ADAPT, EVOLVE, SURVIVE & THRIVE Reimaging f&b for 2021 is top of mind for operators as they look to adapt, evolve, survive and thrive.

Firstly how to get 2020 behind us. How to transition the trends that popped up through the pandemic like the rise of cooking at home into do-it-yourself restaurant-quality food delivery packs. From nostalgic comfort foods to healthy options and managing the costs associated with home delivery into a new business model in 2021.

Of course, healthy food choices will continue to trend and has already shown more traction. The shift away to healthy fresher foods, making the most of healthy ingredients, using grains, vegetables, mushrooms and plant-based protein alternatives. Globally there is an expectation that carob will make a comeback as a sweetener.

This plant-based, low sugar, antioxidant-rich ingredient is a stand out as a natural sweetener. More vegan and vegetarian options will continue to forge ahead next year, but expect to see more paring back on menus as they are streamlined to allow for reduced hours or staff.

#shoplocal is expected to continue to drive consumers as they look to support local businesses. With the lockdowns came a growing sense of community and support for local businesses and suppliers, along with the desire to band together and help local communities push through these difficult times.

We would like to thank you all for your support of our local business this year. While 2020 may prove to be a turning point for most businesses; we can only hope that 2021 is kinder to us all as we traverse the upcoming new year.

From our team to yours, wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and safe holiday season.

DM’s trends forecast was influenced by this year’s shift in consumer’s priorities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The global health crisis has changed consumer preferences in new and unexpected ways,” noted Vince Macciocchi, president, Nutrition.

“We are seeing a heightened demand for foods and beverages that support immune systems, enhance our mood and reduce our environmental impact. This has provided a unique opportunity for brands to develop disruptive new products that will forever change the way we eat and drink. It’s going to be a year of innovation.”

1. A MORE PROACTIVE APPROACH TO NOURISHING THE BODY AND MIND ADM research found that 31 percent of consumers are purchasing more items tailored for their health, and 50 percent report a preference for foods and beverages that naturally contain beneficial ingredients.

Sensory factors like flavour and colour are playing an increasingly crucial role.

Consumers are gravitating toward foods and beverages with bright and exciting colours as well as products with familiar, nostalgic flavours during these stressful times.

2. SUSTAINABILITY TAKES CENTRE STAGE Over two-thirds (65 percent) of consumers want to have a positive impact on the environment through their everyday actions.

This is a key reason why 32 percent of consumers buy sustainably produced items. The growing awareness of our collective impact on the environment has elicited increasing demand for companies to demonstrate their sustainability

The wall planner is a great starting point to plan your marketing for 2021. It won’t take long to fill up and it will pay dividends throughout the year.

The starting point is to fill up the calendar with the dates you know about already – i.e. the campaigns and promotions you already do and that have proven successful.

With that done make a list of the things you would like to become involved in over the next 12 months – some great ideas are listed in the calendar. Once you have a list

3. THE GUT MICROBIOME EMERGES AS THE GATEWAY TO WELLNESS The pandemic has accelerated consumer interest in a more holistic approach to health, which includes a greater understanding of the foundational role of the gut microbiome on individual’s health.

Products targeting the microbiome have been shown to help address specific metabolic conditions and issues such as weight management, immune system support and better emotional well-being.

This provides fertile ground for food and beverage innovation with functional solutions like prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics that support microbiome function.

4. PLANT-BASED FOOD BOOM EXPANDS BEYOND THE BUN Globally, 56 percent of plant consumers are trying to eat more plant-based foods and beverages, pushing alternative proteins into an increasingly mainstream phenomenon.

Demand for plant-based protein products is rapidly expanding beyond just burger analogues to new and novel products, including alternative seafoods like shellfish and shrimp, plant-based cheeses, ready-toeat protein snacks and more.

The dairy alternative category, an early leader in the plant-based nutrition space, is growing to encompass other formats such as yogurt, ice cream, butter, spreads, and creamers.

5. TRANSPARENCY BUILDS CONSUMER TRUST Consumers now expect food labels and menus to provide greater transparency around the entire product life cycle. This is helping drive the demand for locally sourced products as consumers seek greater clarity on where the ingredients in food and beverages come from.

Each of these trends is strongly influenced by behavioural and societal changes that have emerged since the beginning of the pandemic, including heightened feelings of anxiety and stress, shifting priorities, changes in social connectivity and the adoption of a more holistic approach to wellness.

