OREO Ice Cream Sandwich SOP
This new item can be easily added to your menu with
minimal prep work. The OREO wafers are shelf-stable and require no baking. OREO
wafers come in 2.5” or 3” diameter size. You can decide which you prefer or use
the one that your distributor carries in stock.
Helpful hint: OREO is required to be spelled in all caps
according to their branding guide. Any display or menu board should have OREO
written properly in caps.
·
Call your supplier/distributor and find out if
they carry the OREO wafers and in which size. The 2.5"
OREO Wafer Info Sheet and the 3"
OREO Wafer Info Sheet that your supplier may want are linked here for you
to download and send to them.
·
Ask them if they carry either of these in stock.
If they do, go with that size. If they don’t carry either on hand, they will be
able to bring either size in for you but lead time will increase.
·
Find out the lead time on ordering and ask them
for their best pricing.
·
Having them out in front of customers will
increase sales, especially if you put them at the front of the ordering line.
·
Graphics and collateral just for the OREO
sandwiches has been designed and is available on the Print Store for use.
·
The cookies can be displayed in a display case
along with your waffle bowls without the ice cream in them. The customer can
choose their ice cream and you can create the sandwich.
·
The ice cream sandwiches can also be premade,
packaged in clear packaging, and stored in a display freezer (if you have one).
This makes it easy for customers to quickly grab.
·
Customers will order the flavor of ice cream
that they desire to go with their OREO wafers.
·
Make and freeze ice cream as normal, it must be frozen
to a stiff but scooping consistency. The ice cream can’t be too soft or frozen
too hard (where it becomes crumbly and impossible to scoop).
·
Use gloves when handling the wafers and
sandwiches.
·
For the 2.5” wafer size, scoop two ounces of ice
cream on one 2.5” wafer. Place the other wafer on top and carefully push in the
middle of both cookies to gently “smoosh” the ice cream evenly to the edges without
breaking the wafers.
·
For the 3” wafer size, scoop a mounded 2 oz scoop of ice cream for each sandwich. Assemble
same as above.
·
Serve in a wax
paper bag or sheet. The wax paper is inexpensive and a logo sticker can be added.
·
Price it out at around the typical 25-30% food
cost.
·
You can sell the cookies in groups or singles.
