Football Season Is Here!

Turning Football Season into Your Biggest Takeout Opportunity!

Football season is about more than filling stadium seats, it’s about feeding fans wherever they watch. From tailgates and backyard parties to living room watch parties, restaurants have an opportunity to go beyond traditional wings and pizza specials with convenient, shareable offerings.

Make Hosting Easy! Give customers everything they need for kickoff with ready-to-go meal bundles designed for groups of any size. Consider:

Tailgating Kits with burgers, hot dogs, sausages, rolls, condiments, and sides.
Nacho Kits with queso, proteins, toppings, and tortilla chips.
Wing Packages with multiple sauces, dips, carrots, and celery.
Charcuterie & Snack Boards for pre-game grazing.
Slider or Taco Bars for easy customization.
Dessert Trays featuring handheld favorites like cookies, brownies, cannoli, and fried Oreos.

Make entertaining even easier by including reheating instructions, disposable servingware, catering trays, and sturdy takeout containers.

But, not everyone wants to watch from home.

Turn your restaurant into a game day destination by giving customers something new to look forward to each week. Use the football schedule as inspiration for limited-time offerings (LTOs) based on the teams and cities playing. Highlight regional flavors, signature ingredients, and fan favorites to create specials that tie into each matchup. Think a Texas BBQ Burger for a Dallas game, a Philly Cheesesteak Egg Roll for an Eagles matchup, or team-colored desserts and drinks that get fans talking. Don’t forget about the NFL’s international games! These matchups are a great opportunity to explore global flavors and create menu specials inspired by the host country. Feature British pub favorites, German-inspired dishes, or Spanish flavors alongside your game day menu to give customers a taste of something different. Football season lasts for months, so keep the excitement going with rotating LTOs, rivalry week specials, international-inspired dishes, and playoff promotions that give customers a reason to come back week after week.
