C-store foodservice is entering a new era and the bar keeps rising. In conversation with Gray Taylor, Executive Director at Conexxus, as he breaks down a shift we’re seeing across the industry. C-stores aren’t just competing with each other anymore, they’re competing with QSR powerhouses like Chick-fil-A, Wendy’s, and McDonald’s. And winning requires more than great food. It demands: Connected data, Consistent execution and Technology that meets consumers where they already are. At Upshop, we believe the retailers who modernize now will lead the next decade of foodservice, unifying production, recipes, inventory, and digital ordering in one connected platform. 🎥 Watch the full insight clip below, and read the full breakdown here: https://lnkd.in/gvw2Xrcb

Labeling shouldn’t slow your stores down or put your pricing, compliance, or customer trust at risk. But for many, it still does. Multiple scale brands. Disconnected printers. Manual updates. Constant regulatory changes. It adds complexity, cost, and opportunities for mistakes that are easy to miss until they become expensive. That’s why we built Upshop Labeling, a connected solution inside Upshop 360 that keeps pricing, product data, inventory, and labeling fully in sync across every department and every store. Whether you're managing fresh, deli, bakery, center store, or private label, consistency matters. Accuracy matters. Time savings matter. When all your systems speak the same language, your teams finally get the time and clarity they need to focus on what truly moves the needle: delivering quality, building trust, and serving guests faster. 👉 See how labeling fits into a fully connected store platform: https://hubs.li/Q03TPNwM0 #Upshop360 #RetailInnovation #GroceryTech #ConvenienceRetail #FoodserviceOps #SmartRetail #LabelingSolutions #ConnectedStoreOperations
