More than just a bulk cooking oil supplier, Cookers Oil focuses on efficiency and sustainability to help businesses enhance productivity while saving time and money. Before switching to Cookers, the kitchen team at the London Tavern Hotel faced daily challenges with oil handling.
General Manager Gina helps us uncover exactly how the venue can now produce consistent food quality and efficient meal output, allowing for better productivity across the kitchen.
Previously, staff had to manually transport oil tanks down multiple flights of stairs whilst navigating through busy crowds during shifts. This created labour strain on our employees and caused frequent venue damage and issues.
With the kitchen producing over 500 meals a day, our previous oil supplier could not keep up with our high-volume service, and maintaining high food quality was becoming a concern.
That’s when Cookers introduced a smart oil management system with free on-loan equipment. XLFRY — a high-performance frying oil designed for demanding kitchens — was selected to solve our quality concern, and the rest is history.
Cookers were able to provide us with a smart oil solution where the oil goes directly into the storage tank in the kitchen. Our chefs are now producing more meals during service while maintaining consistent food quality, enabling our kitchen to perform at a higher level.
We chose Cookers through our AHA partnership, knowing that we’d get great service and a strong relationship with their team.
Oil is now pumped into storage units, which has helped reduce manual handling and has thus improved employee safety.
Cookers implemented a schedule of oil delivery and collection that matches our kitchen output, so needless to say, the London Tavern can now produce consistent food quality and a higher meal output, which allows for better productivity across the kitchen.
“Now I can go through a whole food service without issues. The food quality stays consistent, and we’ve become a lot more productive,” said the London Taverns Chef Bischant.
