#Yelowers: Gran Hotel Monachil

That Granada is one of the best cities for tourism is something we already know. According to a recent survey by the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU), our city is in second place in the ranking of Spanish cities that tourists like the most. It also has an excellent rating compared to other international cities.

Granada’s history, rich heritage, varied gastronomy and cultural diversity are some of its main attractions. We must add to these attractions its mountain range. Sierra Nevada is a benchmark in international snow and ski tourism. Its success lies in its location: it is the southernmost ski resort in Europe and the highest altitude, it has an enviable climate due to its proximity to the coast, just two hours away, and it is only a few kilometers away from the center of Granada.

Located in the middle area of the resort, in the heart of Sierra Nevada, is the Gran Hotel Monachil. A three-star hotel that connects to the Pradollano square in just five minutes. Itsmain attraction is that it is at the foot of the slopes, so you can ski in and out!

Gran Hotel Moenachil Dining Room

The Gran Hotel Monachil, welcomes tourists who love skiing and snowboarding of national and international origin. Tourists who, after finishing their day of skiing, return to the hotel to rest and enjoy the gastronomy of the land and who want to recompose themselves with hot spoon dishes that comfort them.

According to Rosario Villegas, head chef, the hotel has an “extensive breakfast and dinner service”. “extensive breakfast and dinner service”, and a varied buffet, which has gone from offering eight dishes to a total of twenty-seven. The hotel also has an à la carte restaurant service, with different dishes from the buffet, and a terrace, which offers other types of fast food such as pizzas, sandwiches or hamburgers as an alternative.

To meet the needs of this type of demanding tourist, the Gran Hotel Monachil decided to rely on Yelow’s comprehensive service. A service that, according to Rosario, “meets their requirements and offers them a comprehensive service in the implementation of annual projects”.

As soon as Gran Hotel Monachil approached us with their idea, our team got to work, offering them a 360º consulting service from start to finish.

From advice on furniture, cutlery or machinery, to after-sales service, in Yelow we manage quickly and efficiently the resolution of doubts, the replacement of material or technical service. Offering immediate and personalized attention at all times, as Rosario Villegas tells us in this new success story of our #yelowers.

#Yelowers: Bernina Gate

Tradition and avant-garde, the key to success in the hospitality industry

To renew, to grow, to undertake, are the keys to success. But if we also combine the avant-garde and evolution with tradition, then success is even greater. This is the result of combining the traditional flavors of Puerta Bernina with the quality and service of Yelow.

Since 1930, Puerta Bernina has been a reference in Granada’s pastry and bakery industry. Its famous products such as the Torta Alhambra, the Cordobesas or the Vienas, its typical cakes or novelties such as the Yogurt Ice Cream, have made this chain of coffee shops experience an accelerated expansion process since 2012. And that is why we are so pleased to be part of the growth of the traditional Puerta Bernina coffee shops in Granada.

A benchmark in the bakery sector, which are being renovated to give a more modern look to their facilities and make them more competitive in terms of capacity and surface area. Traditional coffee shops that are committed to giving a more careful, avant-garde image that allows them to offer a better service and experience to their customers.

The confidence that comes from experience

In just five years they have managed to set up in nine strategic points in Granada, such as Calle Alhóndiga, Gran Vía, Centro Comercial Nevada, and this latest opening in Puerta Real, for which they have counted on Yelow.

First of all, carefully chosen furniture, adapted to the space, designed to create the perfect ambiance and make each establishment a cozy corner for Puerta Bernina’s clients. Secondly, the kitchenware. High-quality, practical, designer utensils and accessories, designed to be useful and resistant in a cafeteria of Puerta Bernina’s style.

Undoubtedly, we have dedicated a lot of love to this project. Because the trust (and subsequent satisfaction) of our clients is our greatest success. In the words of their Financial and Human Resources Director, Mónica Giménez, for them it is essential to “to have strong suppliers, who transmit confidence and security”.. It is also important for us that clients with such a long history as Puerta Bernina rely on our comprehensive consulting services to cover all their needs.

Just as Puerta Bernina is characterized by good customer service and quality of treatment, our customer service goes beyond that. Both for them and for us “after-sales service is very important”.. Both for possible incidents that may arise, for which we attend to them effectively and quickly, as well as for the proposal of suggestions for improvement on our part.

