Changing the taste of the quick service space

Sarah Stowe

So you love delicious, healthy food and have an appetite for owning your own business. But you want to be part of something that isn’t your garden variety opportunity. 

More and more, consumers are demanding quick service restaurants be held accountable for their ingredient sourcing. Consumers care about supporting our local farmers and expect the freshest produce made available in eateries. 

Whether you prefer fresh over frozen, super foods, or simply want to support our local produce growers, it’s about making Australia a sustainable place for the future. Along with another vital ingredient – being able to make a wholesome living.  

A report by Food Revolution says that “the rise of ‘craft’ across categories exemplifies many of the ‘mega-trends’ that are shaping the current generation of consumers.”

It’s no surprise. Craft is more authentic, and allows for consumers to tingle their tastebuds on bolder, more experimental flavours.

So everyone is certainly talking the talk. But who is actually walking the walk?

SumoSalad is stepping up to the plate by supporting local suppliers to craft healthy and delicious options in the quick service restaurant space.

Did you know that SumoSalad is one of the only food suppliers in the industry to capture consumer demand for ethical and sustainable supply chains?

When you become a SumoSalad franchisee, you can be certain that the flavour is just right!

Imagine buying a delicious, healthy lunch and actually seeing where came from? Ingredients right before your eyes?

Sumo’s Green Label franchise model is just a taste of how they practice what they preach. The store design and experience lives and breathes their ethos and values. The green and brown colour scheme, chalked signage, and vertical farm displays of fresh produce which are used in salads speak for themselves. 

And they’re not adding any fancy dressing to their supply chain and products – they’re being transparent about where are food is coming from, from the source to your stomach.

Free-range chicken, preservative free, and collaboration with local farmers – that’s where Sumo leads the market.

But today’s consumers are also health conscious and on-the-go. That’s why their broad range of healthy menu items include deliciously decadent wraps, Oz Harvest soups to salivate over, and moreish toasties. 

And it doesn’t just stop there.

Did you know the bread used in Sumo’s toasties is sourced from the Bread and Butter Project – the first non-profit bakery that only employs refugees?

Yes. Quick service restaurants can make a difference.

Yes. Quick service restaurants can practice ethical and sustainable practices.
