders and military heroes. Thus, our Dunk Cups carry a message that the restaurant cares about an important cause,” Megan says.
Additionally, dunk cups offer a mess-free solution, eliminating spills and drips, simplifying cleanup for staff and enhancing the dining experience for customers. With dunk cups, operators save time on maintenance while providing a more convenient way to enjoy sauces.
3. Key Sauces Customers Love
Beyond the two ketchups in Dunk Cups, Red Gold also offers one of the most versatile sauces that a restaurant can offer, marinara sauce. From dipping bread sticks, mozzarella sticks, or pizza crust, to chicken tenders, marinara sauce in Red Gold’s 1 oz. Dunk Cups is a leading seller. The company’s Barbecue Sauce is likewise in high demand because of its sweet, smoky flavor and versatility across a variety of menu offerings.
