5 tips to make your beach bar a success

Summer is a difficult time for a large part of the hospitality industry, but there is an exception: the beach bars! The sun, the beach and everything that has happened this year makes everyone eager to go to a beach bar. But how can you make a difference, do you want to make the most of it? Keep reading because this article is sure to interest you.

Here are the 5 fundamental aspects that you should take into account to set up or improve your beach bar.

Location of the beach bar.

The closer it is to the beach the better, beach bars are characteristic of coastal places, so the closer it is to the beach, the more differential value it will have.

Music to enhance the atmosphere.

We recommend you to play the HITS of this summer as well as those of the previous summer, a good summer is not conceivable without good music hits. This makes music a fundamental factor that promotes happiness and comfort inside your place.

It offers a personalized food service.

Don’t panic, we are not referring to a personalized meal for each person. But each place has a characteristic gastronomy and different climatic situations. So if we want our customers to enjoy a good meal, we must take care of it properly.

Chiringuito style

It is necessary to mark the difference, if there is one thing that many beach bars are guilty of, it is that they are very similar to each other, so that in the end, customers are not loyal to any of them.

We recommend you to mount something eye-catching, whether it is painting the facade in extravagant colors or decorating it with lights that help to attract attention.

Pay special attention to the materials with which you are going to build the beach bar, as the finish of these will determine the final appearance of it. Some materials that are widely used and that give very good results are wood, reed or heather roofs, etc.

As for the interior of the establishment, you can use LED or neon lights, it is also advisable to use wooden or glass perimeter fences, and finally, the use of plants always gives a fresh touch to the premises.

Customer service.

It may sound basic, but nowadays there are a lot of beach bars that don’t have this in mind. Queues form, people get angry, their demands don’t get through, etc. This in the end only creates a bad climate, and therefore, a reduction in the number of visitors.

Delivery is consolidating and will grow 20% in the next few years

Some restaurant trends are here to stay, and two of them are delivery and take away. This 2020 will go down in history for many reasons, but also for being the year of the delivery explosion, as 23% of Spaniards say they have ordered more food at home during the confinement.

This is one of the data collected in the Barometer of Trends in Catering, which analyzes the trends and habits of citizens when they go out to eat. The study reflects some data to be taken into account for catering professionals and that show the way forward in the short and medium term:

  • Sixty-three percent of respondents have ordered food at home during the state of alarm.
  • Fifty-five percent of respondents have increased food orders in the past five years.
  • Fifty-three percent have also opted for on-premise food pickup, better known as take away.
  • Fifteen percent of respondents say they consume delivery and take away exclusively, without visiting restaurants.
  • Traditional food continues to gain popularity for both home delivery and on-premise pickup, with 54 percent of respondents confessing that it is their favorite option.

In addition to these data, the barometer also highlights consumers’ commitment to increasingly healthier food when they go out. This fact is related to the good moment being experienced by vegan and vegetarian restaurants, which have very loyal customers.

In addition, consumers are also concerned about sustainability and environmental friendliness. Nearly 50 percent of respondents say they order leftover food to take away and a very similar number demand that packaging used for delivery and take away should be recyclable.

In Yelow we also care about sustainability and we are committed to a more eco-friendly world, betting on ecological products for hospitality businesses. Made of sugar cane, wood, paper and cardboard, wheat fiber, our products are recyclable and also have a great versatility being suitable for hot and cold meals, and can also be used in the microwave, oven and freezer.

In addition, we have thousands of items in our cash and professional kitchenware catalog.

Digitization is also gaining ground in the hospitality industry

2020 has served to accelerate some processes that previously evolved more slowly. One of them is the digitalization process of any company. Communication through social networks, e-commerce or the use of artificial intelligence or Big Data.

