David Henley always fries in David Henley has run a successful, award winning fish and chip shop for over 15 years. His secret is simple, to produce great tasting fish and chips every time. To achieve this, David has built up a store of knowledge as to which are the best ingredients to use and in particular which frying medium will deliver consistent results every time ...and that frying medium is Frymax. He knows that Frymax is pure white sustainable premium palm, made from the highest quality raw materials. And that there is none better at giving long lasting performance, which is so important in the current economic climate. Frymax has rightly earned the reputation as the number one cooking oil. It is as good today as it was when launched all those years ago. David Henley recognises its worth and the role Frymax plays in making his fish and chips taste really great.

= Since we introduced the white Superpad to the frying trade in 2003 we have continually worked with the manufacturer to achieve what we considered the perfect solution for cooking oil/fat filtration. After extensive research, development, testing and comparisons we are so impressed with results using the new SuperSorb CarbonPad. We intend to offer the new version as an updated alternative, alongside the white product. Activated carbon was chosen as the "active" agent due to its large reactive and adsorptive surface area. It has thousands of interconnected graphite-based platelets, which create interior channels, holes, and pockets. This increased adsorptive capacity over other filter types, results in a filter media that achieves superior particulate and organic contaminant removal. Each level teaspoon of activated carbon particles exceeds the surface area of a football field.

Fast & Healthy Chicken Burgers Burgers remain king according to Horizons data from winter 2015. The market research company which tracks foodservice market trends report that beef burgers remain the UK’s favourite out of home meal followed in second place by pizza and in third place are chicken burgers. The recent troubled economic climate has not stopped people from eating out of the home but it has influenced what they choose to eat and this has been a positive result for the burger sector

B

urgers and any hand held hot snack are perfect for fast food caterers to exploit the UK consumer love affair with burgers. Chicken burgers have become very popular as a healthier alternative to

beef burgers due to their low fat content and come in at an average £1 cheaper than beef burgers. Riverside Food Services have been producing premium quality chicken products since 1983.

Their chicken

burgers are available in 57g, 85g and 113g (quarter pound) sizes to suit large and small appetites and coated in a choice of crispy batter, golden breadcrumb, southern fried breadcrumb or a hot n spicy breadcrumb to satisfy all tastes. Available in wholesale bulk and cater size packs with a five-way cook from frozen in minutes, Riverside’s chicken burgers offer quick and easy preparation for busy caterers. Riverside’s products are individually quick frozen so caterers can grab only what they need from the freezer with no wastage.

They said if someone were able to match the sauce they painstakingly make from scratch they’d use it. Although it was a challenge Crucials had to have a go. Working closely with kebab house owners, one month later Kebab House Chilli was born, and with a unique flavour profile and an exclusive spice blend this thick-bodied, high quality sauce is now available for purchase. It is a must have for anyone serving kebabs across the country. At the same time Crucials were developing a Tartare sauce. Many customers had enquired why Crucials have 34

Pan’ Artisan have the bread solution for your menu Continental and ethnic breads are trending and the speciality bread and bakery sector is flourishing as today’s consumers seek more choice, are more adventurous in what they will try and are generally more educated in terms of provenance, quality ingredients and authenticity 37

Fastfood Professional • May and June 2017

A

s an award winning specialist producer of frozen, full and partbaked dough-based products for the foodservice industry, Pan’Artisan distinguishes itself as a producer of genuinely handcrafted baked goods, using the finest natural ingredients. Their