Coffee in the Time of COVID and Climate Change Supporting numerous developing nations as one of their key commodities and popular with consumers around the world, the coffee industry is both valuable and expanding.

W

ith COVID-19 slowing both production and demand, and disrupting the global supply chain, the global coffee industry has stalled, but it has also seen new trends take hold.

Here’s a summary of the key factors set to affect the coffee industry in 2021 and beyond.

NEW ZEALAND’S COFFEE MARKET

The average coffee consumption per capita in New Zealand is higher than both Australia and the UK, we are indeed a nation of coffee lovers. Revenue shrinkage has been slower here than foreign markets, likely thanks to the country’s lockdown measures enabling consumer-facing businesses and supply chain partners to get back to normal more quickly.

Revenue shrank 15.8 percent; however, the industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.1 percent through to 2025.

THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON COFFEE EXPORTERS Most growers (75 percent) told the International Coffee Organisation that they predict travel restrictions and social distancing measures (among other impacts of COVID-19) will affect their ability to employ workers and lead to a higher cost of production. This is more likely to impact countries such as Ethiopia where cultivation and harvesting is largely done by hand.

Higher cost of production may mean an inevitable price increase for consumers.

THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE COFFEE INDUSTRY Conscious Coffee Consumerism: Consumers are increasingly conscious of

the impact on the planet of their purchasing and consumption choices.

In a 2019 paper from Poland titled “New Trends in Consumption on the Coffee Market”, researchers noted that coffee consumers are moving away from what they termed ‘greedy consumerism’ and moving towards simplicity, better quality, and uniqueness. They are turning away from traditional coffee channels and seeking out authenticity.

Additionally, a report from the US National Coffee Association found that 53 percent of US coffee drinkers want to buy coffee that is good for the environment, the farmers who produced the beans and their communities.

Coffee Yields Down, Pests Up: Global temperatures are on the rise, for growers and their partners, this could spell trouble as yields drop and pests increase. Due to climate fluctuations (such as abnormally high temperatures or reduced rainfall) during sensitive growing periods, farmers may not be able to produce the same amount of coffee as normal, resulting in lower crop yields.

Higher temperatures also create a breeding ground for pests and disease, which may be able to spread to regions where they can’t currently survive. This could increase the costs of coffee production even more as farmers work harder to fight issues such as leaf rust and coffee berry borer.

While most consumers still buy mainstream coffee blends, there is rising demand (and a willingness to pay) for high-quality coffee with cupping scores over 80 points. Aligning with reports on socially conscious consumers looking for an authentic experience. Studies have noted that consumers will pay for coffee with a good story related to its environment and social aspects.

Growth in Home Brewing: Home brewing is changing, and consumers are choosing new equipment in response.

Coffee pods and capsules are a primary driver in this shift. The global market for these machines, according to Fior Markets, is expected to nearly double by 2025 – from US$15.23 billion (2017) to US$29.2 billion.

Potential for Agri-tourism in the Coffee Industry: Growing, selling and brewing coffee may not be the only future of the coffee market, as agri-tourism looks to be an increasingly viable market for those in the industry.

This type of coffee tourism could be similar to the wine industry, where vineyard visits

and tours are commonplace, a particularly interesting prospect for Kiwi coffee roasters wanting to trade in on domestic tourism.

This links once again with the idea that consumers want an authentic experience – with people willing to seek out coffee growers and related businesses for tours, tastings and learning experiences related to coffee.

Coffee as a Subscription: One burgeoning industry is the coffee subscription model, where suppliers send consumers coffee straight to their door. While this concept has been around for a few years, COVID-19 lockdowns have brought it to the fore as consumers look to get their coffee fix despite being stuck at home.

Changing consumer habits and growing interest in the product present new opportunities for coffee businesses up and down the supply chain. Despite COVID upsets, those who are able to take advantage of new coffee technologies and those who are able to be flexible enough to pivot around whatever comes next in the global coffee market should enjoy the industry’s predicted continued growth. M

Communities Displaced as Temperatures Change: Another impact of changing temperatures is that the ideal altitude for growing coffee may change with it. Looking at Arabica as an example, Fairtrade International says that warmer temperatures could push production of this bean type higher up mountains and forest reserves – displacing the communities (and wildlife) that already live there.

