Catering can be a huge profit center in your operation. You may already do some form of catering including pasta trays and large numbers of pizzas for pickup or delivery. You may even do some onsite catering with hot foods heated by propane canisters under metal trays, but have you thought about expanding into the colder foods area such as a salad bar or cold pastas and desserts? Have you run into problems keeping foods cold at these offsite events?
Well, there's a company out there that can solve this problem with portable buffet chillers. Creamer Caddy's chillers come in round and rectangle shapes. The basic setup is a bottom tray with tapered edges. You fill the tray with ice and then set in a metal bowl that is fitted to seal with the bottom tray. This causes the condensation from the ice to chill the bowl. The food inside the bowl is kept cold for four hours or more.
Since the dawn of the low-carb and no-carb diets, people are looking at healthy meal options more and more. For your pizzeria to compete in the expanding restaurant market, you need to offer some healthy options and market them. What better way to do this than offer a salad bar to your dine-in and take-out customers? You may think a refrigerated buffet is too pricey for your operation right now. With the portable alternative and single trays that The Creamery Plastic Products offers, you can offer a salad bar option at a lower cost.
Let's say you have deli meats and cheeses in your restaurant for subs. You can expand your catering operation further by using the buffet chillers to keep items cold when doing onsite caterings. These are great for a build-your-own sandwich bar. You could also use them to keep fresh fruits and vegetables cold in a buffet line.
Finger foods are great for weddings and parties. You could expand your catering menu to include more upscale items such as shrimp cocktails, crab legs, and other cold seafood items because you now have a way to keep them cold. To dress the caddies up for these events, The Creamery Plastic Products Ltd. offers skirting in a wide variety of colors to match the décor.
The chillers are big enough to double as punch bowls and beverage chillers. If you are catering a school dance, use one of the chillers to serve fruit punch. You can also put canned or bottled sodas on ice at events for guests to help themselves. This would be a great option for an outdoor festival that doesn't allow filtration.
According to the PMQ 2005 Pizza Power report, 69 percent of restaurateurs saw an increase in popularity in bottled water. To address this trend, you could put bottled water on ice in the restaurant in one of these chillers. This could be placed next to the cash register to encourage pickup customers to get a bottle while they wait.
These Ice Chillers have been in use for a short period of time in various establishments including: caterers, golf-courses, pubs, restaurants, party rental shops, major oil camps and the list goes on. For more information please visit www.icechiller.net or email info@creamercaddy.com.