We are left with a very sweet taste in our mouths after another very special success story, the results of which we show you in the following video. Don’t hesitate to stop by!

#Yelowers: Bar Sancho Original

With the month of September well into September, Granada is back to normal: the bustle in the streets that we love so much. Now the vacations are over (except for a very small group of lucky ones whom we envy enormously).

But there’s no reason to be discouraged by the inevitable return to everyday life. In fact, the best way to cope is to return to old (but good) habits. And in a city like ours, sitting down for a bite to eat after a nice walk downtown is one of the best habits we can maintain.

If you need some suggestions, we propose a more than interesting one: Bar Sancho, a mythical place in the gastronomic offer of Granada. Founded in 1981 and located in Tablas street, its proposal is based on a close, very neighborhood cuisine, which is rounded off with an attentive service, good product quality and the excellent atmosphere that is generated both inside and on the terrace.

Specialists in memories and flavors that time will not change.As its advertising claim says, its maxim is to become specialists in memories and flavors that time will not be able to change. But time goes by, and after almost 40 years of experience, Bar Sancho has had to adapt to the different trends and demands of the market. Therefore, its offer was expanded with the opening of two new restaurants specializing in gourmet burgers, the Sancho Casual Burger (one located in Tejeiro 20, next to Alhamar Street, another in the Serrallo Plaza Shopping Center), with an objective that was not trivial: to dignify the hamburger.

And what happened to the traditional Bar Sancho? Its manager, Serafín Jiménez, wanted to give it a facelift, from the premises to its menu. Above all, it had to be a welcoming and pleasant place, a meeting point for the whole neighborhood that has welcomed him for so many years. And that is where we came in.

Through our consulting services we analyzed their needs in depth and understood their aspirations, proposing solutions for each of the areas that needed an upgrade. The understanding was immediate, as evidenced by the kind words with which Serafin sums up the experience of working with Yelow: “the quality of the people stands out, their professionalism and work, their efficiency (…) they are there for everything, always available and very attentive (…) A supplier that makes everything work well“.

Said and done. Our professional team got down to work immediately, carrying out a thorough renovation of the furniture, decoration elements, crockery, cutlery and machinery and achieving the results that you can see in the video of this new success story.

We are proud to have contributed to the birth of this new version of Bar Sancho, rejuvenated, but as its name suggests, with the original flavor intact.

#Yelowers: Carmen El Agua

One of the essential appointments for the tourist who visits Granada for the first time is to stroll through the old Arab quarter of the Albayzin, a world apart within the city itself and indebted to the rich historical and cultural legacy of the Nasrid empire. Its beauty also makes it a very appreciated area for the lifelong granadino.

The neighborhood is delimited in its four cardinal points by other areas not without interest: to the north, the hill of San Cristobal; to the south, the hill of the Alhambra; to the east, the Sacromonte Abbey, and to the west the always busy Elvira Street. But the charms of the Albayzin are unsurpassable: its narrow cobbled streets form a labyrinth that invites you to get lost in its narrow streets, relax on a stroll or discover the splendid cármenes built by the wealthiest Christians after the expulsion of the Moorish population. The neighborhood, almost unintentionally, makes us feel its magic and experience a real journey through time.

No visit to this famous area of the city is complete without first admiring some of the spectacular panoramic views of the Alhambra that it offers, preferably taking advantage of the hours of sunset, which make the stones sparkle with intensity, giving a mystical aura of glowing red to the architectural complex, declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.

There is no doubt that doing so from one of its many viewpoints has its charm, but for food lovers there is an even better place to enjoy those last hours of the afternoon: El Carmen El Agua.

Interior hall of the Carmen, also with excellent views

This house, founded in 1990, preserves intact the essence of that Arabian opulence and is a very cozy restaurant where you can satisfy your appetite after a relaxing stroll through the streets of the neighborhood. It has a privileged location, since from its terrace viewpoint you can admire the Alhambra in all its splendor. The perfect place for a romantic dinner.