The hospitality sector is no stranger to the changes that will take place in all areas, and according to some studies, the paradigm shift is already beginning to be seen. According to Valentín Bote, director of Randstad Research, employment in tourism “will recover at the same rate as the health situation”, although he believes that the current tourism model will turn towards a “less massified and more niche” model. A shift that will undoubtedly affect the hospitality sector and open up new business opportunities.

Restaurants, bars and cafeterias have a lot to say in this situation. It is this type of business that has led the reactivation of the entire tourism sector. The Horeca Market NewReality report by the consulting firm Uve reveals how restaurants and bars/cafeterias have acted as drivers of the sector’s momentum, with 83% and 80.4% of reopenings, respectively. The options brought by digitalization, together with the extension of the ERTES gives a breath of fresh air to the sector, which is crucial in the national economic system.

The entire hospitality sector is demonstrating its capacity for effort and adaptation, as seen in the increase in take away and delivery, lines of business that will continue to grow in the coming years. Subsectors in which Yelow has also bet on with its new line of ecological packaging both for food collection on the premises and for home delivery.

In Yelow we have also opted for digitization in all our processes in order to facilitate the shopping experience for all our customers.

Do you want to be the king of French fries? We tell you our secrets to be the ‘number one’.

It may be difficult for us to agree on some issues, but there are others on which we all, or a great majority of us, come to understand each other very quickly. One of these issues is how good some french fries are, well done, your own, your mother’s, your grandmother’s…

Besides being exquisite, French fries are one of the most popular dishes that can be served in any kind of bar and restaurant. With crust, without crust, thinner, fatter, breaded, with eggs, with cheese, with ham, with meat, alone, but in the end it is potato and it is fried. Because what you like, you like.

They are so popular that they even have their own day, yes, didn’t you know? Every August 20th is celebrated as World French Fries Day, something that we at Yelow celebrate in style as passionate about gastronomy and cooking. At Yelow we are convinced that in order to be the king of French fries, or of any other recipe, the quality of the food is as important as the quality of the kitchenware and appliances with which you prepare a particular dish. So, we tell you our little secrets with which your French fries will be a real scandal and everyone will want to know how you make them.

The (open) secret of double frying

First of all, it is essential that the potatoes have a proper cut and that it is uniform so that they all brown at the same time and so that they also have a homogeneous image. If you have tried with a knife but each one comes out in a different way, remember that at Yelow we also have utensils with which you can cut the potatoes into sticks as evenly as possible. It is also important to wash the potatoes before frying them so that they release the starch they naturally contain, but dry them very well before soaking them in oil.

Now we teach you the trick of double frying. At this point we will have to choose between the frying pan or the deep fryer. We may have got the hang of the frying pan and the fires of our kitchen, so we can use it, although if we are talking about accuracy we can resort to the latest generation of fryers like the ones we have in Yelow. Cooking, in addition to inspiration and creativity, needs the most exact rules possible, especially when it comes to time and temperatures.

So, either in a frying pan or in a deep fryer, we heat the oil until it reaches a temperature between 120 and 140 degrees. Once the oil reaches the temperature , we will fry the potatoes until about fiveminutes have passed, so up to this point everything is normal. When this time passes, what we have to do is to remove the potatoes and let them rest for a few more minutes, specifically until they cool down, which usually takes about 10 minutes. The second step is to heat the oil in the frying pan or deep fryer to 180 degrees and turn the potatoes again until they acquire a darker golden color. This will make the potato very crispy on the outside but still tender on the inside.

Once we have the perfect potato, we let them rest on a plate with absorbent kitchen paper to remove excess oil and apply the salt evenly so that it reaches all the potatoes. And if you never find the right tray or plate at home, at Yelow we also have a wide variety of kitchenware in our catalog so that the presentation is always at the height of your dishes. In addition, if you are looking for containers to carry chips or any food with home delivery, we have a catalog of organic products that are sure to fit your needs.

If you want more, in our cash you will find everything you need to make your business or home kitchen a real culinary wonder factory.