CONSUMER TRENDS Ready-to-drink Coffee is Ready to Grow: Ready-to-drink coffee is one of the fastest growing market segments. RTD coffee is perceived to be a healthier alternative to sodas, and a corresponding growth in iced coffee as a popular beverage is helping fuel this market’s premium status.

As we reflect on how the pandemic impacted food and beverage trends of 2020, we turn our focus on how the evolving consumer behaviour will shape the trends of 2021.

By Julie White, CEO Hospitality NZ

uring the lockdown, more New Zealanders than ever cooked at home and that’s a trend that is continuing.

In doing so, however, they are missing some of the more culinary complex dishes not so easily accomplished at home.

As a result, sales of do-it-yourself, homecooked ‘kits’ increased, and this will continue as people look for easy-to-prepare, ready-to-heat meals where they simply combine or add a side.

Takeaways have also increased, especially some of the more exotic varieties as people have taken the opportunity to try new things.

Continuing this trend, hotels report a rise in room service, with more guests choosing to dine in rather than venture out of their rooms or out of the hotel itself.

I’m picking 2021 will see more consumers turning to healthier food, as is happening overseas, establishments should seek to create more home-garden-like dishes featuring fresh herbs, citrus and veggies. Homemade could well also play a part, including jams and alternative dairy products like oat milk. Perhaps even something unexpected such as grilled cactus!

At the heart of hospitality will be locally sourced foods – the new sustainability –as more consumers look for them to feature strongly in menus, especially the longer the border remains closed or severely restricted. ‘Would you like fries with that?’ could well be replaced with ‘Would you like a beverage match with your meal?’ as fine wines and elaborate cocktails will complete the culinary experience.

The coming year could also be the time when private dining comes to the fore, providing a COVID-friendly environment for diners and social occasions, intimate occasions, and personalisation. Secret supper club popups, creating a must-do, know-about, fear of missing out driven consumer market segment.

The stand-out consumer demand for 2021 will be COVID certification and ambience.

Consumers will want reassurance in safety from COVID – a type of industry accreditation like food safety. Going out will more of a treat post-pandemic, and consumers will be looking for an all-encompassing, seven-senses experience: lighting, sound systems (including the ultimate playlists), restaurant layout and fit-outs, enhanced spaces such as rooftop dining with picture-perfect framed views through to comfort – all before they order.

REIMAGINING THE RESTAURANT What does the future hold for restaurants after a year filled with quarantines, closures, and social distancing?

T

he global health crisis has dealt the hospitality industry one of its greatest challenges to date.

In this new world of mandatory masks and sanitiser stations, the restaurant experience as we know it has changed, here are some of the biggest trends you can expect to see more of in 2021 and beyond.

Off-Premises Dining, Ordering Online, and Delivery

Ordering food from restaurants to enjoy at home has been growing in popularity for at least a few years but with COVID-19 the stakes have changed. Restaurants who were able to offer off-premises dining were the business able to survive community lockdowns.

While restaurants should still put in efforts to enhance dine-in experiences, many consumers will continue to prefer

ordering online into 2021. Business don’t have to rely on third-party delivery systems either, restaurants can utilise in-house online ordering services by hiring internal employees to deliver food and receive all of the profits.

Both third-party solutions and direct online ordering can integrate with a restaurant’s POS system. This allows management to have insights on payment methods, delivery preferences, popular orders, and sales.

Restaurants that offered grocery items, food boxes or meal kits as part of their offerings during the pandemic also did well, the ability to pivot to other areas of the food industry will be vital for businesses to continue into the new year.

Even fine dining establishments are pivoting to takeaway options. Meal-kits will continue to be popular with consumers looking to recreate their favourite restaurant experiences

minimising wait times and increasing table turnover rates. Consumers can also place take-out orders ahead of time from mobile applications to avoid lines altogether.

Since the COVID crisis began, consumers’ adoption of restaurant mobile apps has grown considerably. Even when the pandemic is over and health and safety measures potentially relax, contactless ordering and payments will be here to stay. Consumers have gotten used to increased transaction speed and convenience.

From Instagram to Twitter, restaurants should take advantage of the free exposure social media provides. Guests love to share photos of elaborately designed food and drinks and unique restaurant concepts, giving the business advertisement at no additional cost. Implementing simple elements such as funny item names, themed nights, or trendy decorations can also attract and engage guests.

Meat Alternatives and Sustainability

at home. With the right branding, fine dining restaurants can use this as an opportunity to continue to engage with customers even if another lockdown means people can’t eat on-site.

