A service that manages beverage supplier switches and co-branding rollouts for quick-service restaurant chains and their franchisees.
Co‑Branding & Supplier Transition Services for QSRs
KFC’s switch from Pepsi to Coca‑Cola is a time‑sensitive handoff across logistics, contracts and in‑store marketing that someone has to run. Celebrity rollouts like Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila, Publix naming a chief information and digital officer, and fuel costs remaining above $4 make co‑packing, retail tech integration and last‑mile planning more urgent.
