US-based sandwich restaurant chain Quiznos has launched its new globally inspired sandwich, the Big Fat Greek Sub, across all its restaurants in US and Canada.

Quiznos partnered with foodservice manufacturer Grecian Delight | Kronos to create the new sub.

By launching the Big Fat Greek Sub, the restaurant brand is bringing back the gyro-style recipe that Quiznos has offered since 2018.

Quiznos claims that the subs are made using certified halal, seasoned gyro meat with tzatziki sauce and other ingredients, including a blend of marinated tomatoes, cucumbers and red onions.

The subs are topped with lettuce and banana peppers and are served on a choice of artisan bread.

Quiznos culinary and innovation vice-president Mike Gieseman said: “At the height of summer with fall quickly approaching, we think it’s the perfect time of year to offer a hearty, crave-able protein paired with light and refreshing toppings that satisfy any and all guest cravings.

“We have always prided ourselves on introducing innovative menu offerings while delivering the signature Quiznos quality that we are known for and the Big Fat Greek Sub is a great example of that.”

In May this year, Quiznos added Kimchi Philly and Classic Philly subs to its menu offerings.

Kimchi is a staple Korean dish prepared with salted, seasoned and fermented cabbage.

Generative AI remains an untapped potential across the consumer industry

GlobalData estimates the total AI market will be worth $909 billion in 2030, growing at a CAGR of 35.2% between 2022 and 2030. The consumer goods, foodservice, and packaging sectors are undergoing digital transformation, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and changing consumer preferences. AI can help companies operating in these sectors by significantly reducing costs and production times. In Nestlé's 2022 full-year results, the company announced a renewed focus on digitalization to drive growth. Financial and reputational pressures associated with supply chain disruptions and sustainability concerns are also driving interest in the digitalization of supply chains. Data science and ML are strong investments across all areas. However, the sectors cannot stop at AI-powered data analytics applications. They must also explore computer vision (CV), smart robots, AI sensors that automate manufacturing and distribution logistics, and generative AI tools that increase efficiency across corporate departments and customer service operations and enable innovation in product design. For the most part, the consumer goods, foodservice, and packaging sectors will not play a significant role in creating and developing AI hardware or platforms. Instead, these sectors will help scale up the adoption of AI technologies, such as CV, conversational platforms, and smart robots. This adoption will be driven by the financial benefits and potential cost savings AI automation delivers across global supply chains.
