Jazzed out Deli (JOD) began as a family owned small restaurant in Boerne, TX. The menu consists of cold sandwiches, soups, salads, and fruit. Jazzed out Deli also includes organic foods in their menu. The menu caters to nutrition conscious customers by providing a wide variety of low carb, and low calorie items. They also cater to customer requests by preparing “specialized” sandwiches as ordered by customers. Because Jazzed out Deli was the only deli of its kind in the town of Boerne, business began to grow. The family opted for opening a second deli in San Antonio, TX and a third in Floresville, TX. Their goal was to become known for preparing the “best sandwiches in town”. Soon after opening the second deli in San Antonio, Jason’s Deli, a chain restaurant entered the market of San Antonio.
Jason’s Deli is a large chain restaurant who has won numerous awards from Consumers Choice of Healthy Restaurants. Jason’s Deli also has a larger menu, spends more in advertising, has an on-line presence, provides catering, and delivers food. It was not long before Jazzed Out Deli realized that it was losing its customers to Jason’s Deli. The San Antonio restaurant began to suffer the consequences of lost business.
