Light at the end of the tunnel?

J

ust when many thought they could see the light at the end of the Covid tunnel, the emergence of the latest Omicron variant poses many questions about the future. In the UK businesses should make sure that they have an active Risk Assessment to help stop transmission of COVID-19.

Another year has gone by and here at Fast Food Professional we would like to praise the stoicism of people in our sectors of the food service industry for standing up to this awful pandemic, developing the way that they operate and succeeding in moving forward against all odds.

The world that we live in will never be the same again as it was before.

Thank you to our loyal supporters and readers for your stories, news and encouragement that we receive to allow us to produce a magazine that we are all very proud of.

Let’s hope that we all have a very special Christmas first, and then January sees Veganuary yet again and this sector continues to go from strength to strength every year.

With the world issues around climate change very much at the forefront, the plant-based and meat-free markets will continue to grow rapidly in future years.

It will be very interesting and exciting to see how the equipment manufacturing markets in the future develop equipment that reduces the need for fossil fuel energy.

Finally we would like to pass on our best wishes and thanks to Ivan Bond, Sales and Marketing Manager at McWhinney’s in Northern Ireland, who is retiring at the end of the year after many years of service to Kevin and the team over there. I am sure many will miss the “True Gentleman” of our sector and we wish him and Roberta a very happy and healthy retirement. His successor, James Hughes, has big shoes to fill but I am sure he is very capable of taking the business from strength to strength..

Happy Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to all Athol

Frymax is Committed to and Supports Sustainability.

SUSTAINABILITY For several years Frymax has been made only from fully segregated certified sustainable palm fruit oil.

This means that both palm oil and palm kernel oil are produced by palm oil plantations which have been independently audited and certified. The certification is provided by the official body, RSPO which has developed a set of environmental and social criteria member companies must comply with. Fundamental to this, is that no primary forests which contain significant concentrations of biodiversity, fragile ecosystems, or areas which are vital in meeting basic or cultural needs, can be cleared. This seeks to eradicate the threat of unsustainable palm oil plantations which damage both the regional and global environment and that of indigenous wildlife.

Both Olenex and ADM, manufacturers of Frymax, support the global sustainability movement and RSPO. They also have an additional supply chain policy which requires Frymax palm oil producers to respect the core sustainability principles of, no deforestation of high carbon stock forests, no development on peatland and no exploitation of communities.

PROJECT MARIPOSA Frymax sources some of its palm oil from Latin American countries and has undertaken to support producers by providing them with the tools and expertise to produce fully sustainable palm oil. The vehicle to do this is through a new initiative called Mariposa.

The aim is to support families with the means to develop, improve and maintain their sustainable production practices.

In the past three years Olenex has undertaken three very successful Smallholder programmes to support sustainability.

Frymax carries the Mariposa logo on its packaging and it is hoped and expected that Mariposa will get increased exposure over time.

Says Andrew Marriott, Brand and Marketing Manager of Frymax “We are determined to promote sustainability in any way we can and support those who produce the oils for our product. Our involvement in Project Mariposa demonstrates our commitment to achieve these aims.”

Mariposa is about enabling growers to manage their palm trees sustainably.

The Fryers’ Favourite For Over 60 Years.

Frymax Champions Sustainability

You don’t become the Fryers’ favourite for over sixty five years without listening to the needs of your customers and adapting to changing market circumstances. That is why, for several years Frymax has been made only from fully traceable, certified sustainable palm oil. This devotion to sustainability is backed by the RSPO and conforms to the economic, social and environmental requirements laid down by this body.

The Frymax commitment to sustainability is evidenced by an involvement in project Mariposa which supports smallholders in Latin America, providing them with the tools and expertise to produce fully sustainable palm oil. This in turn enables Frymax to maintain consistent colour, consistent quality, consistent frying time and consistent delicious end results.

As befits a brand leader, Frymax is the first to recognise initiatives which will produce benefits all - round. The commitment to sustainability is clear evidence of this.

“QikServe allows businesses to offer online ordering, and at the same time grow a database of highly engaged customers.

The connection with Impact Data allows businesses to drive more repeat orders from these customers automatically.’

[Steve Hawkins, Director of Alliances, QikServe] When a customer places an order with QikServe and they opt-in to receive marketing, their details are pushed to TalkBox, Impact Data’s marketing application. TalkBox analyses each customer’s behaviour and then automatically reaches out with one-to-one marketing campaigns triggered when a customer misses a visit, is about to celebrate their birthday or anything else we know about that contact. TalkBox will even predict when each customer is likely to make their next purchase and send an offer in case they miss their visit.

The beauty of automated marketing with QikServe and Impact Data is that you don’t need a marketing team, making this type of solution accessible to businesses of all sizes.

Case study snippets The Chesterford Group increased sales by almost 9% equating to £15,000 in additional revenue over 5 months, whilst trialling

Smash: “bowled over” by Lolly–Burger specialist says “integrated Lolly tech is the best investment they ever made” About Smash Situated in East London, Smash offers high quality traditional and Halal burgers. The meat is sourced locally, and the quality of food, as well as service, is at the heart of everything that they do.

