Add these 5 trends to the sandwich menu to help sales soar

Sometimes, the sandwich options restaurants are offering leave a little something to be desired; while many consumers are content to stick to the tried-and-true favorites, nearly half of consumers say they’d like to see a wider variety of sandwich options on the menu, according to Technomic’s Sandwich report.

Panda Express transforms its signature Original Orange Chicken into a plant-based dish

Beyond The Original Orange Chicken is debuting at select locations in New York and California.

Taste Tracker: New sandwiches arrive at Jimmy John’s, Firehouse Subs, Newk’s and more; tacos get a flavor twist at Torchy’s; Bennigan’s and Abuelo’s cool off with cocktails; summer comes in a bowl at Daphne’s, Modern Market and Metro Diner; and sweet treats star on several menus.

The chicken chain will take “the quality and flavors” of its now-famous chicken sandwich and put them into “poppable” form later this month.

Chef John Li and his team had to deliver on the chain’s “fast food done right” pillars—a mission that prolonged the R&D process. The Spicy Black Bean Burger is the result.

Wraps come on the menu for the first time as the sandwich chain ramps up LTO launches.

Foodservice operators can now offer the plant-based tenders as a chicken alternative.

Sweetgreen’s co-founders and Alinea Chef Grant Achatz are among those who helped the company complete a $50 million funding round.

The sandwich giant is upgrading its bread and several ingredients in what the company is calling a long-term brand refresh.

Taste Tracker: Taco Bell fans the flames; thighs arrive at Golden Chick; Pollo Tropical goes Cuban; and hand-muddled lemonades refresh Lemonade’s drink lineup.
