Fast-Food Restaurants

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text text_larger="no"]Fast food restaurants are the most familiar restaurant type in the 21st century. With a rising demand for quick service, the idea of a fast-food restaurant first came about in the early 1920s.

Burger King, one of the leading fast-food restaurant chains in the United States, produced a mission statement to “…offer reasonably priced quality food, served quickly, in attractive, clean surroundings.”. They emphasize on one collective goal within the fast-food restaurant franchise: cheap food and quick service.

To achieve this, the food prepared at these types of restaurants is usually preheated or precooked. The food prepared in these kitchens contain highly processed foods with high sodium, high trans, and saturated fats. The qualities of fast-food restaurants are as follows:

• Counter or drive-through service
• Processed foods
• The use of disposable items
• Casual atmosphere
• Uses bright colors such as red and yellow to arouse appetite
• The seating and mood are uncomfortable, initiating that customers enter and exit quickly.
• Typically apart of big business chains such as McDonald’s, Arby's, Burger King, Chick-fil-a, etc.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text text_larger="no"]As air fryers begin to appear in many of your favorite bloggers, YouTubers, Instagrammers, or even parents' houses, it's tempting to try one out for yourself. But are air fryers worth the price? Because of their sizes, many struggle to find places to store an air fryer while not in use and wouldn't recommend this appliance for those with limited counter space. Some say they've replaced their microwave ovens, toaster ovens, and even steam ovens to accommodate for this appliance and they still remain satisfied with their decision.

Air fryers can cook, bake, roast, steam, and even saute your favorite dishes. This revolutionizing technology is something that kitchen appliances gurus find it hard to keep their hands off. Air fryers rapidly blast hot air on and completely around your food for even baking, much like convection ovens do. It also uses microwave technology to cook foods much faster than regular convection ovens.

What are Air Fryers?

Air fryers come in many sizes to fit your household size: 2 quarts, 2.3 quarts, and 5.3 quarts, though there are some brands that make sizes up to 7 quarts. When deciding which size fits your needs, keep in mind that the bigger the size, the more counter space, and storage space you'll need to provide. While in use, the air fryer has a fan behind and on the top, so it should not be operated next to a wall or under cabinets.

Air fryers are great appliances for single families or small families in need of quick and easy meals.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text text_larger="no"]

During a pandemic, restaurants need some form of service that doesn’t require dining in. Most restaurants immediately added takeout or delivery options to their forms of service to thrive in a social distancing climate. Diving headfirst into delivery can be a difficult task. Here are some tips to help you take on adding delivery to your business.

Designate a Delivery Space

Setting up a delivery space in your restaurant is vital if you’re going to add this service to your restaurant. A lot can be done by adding a space where orders can be prepared separately than regular dine-in options. Adding to this, you can turn this area into a takeout section as well. This will divert traffic from the dine in the area and put more traffic into your takeout area. It allows for a more efficient workflow.

Adapt a Delivery Menu

Transferring your current menu and making a more simplified delivery menu can be helpful. A quick design tip would be to make a trifold menu that someone can take home with them. This can also be doubled as a takeout menu as well so that when customers call, they’ll have a copy of a menu on them.