New Menus, Pop-Ups, and Ghost Kitchens

Food trends show that simplifying a menu improves operational efficiency, product quality, order time, and allows consumers to weigh their options quicker. Therefore, many restaurants have decided to eliminate some menu items to streamline the ordering system and reduce labour and inventory costs.

Pop-Ups are a great way for restaurant brands to try out an expansion of or change in what they are offering without making it permanent. Pop-Ups can also be a great way to engage consumers by offering something

they can only get for a limited time, homing in on people’s innate fear of missing out.

Ghost kitchens are not the traditional brickand-mortar restaurants, as they eliminate the option of dining in and only cater to delivery and takeaway requests. This allows businesses to save on rental costs and expenses related to restaurant hospitality.

Technology and Social Media Guests want a quick dining experience that allows them to order and pay when they’re ready without the wait time and this won’t change in 2021. Many businesses are implementing modern restaurant technology such as self-service kiosks, handheld devices, and portable tablets that enable customers to submit food requests and complete transactions at the table.

These terminals enhance service by

Vegetarian, vegan, and flexitarian diets have become very popular among consumers. Even major fast-food chains, such as Burger King, offer vegetarian meals by using plant-based meat to substitute beef patties in their burgers.

This trend does not appear to be shifting, and as greater innovation hits plant-based food manufacturing alternatives will no longer be bound to just burger patties, for example seafood alternatives are beginning to reach the market.

Consumers will continue to choose brands that have a clear sustainability story, an important part of that story for restaurants will be where they source their ingredients and produce. The ‘support local’ sentiment will carry on, especially with borders still closed.

Customers want to support establishment that have a connection with their local producers, growers, and community at large.

Monitoring restaurant trends allows businesses to create a plan of action that will meet the evolving needs of customers. If 2020 and the pandemic has taught hospitality anything it’s that flexibility and the ability to pivot are key to business success in the future.

ew Zealand adopted sustainable winegrowing practices more than 40 years ago and now has one of the best certification systems in the world. 96 percent of New Zealand wineries voluntarily belong to Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ), which makes sense since there is a lot to protect.

Worth $1.96 billion in exports, New Zealand’s wine industry is the seventh largest contributor to the country’s economy having notched up an 8 percent increase last year.

Under restrictions, the 2020 harvest was able to go ahead with some regions reporting their best vintage due to New Zealand’s long hot summer.

New Zealand’s commitment to producing award-winning wines that reflect its stunning landscapes and conducive climate has driven the country’s wine industry to become a world leader.

Today consumers want proof that the wine and food they choose has an authentic and sustainable life story. Luckily many passionate, forward-thinking Kiwi wine growers have put just as much effort into reducing environmental impact as they have into the quest for success of a quality product.

In September of this year, the New Zealand wine industry celebrated the 200th

anniversary of the day on which the very first grape vines were planted into New Zealand soils, by Reverend Samuel Marsden at Kerikeri in the Bay of Islands.

In November figures from New Zealand Winegrowers showed the value of New Zealand wine exports had lifted to $2 billion for the first time.

The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has inflicted since it hit the world. In New Zealand, winegrowers were privileged to be able to complete the grape harvest as ‘essential businesses’, but the effort and stress involved in doing so safely was high.

The total 2020 harvest of 457,000 tonnes reflected the near perfect growing conditions experienced in most of the country, and a 2 percent increase in planted area to 39,935 hectares.

The successful harvest was good news for growers who have only one opportunity each year to generate the income to carry them through the next 12 months.

The global pandemic has certainly caused an upheaval in the international markets where New Zealand wine is sold. While there has been an increase in some sales in retail, there has been a dramatic drop in sales through restaurants, so some wineries have increased sales while others have seen a drop.

The rise of domestic tourism should be seen as an opportunity to showcase different homegrown wines to Kiwis wanting to explore their own backyard.

“I see 2021 as an opportunity for reset and recovery after the upheaval of 2020. We expect international demand for Sauvignon Blanc to continue, but for local consumers there is so much opportunity for discovery of other varieties and wine styles,” noted Clive Jones, chair of the NZ Winegrowers Board.

Restaurants and hotels that rely on tourism can use local wine stories to connect guests with the places they are visiting.

“2021 should be the year to try something new – maybe an Albarino or Gamay Noir.