Traditionally, the main protagonists of its gastronomic proposal have been the fondues. fonduesBoth sweet and savory, the main attraction for diners from all over the world since its foundation almost thirty years ago. But as its manager Antonio García told us, the international character of its customers has motivated the need to diversify its menu by introducing typical products of Andalusian gastronomy.

This process began about a year and a half ago, when Antonio decided to rely on Yelow’s comprehensive consulting services to accompany the renovation of his menu with a restyling of the restaurant itself. It’s vital to have a first-rate supplier, as they are the ones who can offer you new technologies and the latest trends”.

The Alhambra, always beautiful, but even more so at sunset.

From that moment on, our technical team got down to work, satisfying perfectly from functional needs, such as the complete renovation of the kitchen machinery, to aesthetic needs, offering them options of kitchenware, glassware and tableware that reinforce the traditional character synonymous with their culinary selection.

Undoubtedly his bet was the right one, since, as Antonio himself tells us in this new success story, the growth in the number of clients has been exponential and sustained in recent months. And he intends to keep it that way: “to keep growing we need a reliable supplier and Yelow has provided us with a very good service . Yelow has provided us with a fantastic service from first contact to execution. We are very grateful to them and will continue to work with them for the future”. And so it will be Antonio. ????

You know: if you want to feel all the magic of the Albayzín in a genuinely special restaurant, look no further. Antonio, his team and his delicious fondues await you at Carmen El Agua (Plaza del Aljibe 7).

And don’t forget to ask for a table with a view. It will surely be worth it. ????

New vs. second hand catering machinery

Are you thinking of starting a new business or changing and giving a new look to the one you have? It is at this point that the typical question arises: What to do with the machinery – buy new or second-hand?

In this article we offer you 5 keys to decide whether to buy new or used machinery.

Machinery warranties.

New products have a minimum warranty of 2 years. This allows you to maintain security when using it, because if any problem arises with the machine, you have a technical service behind you to solve it.

This is not the case with second-hand machines. They do not have a real warranty that covers repairs to the machine. So you may have to spend what you originally saved by buying a second-hand machine on repairs. It may also happen that the machinery is older than you think and has a shorter life than expected.

Technical service.

Once you have acquired any new machinery, you have a commercial company behind you that, in most cases, is in charge of training you in the use of the new machine, offers you a technical service and takes care of its maintenance.

If you decide to purchase second-hand machinery, it is usual that you do not have the necessary technical service to start up the machinery with guarantees.

yelow machinery

Technology.

If you buy a new generation machine, it will most likely have more features than older models, better energy efficiency, new cooking techniques, new functions to improve cleaning, etc.

Second-hand machinery, on the other hand, is often technologically obsolete.

Asymmetric information (Lack of information).

What criteria should we follow when buying second-hand machinery? To take our word for it from the seller and think that the machine has not suffered any breakdowns? Or how long the machine has been in use? At first glance, a second-hand machine we will not be able to tell if it is good or bad.

Economic savings.

This is the point where the acquisition of second-hand machinery stands out. Buying new equipment can be expensive, and it is obvious that the cost of a second-hand machine will be lower.

Product catalog.

It is more usual to find a new product or machinery at your trusted machinery supplier than to have to go to the second hand market, having to wait for the machine we want to buy, at the price we are willing to pay and with the determined time of use.

Remember that within the Yelow catalog you can find everything you need to open or renovate your hospitality business.

After these arguments for and against buying second-hand machinery, what do you prefer, do you prefer to have your machinery refurbished or to buy it second-hand?

Do you want to have a beautiful, profitable and tasty restaurant?

Do you want to make your restaurant beautiful?

A good face for the new season

September is here, the month that many of you have been looking forward to with great excitement during the summer months. No, we are not being ironic, nor do we want to wallow in the disconsolation that the return to work usually entails. It is true that the return to the work routine is hard, but it is also an ideal opportunity to give a facelift to your restaurant or restaurant to receive the new season with renewed strength and intact illusions.

It’s a fact: in the hospitality industry, customer experience is becoming increasingly important. To succeed in a highly competitive environment, it is no longer enough to offer excellent food or good, close and personalized service. The 21st century diner wants to experience a series of sensory sensations and emotions closely linked to other secondary aspects, not directly related to their menu choices or the treatment received by the staff of our business (also essential).

