One week, one 'usual': a QSR LTO built entirely from existing menu items

Through October, Taco Bell is featuring three celebrities' go-to orders, each available for one week at $4, with $1 offers on Tuesdays in its app, per Nation's Restaurant News. Each bundle uses existing items, such as a Beef Burrito Supreme, Crunchy Taco and medium fountain drink.

Why it matters for directors: A named weekly combo creates a promotion with no new SKUs or training. Try a rotating 'Principal's Usual' or 'Coach's Usual' built from your current menu.
