Published: February 25, 2025
Beef Up Your Menu With More Flexibility and Less Work
People want beef. And they want it regularly. But with today’s labor challenges, providing plenty of variety and consistency on your menu may seem out of reach. Diced Beef from ibp Trusted Excellence® brand may be the simple solution.
Cash In on Comfort
These days, beef dishes are in high demand. Almost 70% of consumers are eating beef at least once a week.1 Why is that? Because according to 48% of all consumers, it’s a comfort food.1 So when you’re menuing a beef dish, it’s a good idea to make sure you’ve got at least one elevated cozy classic, like a hearty beef stew, simple street tacos or a decadent beef stroganoff. Your consumers want comfort, and when you have diced beef on hand, you can wow them with ease.
What Does High Demand Mean for a Tight Labor Market?
More demand for beef dishes might be tough with current back-of-house labor constraints, which are not likely to ease up in the next year. In fact, 92% of operators paid more for staff in 2024, and 89% of operators expect another rise in costs in 2025.2 But you can find ways to maximize the workforce you already have. Stocking simple, versatile ingredients like diced beef eliminates the need for more skilled labor, cuts prep time and brings efficiency to the kitchen—alongside a better customer experience.
Simplicity Can Help Cut Costs
Making sure your back-of-house staff can execute on your menu—and do it well—is a must. Simplicity is key. In fact, 25% of operators have managed rising costs by simplifying their menus.2 Whether it’s making ingredients work across the menu or focusing on a few key dishes, streamlining your operation can make a huge difference.
“Diced beef is versatile and easy-to-use. It works well in anything from a classic elevated Beef Bourguignon to a Middle Eastern Style Pomegranate Braised Beef to a Cali-style Burrito. And, it arrives trimmed and pre-chopped—so your BOH staff can save time in meal prep steps.”
– Chef Brooks Cameron, Senior Executive Chef, Tyson Foodservice Culinary
Focus on Quality, Taste and Consistency
Consumers are concerned with excellent meals and flavors they like.3 Great taste and quality were rated the top two factors in considering a meal—and a restaurant.3 High quality ingredients—like ibp Trusted Excellence® Diced Beef—can help make sure your operation scores high with customers. But that’s not all a restaurant needs—consistency can help bring in more customers. In fact, 56% of operators are gaining more business by focusing on consistent menu execution.4 When your customers come back, they want to have the same great experiences as they had the last time.
Diced Beef is Your Secret Weapon to Wow
It’s incredibly versatile, works across dayparts and it’s ready to cook—simply sear, simmer or braise it, and add it to your recipe. Whip up a protein-packed omelet for breakfast or brunch. Offer a sweet & savory BBQ chopped beef sandwich for lunch. Or maybe add it to a warm beef pot pie for your evening menu. Our diced beef can help you maintain the menu that your customers are looking for, while easing your back-of-house labor pains. Depend on ibp Trusted Excellence® brand to help your organization succeed.
