Making Money with Prepared Foods
The meteoric rise of the prepared food departments in the 2010’s didn’t happen without reason. More and more consumers are choosing to eat prepared meals and cooking their own meals less frequently. Savvy food and beverage retailers realized they would need to adapt to keep hungry shoppers looking for a finished product, in store and out of the trendy restaurant down the street.
Whether it’s a basic drink counter tucked away in a corner of your store or CATAPULT® Customer Eataly’s famous La Pizza & La Pasta full-service sit-down wing in their NYC location, ECRS knows what it takes to help you satisfy the hungry consumer’s desire for convenience AND quality.
With ECRS, you can combine software solutions, like the ones found in our loyalty suite, with hardware solutions, like the made-in-house Flex market for the perfect prepared foods solution for your store. Discover how you can transform ingredients, reduce waste, and make money with ECRS’ prepared food solutions.
Made to Order
How can you serve customers better than fast-food options, and in less time than fast-food retailers? ECRS knows how. Whether it’s drinks, sandwiches, or something more involved, you can have customers order their “regular” or create a new masterpiece to send straight to the kitchen in seconds. Combine software solutions like the ones found in our Loyalty Suite with hardware solutions while serving customers the same, familiar, menu across every touch point.
Production just got a whole lot easier. This smart scale can print labels as fast as you can place products on the scale. This allows take-and-bake meals to be on display in record time and ingredients are out of the produce dept inventory and into your chef’s next classic recipe.AutoScaleTM Max
The ECRS AutoScale works quite well in our high-volume deli department. The POS screen and item group configurations are a leap forward. Since it works as a CATAPULT terminal, we have eliminated the need for ePLUM and item updates are now in real time. We will be using the AutoScale in all of our locations!

How do I scale my salsa recipe for the Super Bowl this weekend? How much food waste do I create per week? My cost of yellow onions went up, how many recipes does this affect? You’ve got questions, reciProfity has answers. Take the guesswork out of prepared food, hit your margin every time, control your inventory, and operate with confidence with reciProfity on your side.
reciProfity® was very easy to implement and makes it possible to accurately share and track our recipe cost and nutritional information. Extremely valuable as we prepare for the FDA Mandate!
