Gain perspective into your product categories' performance on the menu with Menu Intelligence Reports
What is a Menu Intelligence Report?
Menu Intelligence Reports provide you with an in-depth analysis of your product categories' usage on menus from an array of perspectives. Because of the extensive level of detail recorded by the MenuMine Database, we are able to report on a multitude of traits including patterns by menu part, cuisine of item, protein type, market segment as well as associated foods and flavors. Menu Intelligence Reports generally consist of 30 to 50 tables and graphs in PowerPoint format. Subscribers to MenuMine get the added benefit of accessing MenuMine Custom Queries in order to track and build on the data development process.
Unique and Exclusive Data Fields
Menu Intelligence Reports draw on current menu information from chains and independent restaurants around the country. Results are projectable to the entire foodservice universe. When an item is entered in to the MenuMine database, each characteristic is parsed into as many as 75 unique fields of data. With a Menu Intelligence Report, depending on the topic, we can break down your products performance by any of the components below.
Flavor Enhancers (sauces, dressings, glazes, marinades, condiments, dipping sauces, seasonings, stuffing, topping, spread)
Ingredients (bread/wraps, cheese, batters/breadings, cooking oil, carbos, veggies, fruit, protein)
Applications (butter use, egg use, potato use, rice use, fish/seafood species)
Statistical Measures may include (where relevant) leading item menu share, category incidence, items per chain menuing, market size projector and menu price.
Same Store analysis provides a benchmark view versus five years ago, even though continuous trending may go back ten years.
