A varied breakfast menu at little expense

Today we bring you an editorial by Angelo Iori , owner of Techfood. He'll show us how to create a varied breakfast menu at a low price, taking into account the preferences not only of Italians but also of Europeans accustomed to a continental breakfast.

The importance of traveling to offer a varied menu

Lifestyles and consumer habits are constantly changing, and the emotional drivers behind these changes often depend on our mobility and the experiences we have in Italy and abroad throughout our lives.
As we travel and visit other countries, we are influenced by cultures and tastes different from our own, which affect us to the point of changing our eating habits even when we are in our own country.

I myself, returning from my trips abroad to visit relatives, changed the way I drink, accustoming myself, not without difficulty, to the typical Central European coffee percolated, or infused in water, and kept hot.
We all know how important Italian espresso coffee is to our culture and how crucial it is to the success of our coffee shops. We must prepare for changing tastes and not be left behind.

Techfood's response

For this reason, at Techfood we immediately embraced the continental breakfast philosophy and decided to complement our food offerings with every type of coffee.
So that you can offer your customers, in addition to the classic Italian breakfast, a series of products suitable for different palates: crepes, waffles, churros and many more thanks to a single multifunctional machine .

These foods have characteristics that make preparing a menu of this type for foreign customers in a hotel or inn almost impossible, without very high costs.

The pilot example

The pilot example that marked the turning point for us in the field of American-made breakfast was, and still is, the supply of our pancake mix to Heinz Beck , Michelin-starred chef at the Cavalieri Hilton in Rome, for the hotel's American clientele.
Thanks to Rondò Unika , a machine designed by Techfood, it is possible to create a varied breakfast menu in any room or kitchen of any hotel or bar.
In fact, the machine can produce – by programming their cooking – Waffles or Gauffres, Churros, Crêpes or Pancakes, Waffles, in the shape of a cone or basket, and, finally, the classic American Donuts.
The plates can be changed instantly, and the product can be prepared 2 or 3 hours before being sold, so you always have ready-made food available and encourage purchases.

Each of these products has its own recipe based on a freeze-dried preparation to which only water is added, and in some cases a small amount of oil.
The table below shows the ingredients needed for each product, the preparation times and the storage times.

From this table you can verify the extreme flexibility of the project, the ease of use and the convenience of producing directly with the advantage of always having a quantity of product ready to cook or cooked even for instant preparations.
Unika is a particularly compact machine, it can also be used in the tasting area as it is equipped with Teflon-coated plates that enhance not only the live production without smoke for a light breakfast without fat, but also the inviting aroma typical of grandma's pastry shop.
