Competition continually seems to be squeezing my margins. How can Sprwt help?
The demand for healthy meals for on-the-go individuals who don’t have time to cook continues to rise. In response, more and more companies within the food industry are offering a range of meal-prep and food-delivery services.
Initially, food box services like Blue Apron and meal prep businesses could get away with charging premiums due to the lack of competition and technologies that would help drive down costs. More recently, grocery stores have joined the prepared meal business: Plated was acquired by Albertsons and Home Chef was acquired by Kroger.
When large organizations like Albertsons and Kroger get into a value field like Meal Prep, margins are sure to drop. Grocery stores typically operate at 1-2% margins, so when they see a 5% margin on pre-prepared meals, they get excited. For small businesses like local meal prep companies, a 5% bottom line does not generate enough money to keep the doors open. So, local meal prep companies have two options: try to accelerate growth in order to help scale, or figure out ways to cut costs. Both solutions have their inherent challenges — it takes money and resources to accelerate growth, and usually quality is sacrificed when cost-cutting measures are considered.
What if there was a way to increase operational efficiencies at low costs? For meal prep companies, the adoption of meal prep software is a viable (and welcome) alternative. Not only does a meal prep software increase efficiency by eliminating the amount of time owners/employees try to manage the business via spreadsheets, but also, the time gained by using a meal prep software allows the business owner to focus on growing the business in creative ways.
But how does Sprwt stand out compared to other meal-prep softwares? What makes us so special?
