Slicing its own meat is the next step in 'fresh.'
"In five decades worth of sandwich making, we've explored many things, tested many things, tried many things," said Trevor Haynes, president of Subway North America, in an interview with the magazine."This is the natural next step of the evolution of the U.S. business and operations."
Currently, Subway has its meat sliced at an offsite processing facility, before it is shipped to the restaurants. Going forward, meats like turkey, ham, salami, and pepperoni will be sliced in the morning and evening on location, and customers will be able to see the process. And not only will the chain save money on ditching precut meat, but it will also be able to lower food costs by having more choices of whole meats available to purchase—something Haynes sees as a win-win."It allows us to work with other vendors," Haynes said."Inflation has eroded some [food cost] savings . . . But we should see some sort of savings in food costs for franchisees without increasing labor.
The new slicers are made by a German company named Bizerba and are fully automatic. And unlike at a traditional deli, all employees need to do is put the meat inside and press a button—a process that has gone smoothly at test restaurants so far.with its Eat Fresh Refresh campaign. The plan involved new bread recipes, new proteins, new sandwiches, and new toppings, including meats that are sliced more thinly., which rid its menu of customization—something the brand has long been associated with.
The sandwich chain has also teased bringing back some old favorites which were lost after the menu update.Amber Lake is a staff writer at Eat This, Not That! and has a degree in journalism from UNF in Jacksonville, Florida.
