Anyone who runs a bar knows it well: offering a welcoming environment, capable of making those who are traveling or away for work feel at home, is one of the most important challenges. The Bar Prestige in Empoli has succeeded in this intent. We had the pleasure of discovering its history through the words of Sorina, who runs it with passion together with her family.
The Prestige Bar, the history
“We opened the Bar Prestige in 2007, in Empoli on via Raffaello Sanzio. It is located in a nice area of the city, we also have an outdoor area where we can host our customers. Ours is a family-run bar, I manage it together with my husband, who is retired, and my son who comes to lend a hand when he can.
If I had to describe Bar Prestige in three words, I would choose: welcoming, hospitable and familiar . Because this is exactly what we try to do every day: make our customers feel at home, just like us who, as a family, take care of this place with the same attention and love as our own home.
In the midst of frenetic and busy days, finding a moment of relaxation for yourself is not easy. This is why here at Bar Prestige we want to be that refuge: a space where you can sip a coffee, enjoy something good and have a chat. A little moment to unplug , even if only for a little while.”
The meeting with Techfood
“We met Techfood during the Tirreno CT fair in Carrara, a perfect opportunity to discover many new and innovative products , exactly what we were looking for for our customers. In our area it is not easy to find business solutions capable of giving an extra edge to a place like ours. This is why we chose Space Bun® : a tasty and original gastronomic proposal, made even more practical by the Space Bun® Station .
The Station is a compact station that can be placed anywhere in the room , both inside and outside, optimizing space in a truly effective way. Did you think you didn't have enough space? With this solution, it's no longer a problem!
The Space Bun® Station lands at Bar Prestige
“We placed the station in a strategic position: between the outdoor area and the entrance to the venue, a point that is easily accessible for us and for the customers and clearly visible from the outside. We customized it with the name of our venue and themed graphics. It is a station on wheels that takes up minimal space, only one square meter . Since it is refrigerated, it allows you to have the ingredients at hand next to the plates with which to prepare the Space Bun® sandwich . Serving the customer is very simple: just enough time to wait for the choice of their favorite flavors and in a few minutes the hot sandwich is ready in their hands.”
The sandwiches that fly the highest
“The innovation was welcomed with great enthusiasm by our customers. Space Bun® has proven to be the perfect idea for lunch, when it is most in demand. It is also ideal for take away: in just one minute, a rich and tasty sandwich is prepared, the perfect solution for those who are very hungry but short on time.
But the potential of the Space Bun® Station doesn’t stop there! Thanks to the special menu provided by Techfood, developed in collaboration with Menu Srl , we can offer our customers a wide choice of gourmet sandwiches with delicious and innovative fillings. The favorites? The sandwich with cooked ham, cheese, mushrooms and cacio e pepe cream, and the one with mortadella, pistachio sauce, cherry tomatoes and caramelized onion. The choice is wide, but you know... winning flavors always win!”
The secret to a successful venue
“In our business we always try to combine tradition and innovation: a bar where customers can ask for "the usual", but also discover something new. For this reason I constantly keep myself updated on industry trends, and Techfood has proven to be a valuable ally in this journey.
Of course, the quality of the products remains a fundamental pillar for the success of a place. Then there is the environment, which must be welcoming and inviting, and visibility, which must be carefully looked after. We organize events to offer our regular customers special moments and to attract those who do not yet know us.
It takes a lot of dedication and that inevitable touch of novelty, capable of bringing imagination and creativity to our daily work.”
