You could say some of the best new prepared foodservice entrees, side dishes and snacks have 3D appeal—although you don’t need special movie theater glasses to appreciate them.

And then there’s a third dimension—the true reason that makes a new item stand out for customer and consumer. When it comes to prepared entrees, sides and snacks, that third dimension involves either a product’s appeal for unique flavor and form; its appeal to health benefits; and/or its appeal to operational convenience.
