Beef prices are up. Time to get creative with burger builds. 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗲𝘀, 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀, and 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗲𝘀 offer bold flavor, craveable crunch, and visual appeal – they’re perfect for premium burgers and LTO’s. Plus, they’re lower cost than beef, easy to prep, and proven to drive upsell and repeat orders. Smart foodservice operators know: it’s not just about cutting costs - it’s about adding value where it counts. #tampamaidfoods #foodservice #cheflife #burgerbuilds #vegetables #appetizers
