It only takes a second for a customer to decide to buy -- or move on. That's all the time Florida foodservice operators have to help entice consumers and encourage impulse purchases. Whether it's a grocery store, c-store, bakery, or even a quick-serve restaurant, the merchandiser can make all the difference in how those precious seconds are spent. Put another way, an effective merchandising solution can be the difference between making or losing a sale.

When lunchtime hits, the last thing any cafeteria director wants is a traffic jam. Bottlenecks in the serving line aren't just a nuisance; they hurt participation, slow down service, and create a frustrating experience. Whether it's a school cafeteria serving hundreds of students in a short window or a hospital cafe catering to busy healthcare workers, the struggle is the same. And too often, the culprit is outdated, one-size-fits-all serving equipment that can't keep up. Fortunately, there's a better solution taking hold across foodservice businesses in Florida: custom cafeteria serving lines.