Find a wine that speaks of a sense of place and has a unique story behind it, it could be the people, the way the wine was made or the fact it comes from a special piece of land,” continued Jones.

Jones said he is excited about the future of New Zealand wine, but added that it is imperative the industry continues to work together to ensure ongoing success.

“I believe the New Zealand wine industry needs diversity across region, variety and size of business to be strong. A cooperative and united approach, combined with an absolute focus on quality, has served us well in the past and must continue to ensure our success in the future.” M

When it comes to nuts, freshness is everything.

Once cracked the clock is ticking on flavour, texture and nutritional value. Imported walnuts are cracked many months before they get to New Zealand, meaning that they are well past their prime by the time you use them.

Confoil offers an extensive range of products to the baking industry including parchment muffin wraps, decorative paper baking moulds, vegetable parchment flan trays and baking paper.

Our muffin wraps are perfect for promoting your muffins and cakes. The stock lines include both plain and printed varieties in white or brown and seasonal prints are also available. These muffin wraps can be customised with your logo and corporate colours, but minimum quantities do apply.

The exquisite Italian-made Novacart decorated paper-baking moulds can be used in either the microwave or oven and they hold their shape during the cooking process. The perforated bases eliminate excess moisture allowing you to bake and serve in the mould.

New to the range is the vegetable parchment flan trays, their rolled edges make them suitable for production lines and ideal for use with metal detection devices. These trays are great for your sweet or savoury products and as you bake in the tray you don’t have to clean tins and pans.

Locally manufactured to accredited standards, with all relevant food packaging certifications you can be safe in the knowledge that the packaging is clean and hygienic.

EASI RECYCLING The Easi Recipe for Recycling

For those in the hospitality industry, hygiene and efficiency is always a priority.

Not only that, customers are expecting companies to be doing the right thing and sustainability is becoming an everyday word as consumers now expect companies to be environmentally smart.

As a result, Longopac, the latest innovation from Sweden, has become very popular with New Zealand businesses. People love the efficiency and time savings, as well as the sustainability of this bagging system that reduces plastic and increases recycling.

Longopac waste bags are not only the strongest in the world but also the fastest to change. In fact, the liners take less than 30 seconds with absolutely no contact with waste – saving you time while keeping your kitchen hygienic.

Additional benefits of the Longopac bagging solution include:

• Every bag is always 100 percent full, regardless of how much waste is inside.

• Tie off the bag as often as needed, eliminating nasty odours and partially full bags.

• Three ply liners that are three times stronger, meaning no double bagging and reduced spillage.

• Seventy percent saving on plastic as the liners are half as thick and 50 percent lighter than traditional bags.

• Biodegradable bag cassettes available for composting food or other organic waste.

• Three sizes and six colours to choose from for easy waste segregation to maximise recycling.

• Waste stands specifically designed for your business.

HOSHIZAKI

The creators of the first automatic ice machine, Hoshizaki offers an extensive range of commercial ice makers and dispensers.

With their machines designed and manufactured to offer an outstanding level of reliability and performance, Hoshizaki has earned the position of proven industry leaders.

The range offers ice making solutions for all domestic and commercial requirements including restaurants, cafés, bars, hotels, supermarkets, luxury yachts, ice suppliers, medical care facilities and any other industries requiring ice.

Hoshizaki machines are designed for commercial use and offer a variety of shapes and sizes, so it is important to consider these factors when looking for the correct ice machine for your business. For instance, a tall ice machine may not suit a café or restaurant with limited space, therefore an under-counter ice machine option could

be considered. Hoshizaki is the only brand offering the unique crescent style ice cubes – a hard, slow melting ice that keeps drinks cool while melting slowly. Hoshizaki is also the only brand to offer stainless steel evaporator plates in most models. The biggest advantage of a stainless-steel plate is it prevents flaking and evaporator wear and tear, ensuring longer life and consistent performance.

In New Zealand, Hoshizaki is distributed by Steelfort a family owned business operating since 1946. With growing demand and a wider range available, Steelfort has made Hoshizaki ice machines price competitive and offers comprehensive after sales parts and service backup, essential for machines working in a commercial environment.

Commercial microwave ovens by design are one of the most efficient and lowest cost appliances found in commercial foodservice kitchens.

Commercial microwaves use up to 80 percent less energy than conventional ovens.

