Realistically - I actually don't see them cutting soft product further. The analysts were so off on the profit that they may indeed revisit the future forecasts.
But, I don't see right now how any Executive will make a business case for more soft product budget and make improvements - I also think they will seek out more partnerships like they've done with impossible meats where they've likely gotten significant discounts. They may also try another caterer/kitchen - that could help.
