Expect to see slimmer menus
Core menu focus near term Expect more value and LTO activity to win back guests New product development on hold Single-serve and grab-and-go increasingly important Off-premise will continue to outpace dine-in sales growth
Private label and lower-cost solutions likely to become more important for operators in a lower demand and tight labor environment Invest in eCommerce tools, capabilities, and people
Digital will be a bigger role in selling going forward Have content online for operator research / ordering
As much as <30% of local restaurants and ~10-15% of chain doors may not reopen (worst-case)

Best positioned distributors have a strong sales force, solid digital platform, and broader offering Sales model likely looks different given sales force reduction, local restaurant closures, and greater eCommerce sales
Still need balance between digital and sales reps
See further opportunity to increase private label penetration given:
1) Limited product availability (easier to switch operators) 2) Greater need for operators to lower costs
Selling into retail/grocery likely not a long-term strategy
Opportunities may exist to service groceraunts

Local restaurant operators seem hesitant to reopen dining rooms at 50% capacity due to profitability
rooms.
Chain restaurants seem to be willing to reopen at lower seating capacity (share opportunity).
Value is expected to be a bigger driver over the coming six months as restaurants battle to regain customers against a tougher economic backdrop. Off-premise sales likely continue to outpace dine-in sales even as dining rooms reopen. Menus likely remain smaller long term given greater off-premise sales, labor/execution concerns, and product availability (operators have been more efficient/profitable with smaller menus during COVID). Labor is expected to be a headwind for the next several months given unemployment benefits. There is concern that ~10-20% of restaurant customers may not return to prior habits for a year or more.
