Recommended Soup Station Standards
•D
isplay bakery products in parchment-lined baskets – gives a fresh/hygienic
appearance.
• Provide tongs, spoons, etc. for fresh-baked and dry topping items.
• Display soup labels that include product ingredients.
• Price daily combos with 8-ounce soup, then try to upsell to a larger size soup.
•S
oups should be initially heated to at least 165 degrees F and then held (at
a self-service soup bar) between 140 degrees and 160 degrees F (per HACCP
guidelines).
•K
eep a full supply of bowls, containers, and lids available. Do not overstock;
replenish during service, as necessary.
Use these guidelines
as the foundation for
your customized soup
display. These tips are an
essential starting point to
build upon — to ensure
an appetizing display
that will keep customers
coming back.
• Provide three portion size options at minimum: 8-ounce, 12-ounce and 16-ounce.
•M
onitor soups to ensure quality. Keep the lid on to prevent evaporation. Stir
frequently during service times to prevent skin forming on the sides of the
container. Replenish soup if garnish has been depleted.
•U
se menu boards, signage, and point-of-purchase displays to bring attention to
the station.
• Bakery products must always be fresh; do not use day-old items.

Pricing Soups
Pricing is one of the most effective marketing tools. It promotes
the product’s image and drives customer demand and profits. It is
especially crucial to price soup effectively...
Campbell’s® Reserve
Kickin’ Crab & Sweet
Corn Chowder
21082
• Soup has a high customer value perception and low food
cost resulting in a greater than average profit-per-transaction.
• Price premium and specialty soups, such as bisques, stews,
chowders, and chili, at higher price points than standard or
light options, such as broth and cream-based soups.
Steps to Effective Pricing
STEP 1: build Station menus
Consider food production capabilities and product costs in
determining the menu items that will sell in your marketplace.
step 2: Conduct Competitive Analysis
Review competitor prices of similar products. Be sure to note the
portion and price of each item. Find like items in stores, restaurants,
or online. Evaluate at least one local and one national competitor.
step 3: Determine prices
step 4: Evaluate prices compared to
competitors’, based on the “5 Ps” of Pricing:
Product
Serving a larger portion of soup (12 or
16 ounces) combined with a discounted,
high-quality specialty cracker, or bakery
item, raises the perceived value to a
bonus while allowing for an “add-on”
price increase. You may also combine a
soup offering with a salad or sandwich.
More info on Soup Combos
Customers view this “soup combo” as
a wholesome and inexpensive meal
and are willing to pay for “luxury” in
their choice.
People
• How does the competitor’s product compare
to yours?
• Does the competition use suggestive selling?
• How is the product presented?
• Do they engage the customer?
• Is the product selling?
Price
• How does their pricing correspond to yours?
• What is their pricing strategy? (Combos, trade-up,
frequency program, value meals, etc.)
• Are they in professional uniform?
Promotion
• How do they advertise?
•H
ow do competitors promote their products?
(Combos, POS advertising/merchandising,

Place

Pricing Soups
Steps to Effective Pricing (continued)
step 5: Finalize prices based on your
location’s goals for profitability
Campbell’s® Reserve

• B
e sure that you understand your desired retail food cost
percentage, and what part your soup station plays in
the overall bottom line to determine if your pricing
strategy is sound.
• C
omparison-price the soup offerings against national chains,
restaurants, grocery/convenience stores and like competition
in your immediate area. Take note of combos in restaurant/café
environments. You may also utilize this guide’s Competitive
Pricing Analysis beginning on the next page.
• E
valuate your final price using what is sometimes called the
6th Pricing “P” – Psychological Pricing — or “Pricing to the 9’s.”1
It may sound strange, but research shows a psychological advantage
in “Pricing to the Nines.” Prices ending in an odd number will
increase the likelihood of customers making a purchase -- and prices
ending with the number 9 are so effective that they can outsell even
lower prices for the exact same products. Retailers have proven
that items “Priced to the 9’s” routinely outsell a lower price by
approximately 24%.
• How to price to the 9’s: an item you want to sell for $2.00
should become $1.99; $2.50 should become $2.49; $2.75
should become $2.79; $3.00 should become $2.99; etc.
• Pricing to the 9’s tends to trigger impulse purchasing through
perception of a bargain, deal or steal. Round your sell price up
or down to the closest “9”.
Pricing Q&A
Q: C
an I get more for this item in my
marketplace?
A: C
heck the competition and historical
sales data. Know the customer’s
“threshold price” – what the market
will bear.
Q: D
oes the product have a high
perceived value?
A: T he answer will ultimately influence
the customer’s buying decision.
Q: H
ow often should I review prices for
necessary adjustment?
A: At
least quarterly and/or each time
you introduce a new product.
• Customers are less likely to object to an increase in prices
that end in the number 9.

Soup as a Combo
Combos are a great way to build profitability. They present a wider array of choices for the
customer, encouraging them to try new options with a minimal price increase. At the end of
the day, your average check goes up — and so does your profit margin.
Combo Ideas: Try pairing soup with...
Campbell’s® Classic
Tomato Soup
00016
• Sandwiches
• Salads
• French fries
• Freshly-baked breads, biscuits, muffins, etc.
• O
ther soups – buy a 12-ounce soup for regular price
and get an 8-ounce cup for a discount
Combo Design and Pricing Strategies
Use your competition as your guide. There is usually a trade-up of portion size in the mix,
where price reduction on the whole combo may be as little as 5-10 percent. Ensure that
you will make equal or more profit from the combo than you would have without a combo.
(The profit increase is from selling a larger size and more items.) If customers usually
buy a medium soup, trade them up a large soup combo with sandwiches, fresh-baked
accompaniments or side salads.
• Sell a combination of products at a percentage off an item that complements soup
• Offer a bundle that adds soup to a meal for an overall discount
• Use the most popular items on the menu in combos to assure greater participation