Their mission is to give customers a unique experience, the option to eat “on the go” food in a comfortable restaurant, in addition to ordering and taking away.

Preparing to open for the first time – post Covid-19 Shaz Islam and his business partner started to set up Smash before Covid-19 hit in February 2020, but when lockdown was introduced only a month after, they decided that nothing would stop them going ahead with creating their dream burger restaurant.

The money was invested and the plans had started. They wanted their customers to have a fresh and clean environment, but also a sleek and prompt service, so that’s where Lolly came in.

Shaz commented: “I wanted to get some great tech in place to ensure that we could provide a very professional service. I also had no previous experience in hospitality, so it also needed to be easy and very efficient.

“I did look for a PoS company for quite a while with no joy, nowhere seemed to offer what I needed, and it was important to find a company that could advise us on the best approach to take – to ensure quality service at every touch point.

“An online search led me to finding Lolly. From the first call, they have been so helpful and have known exactly what we needed. Their knowledge has filled me with confidence.”

Williams launches hot holding solutions for food delivery easy to fit into kitchens. The stainless steel cabinet has a bright LED display and the unit runs off a 13 amp supply.

For operators producing a wide range of different food delivery options, Williams offers the Scarlet Heated Multideck. The open-fronted design means that it’s very easy to see and take the appropriate delivery, while the halogen quartz heating ensures consistent temperature control.

The Scarlet is especially useful for operators

needing different temperatures to hold different product, since it offers four individually controlled temperature zones. A slimline unit, 635mm deep by 1910mm high, there’s a choice of widths (710, 960 and 1250mm) so that sites can specify the ideal solution for their needs.

When preparing high volumes of delivery food, operators need a large capacity hot holding solution. The Williams Mobile Heated Cabinet is available in two sizes – the 390 litre MHC110 and the 549 litre MHC16 – and provides the ideal climate for hot holding packaged food. Its fast warmup technology brings it up to operating temperature safely, quickly and efficiently. A major benefit is that the cabinet is easy to move around, so it can be loaded in the kitchen then rolled to the delivery pick up area. This means it isn’t taking up valuable kitchen space, yet the food is held safely and efficiently. Easy grab handles make it a cinch to manoeuvre and all-round bumpers add protection in transit.

The 950ml vessel has a wider mouth specifically designed to be the ideal fit for all your pickling goodies, and with delicious ready-spiced pickling juices made with Sarson’s time-honoured recipe inside, all the hard work is done for you.

Sunday 28th November marks Stir Up Sunday 2021. As the last Sunday before Advent, families traditionally get together and prepare the Christmas pudding ahead of the big day. Introduce a touch of savoury to this customarily sweet occasion and start preparing your pickled treats to enjoy during the festive break in Sarson’s all-in-one pickling jar. Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful homemade Christmas gift, or to plan some pickled delicacies to add to the Christmas dinner spread, there are plenty of ways to pickle for the festive season.

Sarson’s top pickling recommendations for 2021’s festive season: Personalised ‘Pickle-mix’ presents Why not use Sarson’s new all-in-one pickling jar to make a colourful ‘Pickle-mix’ jar present? Select your loved one’s favourite fresh vegetables to feature in the jar to add a personal touch. Cucumbers and onions work well for pickling first timers and pair perfectly with the Sarson’s pickling juice. Introducing beetroot and red cabbage adds sweet notes and a beautiful deep pink colour great for gifting. All you need is a festive ribbon or some colourful paper to add the finishing touch. It’s an easy and thoughtful personalised present, ideal for him or for her.

Add a touch of pickle to the festive spread If you’re reuniting the family this year at yours, why not prepare a post-Christmas lunch cheeseboard for everyone to enjoy? Or a simple but stunning charcuterie board to offer as finger food on New Year’s Eve? Homemade delights from your Sarson’s all-in-one pickling jar such as pickled cauliflower, red onions or mushrooms make for the perfect additions to both these dishes. One thing’s for sure, no boxing day spread is complete without a jar of traditional pickled onions as the table centrepiece!

Pickling isn’t just for Christmas…

Waste not, want not! At a time of indulgence and delight, sometimes it’s not possible to squeeze in that last carrot, brussel sprout or parsnip. Never fear, you can still hold on to that Christmas cheer. Scrap blue Monday and the gloomiest month of the year and pop your leftover Christmas vegetables into your Sarson’s pickling jar to enjoy the taste of Christmas well into January.

Catherine Martin, Brand Manager of Sarson’s said: “Practical and the perfect fit for the kitchen cupboard, we have crafted a balanced blend of vinegar and spices, making the all-in-one Sarson’s pickling jar great for your well-loved homemade recipes and the ideal added ingredient to all your Christmas celebrations”.

Both Sarson’s Pickling Malt Vinegar and Sarson’s Distilled Pickling Vinegar can be bought from all major retailers, for example Sarson’s Malt Pickling Vinegar can be found from Sainsbury’s for £1.90 here. For further details see www.sarsons.co.uk.
