Breaking News! PleatPak Now on US Foods Direct!

(Restaurant News Release)  Walk into almost any fast casual restaurant or QSR today and you’ll notice remarkable innovation. Yet one of the most important guest touchpoints has remained unchanged for generations. The way burgers and sandwiches are wrapped and packaged. For years, with poor choice of packaging has been treated primarily as a cost to manage.

Today’s most successful restaurant brands increasingly recognize that packaging is something else entirely, it is part of the customer experience and their brands identity.

That philosophy is driving growing interest in PleatPak, the world’s first true structural innovation in foodservice packaging, now available to restaurant operators nationwide through US Foods Direct: PleatPak on US Foods Direct

Unlike conventional wraps or clamshells, PleatPak is a genuine game changer that was designed to optimise the guest experience and do ‘justice’ to the food. Its proprietary pleated design structure keep burgers and sandwiches warm longer, provide portability, much cleaner to eat with and unmatched enjoyable consumption, whether guests are dining in, taking food to go, ordering through delivery platforms or simply eat on-the-go.

Customers feedback on the PleatPak is surprisingly rare in today’s restaurant industry. Customers love PleatPak, talk about it and associate the experience with the restaurant brand that served them.

Restaurants invest millions of dollars building memorable brands. Yet one of the final physical interactions every guest has with that brand is the packaging. A great meal deserves packaging that reinforces the overall experience. PleatPak transforms that final interaction into another opportunity to delight your guests. Instead of the same-old wrapping or boxing food, PleatPak becomes part of the product itself.

That is one reason why Foodservice Industry Leaders publicly praising the PleatPak:

PleatPak at Tasty Burger, a ‘better burger’ chain in Boston, (TastyBurger.com) founder and CEO Dave Dubois shared his brand’s experience with PleatPak:

“My customers love this packaging. They endlessly write reviews, posts, tweets, and videos; they ask for wrappers to take home with them. No other packaging has ever had such a profound effect on our guests. The combination of PleatPak’s unique spherical design and the way it perfectly forms around hamburgers creates a ‘vehicle’ to eat out of, providing a pleasant experience for consumers. Nothing holds heat without getting soggy better. This is because of the built-in steam release chimney. It protects the burger better than a hard-sided clamshell, and it is the coolest-looking wrapper around. With its small footprint, it is easy to store and quick to teach to employees. There are a myriad of reasons why there is no better solution to wrap a burger. Employees can wrap a burger in a split second, operators can train a novice to wrap like an expert in ten wraps, and restaurants can store 500 wrappers in a space smaller than a tissue box. There are very few times a product blends form and function perfectly. I have come across no packaging in our 13 years in business that is more innovative and useful than PleatPak. It is without equal.”

At the iconic Madison Square Garden, “The World’s Most Famous Arena.” New York legendary restaurateur Drew Nieporent creator of the Nobu restaurants and The Daily Burger (MyriadRestaurantGroup.com/daily-burger/) with five locations at MSG also appreciates the great impact PleatPak have on the brand:

“PleatPak is our partner at Madison Square Garden. The PleatPak is an amazing product which is both attractive and practical, and Daily Burger would not be as successful without the PleatPak wrapper.” Drew Nieperent.

The same enthusiasm has been echoed by Lou Bastian, Senior Vice President of Culinary – Sports & Entertainment Division at Levy Restaurants, (LevyRestaurants.com/what-we-do/sports-entertainment) whose organization serves millions of guests annually at over 350 venues, emailed this to all venues:

“I consider this PleatPak a best practice for burgers. Good price and holds the product perfectly. Let’s move toward implementing wherever possible asap!”
