Family Express Unveils Cravin’s To Order Food Service Offering

VALPARAISO, INDIANA – Family Express is announcing the unveiling of its new made to order hot food service offering, labeled Cravin’s To Order.  Cravin’s To Order features made to order breakfast sandwiches and an exciting upscale, customizable/MTO pizza offering.

This initiative has been in development with the consulting assistance of the Moseley Group, based out of Franklin, MA, known for their innovative, non-traditional foodservice outlooks.  With their collaboration, Cravin’s To Order will allow a customer to place an order from multiple ordering kiosks, online, or via mobile app.  When fully developed, the Family Express application will also allow a customer to place an order from the FE central bakery and have it delivered at a later date to a customer’s store of choice.

The new Cravin’s To Order pizza menu includes a variety of new signature items, such as the Six-Cheese Garlic Pizza, Mediterranean Pizza, BBQ Bacon Chicken Pizza, and a Breakfast Pizza.  A customer will even be able to tailor a slice to their liking, by using one of two ordering kiosk

The deployment of Cravin’s To Order is synchronized with the rebranding of Family Express store interiors designed to bring focus on food service.  “The family of our proprietary brands has evolved over decades of marketing, but they existed in silos as opposed to speaking with one voice,” said Gus Olympidis, President and CEO of Family Express.  Cravin’s To Order will be featured in the company’s three new-to-industry locations opening in the month of November, and will migrate to the other locations that have the appropriate demographic and parking credentials
