A signature beverage program is an imperative for a number of foodservice segments today. Craft cocktails, creative flavor combinations and unique offerings have become the expectation for a growing swath of consumers. “You don’t see new restaurant concepts that only offer up traditional, expected drinks,” says Robert LeSage, Corporate Chef for Haliburton International Foods, a specialty foods processor. “To gain a competitive edge, you want people buzzing about your beverage program. Restaurant brands have to invest in it. Margins are really high so it’s worth that investment.”
