How to Create the Best Vegan Burger Offer

 

1. ENSURE VEGAN BURGERS TOP THE MENU

Burgers are still one of the most regularly ordered menu items at dinner time. One third of consumers cited burgers as the meal they were most looking forward to when heading out to eat* and 77% of diners are likely to order a burger in a pub or restaurant monthly or more regularly**.

2. MAKE SURE THOSE VEGAN BURGERS ARE GOURMET

When choosing a burger in a pub or restaurant, 84% would opt to make it gourmet and 91% say quality of ingredients is important or very important to them**. Consumers are willing to pay up to £1.35 more for their burger to come in a gourmet bun*** so operators should stock high-quality buns to help improve margin.

3. INNOVATE

Flavour is a key driver to ordering a burger (46%) followed by variety of fillings (39%)**, so vegan options should not compromise on taste, quality or flavour. Invest in menu development and stay on top of current vegan trends to deliver an outstanding Gourmet Burger menu this Veganuary. 

4. RATIONALISE YOUR MENU AND REDUCE KITCHEN COMPLEXITIES

Opting for frozen, pre-sliced, quick to defrost carriers can simplify kitchen operations and avoid food wastage during the industry’s most challenging time.
