No doubt, the restaurant business is competitive. One key to maximizing sales is utilizing restaurant frozen foods to decrease table turn times—the time it takes to take the table’s order, prepare it, serve patrons and prepare for the next table seating. In a restaurant’s rush, it’s show time and efficiency matters most. Reducing each meal’s preparation time keeps patrons happy and tables turn faster, resulting in more tables served, shorter waits for patrons and more revenue for the operator.

Foodservice manufacturers, like Windsor Foods, allow operators to serve a wide range of delicious, easy-to-serve appetizers and center-of-plate menu items in less time and at less expense than cooking from scratch.

Windsor’s traditional Italian, Asian and Mexican restaurant frozen foods are painstakingly consistent, made from the highest quality ingredients, fresh meats and vegetables and authentic spices. Appetizers from Windsor Foods range from the original mozzarella cheese sticks to asparagus spears and portabella mushrooms—made within 72 hours of harvest and quick-frozen to retain freshness. Many items are heat and serve.

When operators leverage foodservice manufacturers for their restaurant’s frozen foods, they realize that less tedious work in the kitchen means more efficiency. They can save time with less washing, chopping, baking, boiling, frying, measuring or filling ingredients. And they are able to serve patrons faster, improve customer service, and increase table efficiency with better table turn times.

New frozen food packaging keeps restaurant frozen foods protected. With re-sealable bulk packaging from Windsor Foods, innovative appetizers like Fred’s for Starters, or Bernardi’s Grand-E-Oli ravioli entrees will never get freezer burn and cause inventory loss.

Frozen restaurant food manufacturers have become so savvy in improving frozen food quality and taste, that it is indistinguishable from high-dollar, chef-prepared food. Operators can delight their customers with good-tasting, quality food while enjoying the benefits from faster cook times and less time in the kitchen.

The role of the frozen restaurant food processor is to meet operators’ menu requirements—by giving them choices from a wide range of existing product lines; by creating custom-manufactured products to their specifications; and by making nutritious products that taste good with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