Today more than ever it is necessary to take the utmost care of the image of your premises, an aspect of utmost importance, since this space will be the epicenter of the visitor’s experience. So if you want your customers to come back to visit you on a recurring basis, the goal must be to make them feel very comfortable at all times.

Solutions that conquer

At Yelow we have been working very hard over the last few months, and we too have been looking forward to the arrival of September. Being fully aware of the above aspects, we have taken advantage of the summer season to take stock, analyze new market trends and, ultimately, continue to be a reliable support in this new season, for which we have prepared a completely renewed list of products.

The first point that you must take into account and in which we can help you is the choice of furniture and the different decorative elements, able to satisfy basic needs related to aesthetics and comfort, but also suitable to communicate the type of philosophy and values that characterize your proposal.

Through them, you will be able to create cozy environments, which arouse feelings of well-being and a more than positive first impression. In this sense, values such as originality, elegance and quality play a decisive role. And that is why in this new season we continue to offer you multiple solutions, adapted to all your priorities and suitable for all kinds of needs: chairs, tables, stools, shelves, stoves, umbrellas…

Everyone to the table!

Once seated around the table, all the elements that will come into contact with the customer’s senses will play their own role. And it is in this aspect that we have placed special emphasis, gathering in our new professional catalog (which you can consult here), a wide selection of product families to dress your tables, covering all the needs of service:

  • Tableware and gastronomic accessories: an essential element for a good staging, we offer a selection according to the most trendy needs and trends of the sector, through prestigious brands such as Churchill, Rak, Porvasal, Vista Alegre or Guy Degrenne, which synthesize in their ranges durability, practicality and most important of all, quality and differentiation.

A glass for every occasion

  • Cutlery: every good dish has a cutlery specially designed for it, so we present a new selection of pieces, suitable for every situation, ensuring the total enjoyment of the diner through the intrinsic quality of manufacturers such as Sambonet, Culter, Pintinox and Jay, and a variety of materials and aesthetic solutions that allow you to differentiate yourself from your competitors.
  • Glassware: the drink is present in every celebration, but as important as its quality or optimal serving temperature is to enjoy it in the right container. For this reason, and just for you, we have selected an extensive collection of glasses, cups, mugs, pitchers and other elements of the reference manufacturers in this category: Zwiesel, Vicrila, RCR, Arcoroc, Bormioli… ranging from classic and elegant styles to the most informal and casual, correctly identifying each occasion.

Finally, it is important not to neglect those aspects that the customer does not see, but that affect their perception of quality. We refer to all those kitchenware accessories that will be used in the kitchen, as well as the machinery that will be part of your day to day.

In this sense, we continue to offer a comprehensive consulting service, flexible to any type of need, through which our professional team will make your projects a reality without the need for other interlocutors, offering the best purchase conditions and a great after-sales technical service for any unforeseen event or doubt that may arise.

If you need more arguments, be sure to visit our Youtube channel, where you will find several success stories that will help you see how satisfied other customers have been after trusting us.

We wish you the best of luck for this new season and you know, whatever you need, if it exists, it’s in Yelow.

Shall we talk?

Charming terraces. 5 essentials to get yours.

Spring and summer lend themselves to go out, enjoy, and do what you have not been able to do in the cold seasons. The weather lends itself to filling the terraces of all venues everywhere.

In spring, the terraces start to fill up at midday and finding a free table in your favorite bar is impossible.

In summer, with the heat, we wait for the sun to go down to enjoy the coolness of the night. We go out in search of a beer or a soft drink with lots of ice to escape from the day. Or maybe you are one of those who are on vacation at the beach, and the beach bar is your place of choice.

It all belongs to our Mediterranean culture of enjoying the street and gathering around a table, but in all of the above cases there is a common denominator:

The terrace.

What would we be without a good terrace to go to. In the sun or in the coolness, as each one prefers.

So, if your business is lucky enough to have a terrace space, here are 5 must-haves you can’t miss:

Style.

If you want your terrace to have its own personality and style, you can’t have the tables and chairs of the beer or soft drink supplier of the day. Yes, it’s cheaper, but do you really want to stand out from the competition?

