Why I chose Villa Food
«I’ll be honest: at first I was rather skeptical. I had tried in the past several ready-made dishes and had not convinced me for many reasons, first of all the final quality. Then, with a colleague, we tasted Villa Food. And it really surprised us». These are the words of a restaurateur from Udine with years of experience, used to carefully evaluate every proposal.
«What struck me immediately was the consistency between expectation and result: the gastronomic dish Villa Food arrives already ready and must be just regenerated, yet it has taste, structure and balance incredibly interesting... You would never know it’s a ready-made dish. Villa Food has transformed our place».
«We were able to conceive the opening of our restaurant based on the gastronomic proposal that was offered during several meetings in the Villa Santina. We immediately understood the potential that we had in front of us: tasty and balanced dishes, portioned and replicable on a large scale, customizable, ready in a few minutes with a simple microwave. This has made it possible to start quickly, with low costs and a coherent proposal».
No traditional cooking, only essential tools
«Initially we chose a light formula and some gastronomic dishes particularly in line with the personality of our local, but in a few months the number of references has increased. The necessary equipment has been reduced to what is essential, as well as the number of people involved in the preparation».
We have preferred the single portion format
«The practical trays can be stored in a refrigerator in a compact and tidy way. They are perfect for a meal on the spot but also to take away. Each dish is regenerated in a few minutes and is consistent in the result, and these are essential aspects, as well as knowing exactly how many portions you have in the room: you are always ready and reduce practically to zero the margin of error, you are more efficient and have less waste and scrap».
Another key point is shelf life
«When we visited the production plant of Villa Food, we got to know the HPP technology (high pressure cold treatment) and vacuum cooking. These are technologies that can really change the organizational and work model of a food company. Keeping products longer without compromise on taste and quality has allowed us to reduce kitchen urgency, improve purchasing planning and stock management. The dishes we buy have a shelf life of 120 days, an exceptional durability for our sector».
Not a shortcut, but a change of perspective
«We come from a history, also personal, of excellent cuisine and daily habit to quality food. Working with Villa Food was therefore a considered choice, born precisely with the idea of arriving at a new catering idea: more flexible, conscious and simplified. For us it meant working better, with more freedom and less stress. What about the customers? They come back».
