In 2015 there was a significant increase of notable chefs moving towards fast-casual dining operations. The increase was so strong that the NRA in conjunction with the American Culinary Federation has listed this at No. 2 in their “What’s Hot” forecast for 2016.
If you are considering moving your menu in this direction and want to maintain a higher quality of food with less frozen and processed ingredients, consider using Authentic Japanese Panko and Tempura Batter. These products are ingredients which can be used to create a wide range of easy to make and serve menu items from appetizers, main dishes and even desserts. Using an Authentic Panko and Tempura batter mix will provide a light crispy textures that will make a noticeable difference in the plate presentation; it will look and taste more homemade and fresh. The best part is you can pre-stage most menu items allowing your staff to make them in advance, store in the freezer or refrigerator and then cook to order.
