In today’s fast-paced retail environment, grocery stores and meat processors face twin challenges: labor shortages and the constant need to meet consumer demand for convenience and quality. How can you drive profitability under these pressures?

Excalibur’s Proper Portions Program is the answer. It’s an effective turnkey solution to these pain points, transforming how fresh proteins are seasoned, managed, and sold.

“What makes Proper Portions so attractive to our retail and processing customers is its versatility,” says John Brewer, VP of Sales & Marketing. “Ready-to-use items are proving to be game-changers for back-of-house operations.”

Driving Operational Efficiencies

Using pre-measured seasoning units, the program streamlines operations, moving flavor applications from a labor-intensive, imprecise task to a quick, standardized process for meat, seafood, deli, and produce.

• Reduced Labor Hours – Seasoning becomes fast and consistent, freeing up skilled staff for other essential tasks within daily store operations.
• Controlled Waste – Proper Portions guarantees batch control. Pre-measured packets eliminate guesswork, significantly reducing shrink.
• Enhanced Food Safety – Single-use packets ensure no cross-contamination. Once seasoning is dispensed, the packet is thrown away.
• Useful Applications – The pre-portioned flavors are perfect for customizing meat blocks in behind-the-glass displays and self-service counters.

The Path to Customer Loyalty

Proper Portions is a powerful tool for driving sales, inspiring customer satisfaction, and generating repeat business.

• Consistency is King – Ensure a reliable taste experience every time, giving customers a flavorful product they can trust.
• Customization and Branding – Include your desired branding on the seasoning packet to drive recognition with every purchase.
• Limited-Time Offer (LTO) Options – Keep your customers engaged throughout the year by rotating fresh, seasonal flavors.
• Retail Sales Potential – Create opportunities for additional sales streams by building branded flavor profiles that customers can purchase for home use.

From reducing shrink and labor costs to guaranteeing a consistently delicious product, Excalibur’s Proper Portions program offers an undeniable competitive advantage.
