Santa Maria, the nation’s leading out-of-home food provider, has announced the launch of its new Salsa range - a category worth a total of £212m - designed to help pub, casual dining, restaurant and quick-serve operators elevate their menu offering and increase the average spend per head.   With Creed Foodservice’s Plates to Profit 2023 Report revealing that nearly half (47%) of pub and restaurant operators have seen the number of bookings reduce[1], it’s increasingly important that operators maximise average spend per visit – and salsa can help do just that. The average trip spend on salsa occasions reaches £16.50, compared to £11.20 in the wider market.   Santa Maria’s new Salsa range is a trio including Mexican Salsa Roja, Salsa Rio Grande and Mexican Salsa Verde, which are all vegan, gluten and lactose-free packed with natural flavours and no added preservatives.

Price increases for food delivery declined from 20% in 2022 to 15% in 2023

The regulatory organisation told the company not to show the ad again.

The new outlet will open on Valentine’s Day.

Since June, foodservice price inflation has consistently decreased.

A Copenhagen-based interior architect was tapped for the refurbishment.

McDonald’s will be one of its first partners for the commercial kitchen.

The brand recently opened a restaurant above Victoria Station.

It will invest in sustainable F&B business.

The brand previously opened six restaurants last year.

The franchise partner for the brand is HSD Capitol.

National Pizza Day is celebrated on 9 February.
