Reimagining the 2020 menu for one of America’s
largest restaurant chains.
Better choices,
more of the time
The Challenge
The BrandIQ client was looking to reimagine and revamp its menu in order to maintain its position and stay relevant as the go-to family destination.
Our Approach
- Opportunity Assessment to uncover current trends and menu shortcomings
- Menu Strategy Workshop to help leadership understand its capabilities and define results
- Multiple Rounds Of Qualitative Research to discern barriers and drivers to visit, as well as overall perceptions of current offerings
- Food and Trends Immersion to get the team engaged in what the market was dictating regarding flavors and experiences, build trust and confidence to change
- New Menu Platform Development based on insights, current and future partner capabilities and trends
- Co-Creative Workshops with target consumers to help build out winning platforms
- Team-wide Ideation Session that produced more than 500 new menu ideas
The Outcome
- Uncovered insights to help this family favorite bring in new guests and expand beyond its core dayparts
- Helped identify the best ideas for immediate screening, through idea management
- Ideas were screened at a national level
- 80% beat the action standards
- 60% of the ideas we generated outperformed their most successful national launches in the past 5 years