range includes dough balls, pizza bases and speciality breads using traditional methods and innovative recipes. Pan’Artisan works closely with its customers sharing knowledge and expertise to develop menu solutions specific to a business’s needs and can provide bespoke bakery services when required. Pan’Artisan’s extremely versatile Focaccia Romana is a popular addition to the portfolio. Originally produced in central Italy, over time Focaccia Romana has spread throughout the country, with regional variations, as its popularity has grown. It is created from simple dough, using a high protein, ‘00’, Italian flour with a 92% liquid to flour ratio, which produces an extremely light, open structured bread that is easily digestible and stays fresher for longer. During its production it undergoes many stages of hand-crafting as it is too difficult to handle the dough by machine, before it is rested and proved. This results in a product which captures all of the features of classic, Italian bread, now available frozen for the ultimate in convenience. Easy to use, this deliciously Italian bread can be ready to eat in minutes; once thawed and baked it can either be served the Italian way, as a cold, open sandwich; used as an alternative filled sandwich carrier; or topped and baked in the oven as a hot snack or pizza with a difference. It is so tasty, it can even be eaten simply plain, as an accompaniment to cold meats, cheeses, soups, salads and a host of other dishes. Pan’Artisan’s newly launched Artisan Speciality Bread range ticks all the boxes in terms of consumers’ and caterers’ needs, offering a selection of gourmet breads. Created from fine quality, carefully sourced ingredients, the six varieties of delicious breads cater to many styles of service and offer an adaptable and easy to use product encompassing many uses; be that a breakfast or teatime treat, authentic deli sandwich carrier, as part of a sharing platter, for dips or as an accompaniment to a meal. Richard Jansen, Managing Director, Pan’Artisan; “In keeping with the emerging and growing trend for versatile, food-on-the-go and casual dining options, and taking into consideration the merging of meal time occasions, we have launched a range of Artisan Speciality Breads, perfectly suited to a variety of meal situations and service styles, whether take out, snack or full service.” •

Green Olive or Black Olive and Pepper bread sticks, a high ratio of premium quality Spanish olives, encased in a light, crispy rustic bread, providing a great sandwich carrier, pre-dinner or sharing bread.

Fresh Onion bread sticks with a light texture and fragrant onion taste, ideal for an aromatic, tasty sandwich carrier or simply warmed as part of a cheese platter or sharing dish.

Rustic Bread with Bell Peppers – incorporating fresh baby bell peppers, great as a carrier or with dips.

Multi Cereal Bread Sticks containing a mix of grains and cereals, light in texture, rich in flavour and aroma. A perfect breakfast bread or snack; try using lighter fillings for a healthy option.

• Mini Raisin Bread Sticks providing a naturally sweet and healthier alternative to cakes or patisserie. This bread is slightly smaller in size, so makes a wonderful snack or teatime treat, a great choice for younger consumers.

as being popular during 2017 as well.” Burgers and similar items can be ‘pimped up’ in a range of ways. Try adding a portion of mac ‘n’ cheese on top of the burger for maximum wow factor and visual appeal, or pretzels or nachos for extra crunch and texture, or a grilled pineapple ring topped with caramelised onions for a sweet/savoury flavour explosion, suggested Gordon. There are also different cheeses, such as feta, manchego, Parmesan or blue cheese, that could be used, or different sauces, such as bacon marmalade, hummous, satay or even jam or honey, which tap into another 2017 trend, the popularity of sweet flavours for savoury foods. Another idea for gourmet fast food products is to add different vegetables or salads, such as avocado, red cabbage slaw, spinach or sweetcorn. “Caterers can tap into their imaginations and use artisan breads in novels ways other than by filling as well – why not use as the base for ‘posh’ pizzas?” added Gordon.

It’s all to do with the interaction of you and the customer. Selling food in your shop is a must but how you up-sell and make more profit is an art form called “marketing”. This is not just telling customers what you do – it is persuading them to spend more money which the industry classes as “up-selling” whilst they experience a more modern, up to date environment. Today’s consumer is also more interested in where there product comes from such as “locally sourced items” and “Healthy Options”. They also want to know what your business ethos is such as history and nostalgia. To do all the above can be a time consuming exercise or can clutter the shop with information.

SimpleOrder makes ordering simple and pricing a doddle It wasn’t long ago that most restaurants were performing all of their back of house operations using paper and spreadsheets. Most purchasing was done through phone calls, inventory was manually recorded and pricing menus was a guessing game. As other industries around the world were digitizing all of their operations, including the restaurant dining room by using a POS system, the restaurant kitchen was trapped in the throes of the past.

