BRZ Foodz Uses Digital Marketing and Technology to Grow Businesses in the Food Service Industry

Sep 20, 2026

BRZ Foodz Group, founded by entrepreneur Ricardo Rosa, applies digital marketing, technology, and consumer data to food-service businesses in the U.S. market.

Brooklyn, New York, United States, September 20, 2026 -- BRZ Foodz Group, a Brooklyn-based business group founded by Ricardo Rosa, is applying digital marketing, technology, and consumer research to the development and growth of food-service businesses in the United States.

Rosa, who serves as Founder and Head of Marketing, established the group after developing experience across digital marketing, technology, and food operations. His earlier entrepreneurial work included Vitamina Publicitária, a digital platform for marketing and advertising students and professionals that reached more than 500,000 users per month at its peak in 2009.

After moving to New York with his wife, Vanessa, Rosa began exploring opportunities within the U.S. food market. Initially, he focused on businesses specializing in Latin American cuisine, a segment he identified as underrepresented in certain areas of New York despite the presence of the Latino community and local interest in international food.

Digital-First Food Business Model

Rosa chose an unconventional strategy to test his thesis in the U.S. market: that digital marketing could reduce the initial risk and investment required to develop a business in the food service industry. The approach relied on digital campaigns and customer data to measure consumer response and identify which products and marketing messages were most effective at generating orders.

One of the projects Ricardo developed during this period was a delivery app focused on street food. The app recorded more than 10,000 downloads within three months and generated revenue during its initial phase of operation.

The business initially focused its marketing efforts on Latin American consumers, particularly Brazilian customers who were already familiar with the products offered through the app. The company later expanded its campaigns into areas of New York with lower concentrations of Brazilian residents, including parts of Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the Bronx.

According to Rosa, this phase was designed to measure how consumers outside the Brazilian community would respond to the products.

“We wanted to understand how Americans consume food. If it worked in Brooklyn, it could work anywhere,” Rosa said.

The customer profile subsequently changed, with approximately 95% of the company’s customers identified as American, according to the company. Rosa said the results demonstrated that the strategy could potentially serve as a useful tool for other businesses seeking to test products and markets before making larger investments.

Applying Marketing and Technology To Food Operations

The experience became the basis for BRZ Foodz Group's approach to food-business development. The group focuses on strategy, technology, and digital marketing, with its work covering areas such as customer acquisition, market testing, brand positioning, and operational development.

The company applies a digital-first process that allows food concepts to collect customer feedback and purchasing data before making larger infrastructure decisions. According to BRZ Foodz Group, this approach can reduce initial investment requirements by an estimated 30% to 50% compared with restaurant-first models, depending on the business and operating structure.

Artificial intelligence is also becoming part of the company's technology strategy. Rosa is incorporating AI-based tools for areas including customer analysis, marketing automation, forecasting, and workflow management. The technology is being used to support testing and measurement as food businesses evaluate products, audiences, and operational decisions.

Here’s why going for the sustainable option is the natural choice for self-care

Why make the shift to sustainable products? These days, “natural” and “eco-friendly” aren’t just buzzwords. They refer to resources that deliver results while being sourced and developed in ways that aim to protect both the planet and the skin.  For those who remain skeptical, science offers another perspective. The promise of natural products isn’t based solely on anecdotal evidence. Science-backed tests and research methods help determine which ingredients from nature can be effective for hair and skin. With the wealth of information available in today’s tech-forward world, the shift toward natural solutions is not only about sustainability but also effectiveness.  Naturals by Watsons offers a product line of gentle and sustainable formulations made with naturally derived ingredients. What is good for the skin can also be good for the planet. The brand follows its “Results Rooted in Nature” philosophy, delivering hair and skin solutions that make use of naturally available resources through responsible and sustainable methods.  The in-house brand of Watsons offers products categorized according to different “super ingredients,” each associated with specific benefits. This gives consumers the opportunity to find products based on their individual concerns while reducing unnecessary experimentation and confusing jargon. The products are formulated with ingredients that have been tested for efficacy and undergo continuous formulation testing.  The brand also states that the integrity of its ingredients makes its products generally suitable for expecting or breastfeeding mothers, although consumers are advised to consult their OB-GYN before using any personal care product during pregnancy or breastfeeding.  Naturals by Watsons carries four flagship hair care lines, each highlighting a key ingredient and the specific concerns it is formulated to address.  For dry and damaged hair, Naturals by Watsons offers its Argan Oil Shampoo and Argan Oil Conditioner. The duo is formulated with argan oil to help nourish and revitalize hair while supporting moisture, shine and elasticity. Complementing the pair is the Naturals by Watsons Argan Hair Oil, which provides lightweight, non-greasy nourishment for smooth, shiny-looking hair.  For thick and coarse hair, Naturals by Watsons Olive Shampoo and Olive Conditioner are formulated to provide lasting hydration, restore vitality and enhance shine. The Naturals by Watsons Olive Hair Oil completes the routine by helping seal split ends.  For scalp care, consumers can turn to the Naturals by Watsons Aloe Vera Shampoo and Aloe Vera Conditioner, which are positioned for anti-dandruff care. Made with 99 percent certified organic aloe vera, the products cleanse and nourish the hair, soothe the scalp and help keep hair smooth and hydrated. The Naturals by Watsons Aloe Hair Tonic complements the routine and is designed to support healthier-looking hair over time.  For consumers concerned about hair fall, Naturals by Watsons offers its Coffee Shampoo and Coffee Conditioner. The products contain caffeine, which is positioned to help revitalize the roots, as well as sesame oil for scalp moisture and Abyssinian oil to hydrate dry and brittle hair. The Naturals by Watsons Coffee Hair & Scalp Tonic features Baicapil and is positioned to address breakage-related hair loss and hair density.  Beyond hair care, Naturals by Watsons also offers skin and body care products designed to provide naturally derived solutions for everyday personal care needs. The range features ingredients such as rosemary, rose, lavender, ginger, tea tree, bakuchi and sakura for face and body care, with each formulation targeting different skin concerns.  The brand says its naturally derived ingredients are supported by science-based findings and are designed to deliver results with consistent use. Naturals by Watsons combines these ingredients with gentle formulations while maintaining its focus on sustainability.  Sustainability is incorporated into the brand’s sourcing, research, packaging and refill initiatives, combining environmental considerations with science-based product development.  With Naturals by Watsons, the brand continues to promote its philosophy, “Results Rooted in Nature: The Essence of Nature, Powered by Science.”  Naturals by Watsons products are available at more than 1,200 Watsons stores nationwide and through the Watsons App, with Express Delivery and Click & Collect options.
