According to Datassential, sandwiches are found on 73.2% of restaurant menus, ranking #2 on the list of most common entrees on menus today. And while there are multiple ingredients that make a sandwich great, from the meats and cheeses to the veggies, sauces, and condiments, equally important is the type of carrier you choose. The right bun can add flavor and put a new spin on a classic. But in today’s tight economic market, with a growing need to focus on efficiency and control costs, making homemade breads and buns has become too labor intensive for food service operators.
