COVID Ready:
Low involvement menu solutions for a new Covid world. There has
never been a more important time to re-think menus and adapt
your kitchen to reassure staff and consumers. Keep processes and
kitchen set-up simple with fully cooked, pre-prepped & cook in pack
product ranges that minimise the number of steps required in cooking
processes and reduce the number of staff required in the kitchen,
making it easier to socially distance back-of-house. Products are
available in frozen format; this means no waste and thus enhanced
profitability at a time when foodservice businesses need it most.
