Wholesale group, JJ Food Service is to launch a range of confectionery and snacks, which may help the company to bring in custom from new market sectors.
Ali Guvemli, chief product officer, commented, “While our business caters mainly for foodservice outlets, our competitive pricing and efficient ordering process will appeal to independent retailers, too. Our prices are fully visible via our website and customers can order online for same-day collection or next-day delivery.”
Over 50% of the firm's sales come from orders placed online but rises substantially to 70% when customers visit a branch and place an online order via a touch-screen monitor.
Guvemli added, “We appreciate that customers want to spend as little time as possible shopping, so if an order is placed from home or work for collection, customers can be in and out of a branch within five minutes.'