T

he idea of drone deliveries isn’t exactly brand new. The idea has been kicking around for some time – mainly in part to the likes of companies like Amazon who’s vision for this innovative approach initially came from the skies. Indeed, when Domino Pizza decided that this was “up” their street as well, their initial concepts were above our heads too but now they’ve back on

ground zero Having partnered with London-based robot-development company Starship Technologies. The Pizza giants have unveiled plans to deliver pizzas using unmanned vehicles in selected Dutch and German cities. The initiative comes from Domino’s Robotic Unit, which has previously delivered pizzas with robots and drones in New Zealand. Starship Technologies has also signed a partnership with Just Eat, to deliver meals in the Greenwich area in London.

Out-of-home Tea consumption underperforms

D

rinking Tea has been for a long time part of the very fabric of British culture with over 15 million cups every day in the UK., but the majority of this UK staple as always been consumed at home or at work.

Sales in the UK tea consumed out-of-home category are

underperforming against the wider coffee shop market value, according to Tea Out-Of-Home 2017 - the latest report in the Project Café UK Series by Allegra World Coffee Portal. Although sales of tea in coffee shops continue to rise, the growth is predominantly driven by an increase in price and by the growth of the coffee shop sector as a whole, rather than increased consumer participation. The UK coffee shop sector increased by 12% in turnover to reach £8.9 billion in 2016, with the low performing tea out-of-home category contributing £308 million to the total sales. The tea category currently accounts for 3.8% of the total coffee shop market turnover, declining in sales share from 4.1% in 2015. Consumers drink on average 9 cups of tea per week at home, 3 at work and less than 1 cup (0.65) per week in coffee shops. A recent consumer study conducted by Allegra World Coffee Portal, shows that Brits simply prefer tea the way they make it at home, with nearly a third of consumers stating that coffee shops do not make a cup of tea to their taste. 22% of the consumers surveyed also claimed that the tea available out-ofhome presents poor value for money. This has increased by 6% since 2014, as better tea offers have not kept pace with rising prices. Coffee shops have tried to add value to get consumers turned on to their tea offer by adding speciality and iced tea categories. What this research clearly shows is that in contrast to coffee menus, the secret to strong tea sales is simply to be able to make it as good as your customers’ mum, dad or partner can make it!

A

t the IFE in London back in March, two new branded Energy Drinks were showcased to the UK market. Curly & Smooth Licensing & Trading are looking to find a

distribution partner and bring to the UK market what they’ve already rolled out into France, Spain, Germany, the Middle East and Australia. Refreshing and fruity with Vitamin B and balanced with caffeine, Popeye Energy Drink tastes like a fresh and crunchy green apple – both sweet and sour, this green sparkling drink gives you hero power following Popeye’s daily intake of spinach. Superman is less sweet and also apple flavoured and is unique and different in taste of what you might know of other Energy Drinks. Less sweet and tangy you can get your extra portion of energy at work, sports, leisure time or enjoy the drink with friends. Both drinks and their characters imply super powers at first sight. CSLT believe it’s very easy and self explanatory to recognise what these drinks are about. Superman is characterized as being faster than a bullet and more powerful than a locomotive. Popeye has a tender heart but can dish out strong punches as well. The same goes for the respective Energy Drinks. Produced and bottled in Austria these products provide high quality standard. Curly & Smooth Licensing & Trading acquired the rights to produce Energy Drinks branded with Superman

and Popeye and supply their distributors with various marketing and POS material like shop displays, coolers, T-Shirts, stickers - all approved by the license holders. For more info and contact details visit them at www.superman-energydrink.com https://www.facebook.com/supermandrink/?fref=ts https://www.instagram.com/supermandrink/ www.popeye-energydrink.com https://www.facebook.com/popeyedrink/?fref=ts or get in touch directly at info@cs-licensing.de

Shuker commented, “We have a clear strategy, incredible people and outstanding franchise partners, so are well placed to continue accelerating our growth and building our incredible culture over the coming years.” Back in 2012, sister brand Pizza Hut announced that it would create 100 new franchised restaurants and last year the franchisor doubled down on this strategy by unveiling plans to invest £40m in creating an additional 200 franchise stores by 2020.

Despite multiple drawer openings, food spoilage is negligible All the energy saving benefits of award winning ‘Hold the Cold’ technology with easy access and fast hygienic cleaning
