GUIDE FOR CHURRO SHOPS · TAKEAWAY SALES
Takeaway at the churrería: the channel that drives your business
Takeaway is already the main sales channel for many churro shops. Discover how to optimise the experience for your customers… and for your bottom line.
It’s Sunday, and the takeaway queue for churros stretches around the corner. The first coffees of the day, grease-proof paper bags, hot chocolate in sealed containers, and families who don’t want to wait for a table. Sound familiar? Takeaway is not an add-on: it is an essential sales channel. Manage it well and you can double your turnover without extending your premises.
At a fair, in a food truck or in a traditional café, customers are looking for something to take home or to the office. A good solution for serving and packaging the order is what separates a one-off sale from a customer who comes back every week.
Takeaway: much more than fairs and fiestas
Whatever your format, demand for churros to go keeps growing — in kiosks, food trucks, fairground stalls and cafés alike. Abroad there is a strong takeaway culture; in Spain, the opportunity to combine a to-go offer with dine-in service is a real advantage…
as long as your packaging keeps up. And that is the key: it is not enough to make the best churro — you have to make sure it arrives in perfect condition and looking its very best.
Packaging: an ally, not an expense
The key is to make things easy and pleasant for the customer. The right packaging doesn’t just showcase your product: it makes upselling possible. Grease-proof bags, sealed containers, the Churrobox or paper cones are the allies that turn a one-off sale into an experience the customer wants to repeat.
“The Churrobox was essential during the pandemic to keep our sales going. Customers felt the quality was intact even though they couldn’t sit down.”
Presentation and profitability: numbers that add up
- Up to 60% of turnover can come from takeaway in the best-performing shops.
- Sales of extras (chocolate, toppings) grow by around 40% when the packaging makes it easy.
- Customers who enjoy the takeaway experience come back 60% more often.
All of this translates into a much healthier bottom line… without changing your recipe — only changing how you present it and hand it over.
