Large food companies such as Nestle, Kraft Heinz and Conagra are increasingly looking to restaurant brands to complement their portfolios.
The decision to partner with a restaurant brings immediate brand recognition, familiarity and innovation. It also provides an easy way to make your food and beverage products stand out on crowded shelves. Additionally, food brands can profit when restaurants advertise on TV, in newspapers, and on social media.
Nestlé, for example, licenses the California Pizza Kitchen brand from a privately held restaurant chain. Kraft Heinz is one of the largest food companies to enter the restaurant space through successive partnerships with Taco Bell, Benihana and TGI Fridays.
Even Conagra, best known for Healthy Choice, Birds Eye and Swiss Miss, already has a presence in this category. Conagra acquired PF Chang’s Skillet Meals from Unilever in 2012.
