In addition to increasing convenience for customers, the new feature also expands the brand's presence beyond the regions where there are no physical stores yet, thus accelerating the possibilities of reaching new audiences by offering a menu recognized for its variety and freshness of ingredients, and delivering the gastronomic experience of the stores directly to consumers' tables, as explained by Firehouse Subs' CMO, Daniel Packness.
"In this new sales channel, our customers can check out our offers and the menu filled with highlights, which can now be ordered online, and will reach the customer following the same standard of excellence as our stores. They will be prepared with high-quality ingredients inside a crispy bun on the outside and soft on the inside, with extra care to maintain the unique flavor and provide enjoyable experiences," he detailed.
Still according to the executive, before adopting the model, the company structured a logistics framework to ensure a swift and efficient service journey.
“We took care when developing the packaging to ensure the quality of delivery of the sub in the same way that the consumer would pick it up directly at our counter. With the opening of this new channel, we provide our customers with the convenience of receiving Firehouse Subs at their homes, as well as offering an opportunity for new audiences, who have not yet had the chance to experience our subs, to try them.”
The CMO also notes that, in addition to delivering convenience and practicality, the launch of the new service is also a strategic milestone for Firehouse Subs in Brazil.
“Our focus has always been to offer products of excellence, and with this new operation, we ensure that even more people can have access to the quality and unmistakable flavor of our subs. It is an important step to strengthen our connection with consumers and accelerate our growth.”
The delivery service, according to Packness, is already available on iFood and will soon be available on other platforms – initially for the Guarulhos region, on a trial basis, before being made available to other areas.