Safe, DEMONSTRATED hospitality

It has rained a lot since this whole Covid-19 pandemic began, and it seems that the sources of infection and how to combat them are still not clear, and the hotel and catering industry has been from the beginning one of the most targeted places. Today, we are going to tell you how the latest study carried out in Madrid shows that the hotel and catering industry is safe.

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the hotel and catering industry has been very much in the spotlight as it is not considered a very safe place. As a result, it has been severely affected and has put many professionals in trouble. In this year, the activity of the horeca sector has fallen between 50% and 60% compared to the previous year. This meant a decline in monetary terms of 11 billion euros.

The website profesionalhoreca.com brings us the study mentioned above, where we can see that, from the data studied, based on the number of positive cases, the activity of the sector and the age of these infections, the hospitality industry is not the root or the main focus of these infections.

The study was conducted during the month of January, based on what happened this Christmas in the hospitality industry in Madrid, and has revealed data that will be of great interest to everyone.

On the one hand, we find the data regarding the activity of the horeca sector during this Christmas season, which decreased by 22%. This was mainly due to the fact that people have preferred to meet more in the private sphere.

On the other hand, we established an association between the age of the main infected age and the age of the main client of these restaurants. The majority of infections occurred among young people between 15 and 27 years of age, who represent only 10% of restaurant customers.

It is also worth noting that, as part of the study, a series of surveys were carried out on the diners’ sense of security. Eighty-three percent of the diners felt safe, and it is worth noting that they thought they would continue to go to restaurants between 1 and 2 times a week on average.

Finally, it is worth mentioning a data from the Ministry of Health about the infection in the hotel and catering industry, which in October placed the figure at 3.5% of the cases of coronavirus.

From Yelow we want to send all our support and confidence to the hospitality sector, because for us the hospitality industry is safe. We also want to inform that we are doing everything in our power to improve the hospitality situation. Soon we will launch a new category in the store called ”Hygiene and protection” so that everyone can enjoy a good meal safely.

Surprise everyone with the sweetest recipes for All Saints’ Day

The art of gastronomy allows tradition and the avant-garde to join hands to create dishes as tasty as surprising to celebrate dates like Halloween or All Saints’ Day. In fact, the most characteristic symbol of Halloween is the pumpkin, a food with multiple possibilities that we have already talked about in previous posts.

And since we are going to innovate with tradition as a reference, we are going to talk about 4 recipes for All Saints’ Day, to condense in the dishes many typical flavors of the autumn season in which we are.

Wind fritters. They can be light as the name suggests, or a little ‘heavier’, as in the recipe we propose here. Because there are many desserts that can be improved with a touch of chocolate and fritters fall into that category. At Yelow we can help you with the whole process, from offering you the best frying pans on the market, to the utensils to fill the fritter, to the plates with which to present the fritters in the most original way.

Saint Bones. It is one of the most typical recipes of these dates and very traditional, although we can introduce some new ingredients and thus innovate. The main difficulty of this dish lies in the elaboration of the marzipan, which although it is not complicated to make, it does require patience to get everything just right. If in all recipes it is essential to find the right touch, it is even more important in those where the sweet is involved, because overdoing it with one of the ingredients can make it not work.

And for a good marzipan, nothing better than a state-of-the-art mixer.

Because the secret of the recipes is also in the utensils we use, and we know a lot about that in Yelow.

Pestiños. Although pestiños can be enjoyed all year round, now that the cold weather is starting, the pestiño is a great ally for breakfast, snack or dessert. A typical sweet of Andalusia but that conquers the palate of those who try it, both the syrupy and the sweetened variety. A classic with which to triumph always and if we give it an innovative touch with a tray of groundbreaking design, then all the better.

Panellets. Although it is a typical product of Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearic Islands, it is beginning to be seen in confectioneries throughout Spain thanks to its flavor. One of the essential ingredients is the potato or sweet potato, a seasonal food with which to enjoy in many recipes and with which to give a very special flavor to your dishes.
