Hot Honey is Sticking Around

At OLM, we’re always looking for ways to keep foodservice fresh, relevant, and craveable. Innovation is about more than new products — it’s about understanding what flavors people love and finding smart ways to bring them to life across every type of operation.

One flavor that continues to steal the spotlight? Hot Honey.

That sweet-and-spicy combo has gone from niche to mainstream, showing up on everything from chicken sandwiches and pizza to breakfast and dipping sauces.

According to Datassential, Hot Honey has seen a menu penetration increase of 111% since 2019 — and the momentum isn’t slowing down.

At OLM, we’ve been testing Hot Honey limited-time offers across a couple of our foodservice brands. Guests love the bold flavor, and operators love how easy it is to incorporate into existing menus.

Hot Honey proves that innovation doesn’t have to be complicated — sometimes it’s about taking a familiar favorite and giving it a fresh, flavorful twist.

If you’re looking for craveable flavor solutions that fit any format — from c-store to QSR to fast-casual — we’d love to connect. Reach out here.
