Business case: Bidfood NL and Kitchen Create

Bidfood Netherlands

BIdfoodnl is one of the leading hospitality distribution companies in the Netherlands. They offer a wide product portfolio and almost immediate delivery times that make them strong players in the foodservice field. They differentiate themselves from the competitors by offering additional services to their clients in terms of consultancies, trainings, and demos, which are perceived by the client as high added value services.

The SmartVide food range and Jordy´s Keuken

The difficulty for finding Chefs in the Netherlands, stressed by the COVID situation, has accelerated the development of technological solutions, as well as the offer of quality mise-en-place food that is easy to cook.

Within their catalog of Jordy’s keuken they offer all the necessary elements to make a dish, as well as a SV range. The SV range consists of vacuum-packed products designed to be regenerated by immersion which now also carry Janby’s QR labels. The labels have embedded all the information about the product and, most importantly, its retherming or cooking process. This range of products can be regenerated using the Sammic SmartVides together with the Janby Track for a completely unattended and automated regeneration process, significantly reducing the needs of a qualified Chef in the kitchen.

How can I get the Janby Track license in the Netherlands?

In the Netherlands we work with our partner Kitchen Create. Kitchen Create is a company specialized in custom made professional kitchen solutions for the hospitality industry. In addition to selling Sammic SmartVides, is also a Janby partner and point of contact in the Netherlands.

Restaurants already using the system in the netherlands

After the launch of the system at the Gastvrij Rotterdam show in September 2021, Kitchen Create has installed the system at 3 facilities so far:

Gastrobar Hartig

Tramhuys  

Brasserie Barclay

This is a clear example of how food manufacturers can benefit from the system not only through the traceability of their products, but also by offering an added value to the customer with a system that ensures product quality while reducing the need of chefs.

Maruka

¨In Maruka we are in constant innovation and evolution as a gastronomic group to offer a high quality, safe and different experience¨

One of the key success factors of this culinary proposition comes from the activity of separating the food preparation moment form the regeneration and service. The production phase is carried out in the same kitchen in big quantities but at different times from the service moment, this production is later vacuum sealed in individual portions. On the other hand, the regeneration and service happen on demand, which reduces food waste at 100%. Moreover, the elaborations are prepared in an open to the public kitchen enhancing their experience.

It is composed of a software license with different functionalities and a dedicated tablet that records recipes and identifies each bag and their elaboration process. It enables to work with many bags at the same time with an efficiency and accuracy never experienced in the kitchen.
