Tip 3: Surprise your customers with free new sauces

Systematically give your customers new sauces to try out in addition to the familiar ketchup or mayonnaise. You will exceed customer expectations and let them test out new flavors. This can lead to more sauce sales (and different sauces) in your store.

Tip 4: Adjust your prices with standard 1 sauce included

Offer your customers a package price including sauce. This way there is no excessive extra cost for your customers and more margin for you.

Tip 5: Think about combos to make it easy for customers to choose

Suggest fixed menu combinations (small-medium-large) to get customers to buy more. This makes it more convenient for your customers to choose and more likely to get larger orders.

For example:

  • Small: small fries + 1 sauce + 1 snack
  • Medium: medium fries + 2 sauces + 1 snack
  • Large: large fries + 2 sauces + 2 snacks
