Beyond food

Taking your brand to the next step with back-of-house suppliers

While the food may be front and center in the Entegra Performance Kitchen (EPK), we can’t do what we do without our back-of-house (BOH) suppliers. We feature our contracted BOH suppliers by using them every day in our operations, whether it’s SaniPro’s color-coded premoistened clothes or 3M grill cleaners. By showing products like these in action, we can promote our “beyond food” suppliers to our clients.

One of our valued direct partners, Chef Works, outfits us every day in our chef coats. Not only do we proudly wear Chef Works’ coats and aprons, but we also house a Chef Works showroom at the EPK. This on-site display leads to discussions with clients about creating a cohesive, standardized, brand-specific uniform program that matches their EPK-created menu and concepts. This standardization takes clients’ brands further than a menu alone.

As Holly Cordell, Senior Director, National Accounts with Chef Works, says, “Outfitting your employees within each department with creative, presentable, elevated looks supports your high brand standards and your brand message instantly. Your employees now become ‘marketing in motion’. What better way to bring ‘Hospitality to Life’?”

Whether you oversee small-to-mid or large restaurant chains, senior living community groups, hotel and country club establishments or healthcare organizations, Chef Works’ niche is servicing your hospitality apparel program through discovery, design, measurable project planning, implementation and then launch. Developing and supporting your program alongside the EPK operations team is their primary goal.

From cuttings to business reviews to transition meetings at EPK, we look forward to welcoming you to the uniform showroom for the experiential viewing and collaborative process offered by the EPK and Chef Works team!