Microwave ovens cut energy costs by only using energy when cooking – eliminating the need for pre-cooking and holding. During the cooking process, existing water molecules within the food are activated to create steam and shorten cook times even more. Plus there’s no need for costly ventilation.

SERVICE FOODS

Service Foods is one of the largest independent family owned and operated foodservice companies in New Zealand; expanding to meet the needs of local and nationwide hotels, restaurants, cafes and more.

Service Foods grew from humble beginnings in Christchurch as a small grocer in 1983.

In 2009, the company was voted as one of the top 50 fastest growing companies in New Zealand. 2017 saw expansion into the central North Island with branches opening in Napier and Gisborne. In February 2018, the growth continued with a new branch in Rotorua, fresh produce, and foodservice in Wellington as well as a new branch in Tauranga.

The business now operates a nationwide distribution network and employs close to 600 employees across New Zealand. Service Foods understands that success not only comes from hard work and well-planned strategies, but from its loyal customers.

The Service Foods team take pride in developing trust and long-standing relationships with local businesses in each region. To assist their customers in becoming leaders in their field, Service Foods source over 4,000 imported lines from more than 20 countries and over 8,000 products locally, direct from

farmers and reputable manufacturers.

Last year, Service Foods moved into a state of the art, $60 million distribution centre in Auckland. The 18,000m2 custom built facility is multi temperature zoned to accommodate a range of over 12,000 lines including fresh produce, seafood, butchery, chilled, dry, and frozen products.

For more information visit www.servicefoods.co.nz or email hello@servicefoods.co.nz

The facility can dispatch a fleet of over 100 temperature-controlled trucks daily, providing comprehensive coverage of Auckland and its surrounding regions. Service Foods will continue its expansion in 2021 with new distribution centres and investments in technology, which is why it is known as the company behind every great chef.

SHEPHERD FILTERS: Protect your hood 365 days a year What if your duct cleaner offered to work 24/7, at no extra charge?

Well, Shepherd Filters do just that. They trap up to 98% of airborne grease before it even enters your exhaust system. This means no more forking out half your next vacation budget to the duct cleaner. No more fire risk hanging just above your heads and no more washing greasy filters every single night.

But how does all this happen?

Shepherd Filters are disposable grease filters, made of 100% natural sheep’s wool.

Wool is fire retardant, compostable and has a natural affiliation to grease. These filters can be changed in under 60 seconds. With normal grease filters, up to 80% of the grease in your air can travel on through and coat your duct and fan. This is what creates that dreadful treacle-like build-up inside your system.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Shepherd Filters capture up to 98% of airborne grease in their fibres, keeping a cleaner system, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Ralph Ward, from the Phoenix in Tauranga says, “a bag isn’t cheap but what it is preventing is worth it. We got a positive response from our duct cleaner who usually finds 1ft of grease when he gets to the fan; now he only finds an inch or couple of inches.”

Ralph says his “kitchen staff love them. They know when to change them and they find it easy.” A New Zealand fried chicken chain also had astounding results with their filters capturing nearly 2kgs of grease every week. If using standard filters, the duct cleaners in this kitchen would have had to deal with at least 60kgs of grease every year. Instead, all the kitchen staff had to do was spend 15 minutes a week replacing full filters with fresh ones.

Furthermore, one Wellington hotel was spending over $13,000 per year on kitchen exhaust maintenance. Shepherd Filters helped them reduce this cost to $3,500 per year, which included the cost of the consumable woollen

filter media. In the words of Ralph: “Shepherd Filters sort an ongoing problem, which is what it’s all about.”

OUTDOOR HEATING

Extend your season with German made Schwank Patio heaters, proudly distributed in New Zealand by Superheat Limited (Superheating).

Outdoor patio heaters have already become part of the standard inventory on the terraces of many restaurants, cafés and bars.

The trend is continuing since the number of guests who prefer to sit outside even on cold days is increasing. Also, non-smoking laws significantly contribute to this trend.

Energy efficient gas-infrared heaters are an ideal solution to cater for this trend. Since in many restaurants and hotels, natural gas or

LPG is used for heating and cooking already, a connection to the network is easy.

Gas-fired infrared heaters, being considered to be very pleasant and comfortable, are ideal to heat outdoor areas.

Just like the sun, these heaters generate infrared rays, which in turn is transferred into heat when it strikes solid matters such as human bodies and the floor.

Hence, the air is not heated directly. The

reaction time is so quick that guests are feeling the warmth within seconds after the heaters have been switched on.
