New Menus On January 24th, we launched a menu refresh across all our locations for the hot entrée station, breakfast station, and salad bar. The entrée station now features a Mindful by Sodexo entrée plate four times a week during lunch, which features a lean center of the plate protein with healthful sides that is 600 calories or less. For more info about the Mindful program, check it out online here. Each Mindful plate sign features the ingredients, nutrition, a photo of the plate, and a MyFitnessPal barcode. We introduced new breakfast specials featured each morning and a new Beyond Meat Breakfast Gravy. The salad bar now rotates four new Seasons themes that incorporate featured toppings and composed salads. These themes include Mediterranean, Southwestern, Asian, and Italian.

January LTOs * Plant-based and/or Mindful offers
*Teriyaki Tofu Wrap Transactions: 62 Sales: $356
Nashville Style Hot Chicken Sandwich Transactions: 193 Sales: $936.05
Limited Time Offers We continuously build variety into our menus by offering limited-time offers (LTOs) at our deli, grill, pizza, and graband-go stations. Last month we provided statistics on how the variety throughout the year includes upwards of 35% healthy offers and these LTOs are no different, with two of the LTOs being plant-based and two from our Mindful recipe collection. Below you can see a comparison of January’s LTO’s transactions compared to the last time they ran. A majority performed similarly, except for the usual favorite, the Nashville-Style Hot Chicken Sandwich. We will evaluate and continue to make changes as our Airmen let us know what they want to purchase.
