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.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s most successful restaurant brands increasingly recognize that packaging is something else entirely, it is part of the customer experience and their brands identity.<\/p>\n<p>That philosophy is driving growing interest in PleatPak, the world\u2019s first true structural innovation in foodservice packaging, now available to restaurant operators nationwide through US Foods Direct: <a title=\"PleatPak on US Foods Direct\" href=\"https:\/\/order.usfoods.com\/desktop\/search2?searchText=PleatPak&amp;correlationId=48357&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">PleatPak on US Foods Direct<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unlike conventional wraps or clamshells, PleatPak is a genuine game changer that was designed to optimise the guest experience and do \u2018justice\u2019 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.<\/p>\n<p>Customers feedback on the PleatPak is surprisingly rare in today\u2019s restaurant industry. Customers love PleatPak, talk about it and associate the experience with the restaurant brand that served them.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>That is one reason why Foodservice Industry Leaders publicly praising the PleatPak:<\/p>\n<p>PleatPak at Tasty Burger, a \u2018better burger\u2019 chain in Boston, (<a title=\"TastyBurger.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tastyburger.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">TastyBurger.com<\/a>) founder and CEO Dave Dubois shared his brand\u2019s experience with PleatPak:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy 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\u2019s unique spherical design and the way it perfectly forms around hamburgers creates a \u2018vehicle\u2019 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the iconic Madison Square Garden, \u201cThe World\u2019s Most Famous Arena.\u201d\u00a0New York legendary restaurateur Drew Nieporent creator of the Nobu restaurants and The Daily Burger (<a title=\"MyriadRestaurantGroup.com\/daily-burger\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.myriadrestaurantgroup.com\/daily-burger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MyriadRestaurantGroup.com\/daily-burger\/<\/a>) with five locations at MSG also appreciates the great impact PleatPak have on the brand:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPleatPak is our partner at Madison Square Garden. The\u00a0PleatPak is an amazing product which is both attractive and practical, and\u00a0Daily Burger would not be as successful without the PleatPak wrapper.\u201d Drew Nieperent.<\/p>\n<p>The same enthusiasm has been echoed by Lou Bastian, Senior Vice President of Culinary \u2013 Sports &amp; Entertainment Division at Levy Restaurants, (<a title=\"LevyRestaurants.com\/what-we-do\/sports-entertainment\" href=\"https:\/\/www.levyrestaurants.com\/what-we-do\/sports-entertainment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">LevyRestaurants.com\/what-we-do\/sports-entertainment<\/a>) whose organization serves millions of guests annually at over 350 venues, emailed this to all venues:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI consider this PleatPak a best practice for burgers.