You know that details are what make the difference between one business and another, and your customers perceive and value those details. That is why you should consider what style you want to give it. Rustic, modern, chill, sober and elegant or colorful and casual. You choose. But the rest should be in line with that style.

Furniture.

The choice of furniture for your terrace is very important. First of all you have to take into accountwhat space you have. If it is an interior space, if the terrace is in the middle of the street or if you are on the beachfront.

Depending on the location of your terrace and the style you have already chosen, purchase the right furniture.

Tip: Think about the customer’s comfort and how they would feel more comfortable in our premises. A happy customer is a loyal customer and we assure you that if they liked the experience, they will come back.

If you have chosen a chill and indoor environment, choose sofas and low tables according to the context. If on the other hand your terrace is in the middle of the street and you have decided to have a casual style, buy tables and chairs to match, to bring color and liveliness to the environment. Or if you have a small space that you want to take advantage of, high tables and aluminum stools may be the best solution.

Sunshades.

Spain is considered “the country of the sun”, it is highly valued by all, but let’s not fool ourselves, when the sun presses, few are able to remain impassive under its heat. Most mortals prefer to have lunch under a good shade. That is why it is essential to have parasols that promote the comfort of the diners.

Choose wisely, depending on your style as we have mentioned above. There are round, octagonal, square parasols, with a wooden or aluminum pole, and with different colors. And don’t forget the base! Let it be cement or concrete.

Household goods.

Household goods in yelowIf you are concerned about bringing a style to your terrace, you must accompany it with a different tableware and tableware to maintain that style. Nowadays you have plenty of possibilities to choose from: You can choose the classic porcelain or opt for more original materials such as wood, slate or melamine.

You can also choose some of the top brands of tableware and glassware.

  • Churchill and its countless models, Stonecast, Profile, Bamboo, Textured Prints, Vintage Prints, Mediterráneo, Buckingham, etc.
  • Costa Verde with its duo tableware, combining circles and ellipses.
  • Alchemy and the Energy and Ambience models.
  • RAK and its Banquet or Classic Gourmet.
  • DasSchone stands out with Miracle and Apicius.
  • Schonwald offers you Connect and Generation.
  • UpPortuasal and its tableware with a woman’s name, Augusta and Aitana.
  • Vista Alegre triumphs with Matrix and Oh Moon
  • One thousand 994 so natural with Cloud and River.

Barbecue.

lotus-grill-xl- yelowA barbecue is the extra that can give your terrace the perfect touch. The BBQ LOTUS GRILLfor example, is small, comfortable and very easy to use. It will make your customers go crazy to book a table at your place.

What are the advantages of this particular barbecue?

  • The time to start cooking does not exceed 4 minutes.
  • You can regulate the temperature with the on/off button of the built-in fan.
  • Thanks to its coating , you can carry it lit without getting burned.
  • Its design prevents grease from falling into the embers.
  • It is completely removable, which makes it easy to clean.

If you want to know more, in Yelow we already dedicated a whole blog to her. You can see it by clicking here.

We believe that with these 5 elements you will have the brightest terrace in town, on the beach or in the mountains.

At Yelow we provide you with everything you need to find the right style for your terrace.

So #Easy, so #Yelow.

Do you think we are missing something? Would you add anything else to this list? Do you need to add any of the items we have mentioned? We are all ears.

#Yelowers: Eiffel’s Whim

El Capricho de Eiffel: Paris on the Costa Tropical

Second fortnight of August: very reluctantly we are already rushing the last weeks of summer, but we are still in time to recommend you a plan to enjoy a few more days of warmth and beach: a visit to the town of Motril.

Located about 45 minutes by car from Granada, the capital of the Tropical Coast of Granada welcomes visitors with a sensational subtropical climate, characterized by more than 300 days of sunshine a year, which allows you to enjoy the most of the different beaches in the area. However, its attractions do not end there, offering multiple alternatives for tourism and leisure: a large number of religious buildings and buildings of historical interest, golf courses, sugar museums or the incredible landscapes that make up the fields of cultivation of native fruits such as cherimoya.

In fact, the gastronomic offer is another of the main attractions of the region, and although it is usually based on products of marine origin, today we are pleased to introduce you to a restaurant that stands out from this majority trend: El Capricho de Eiffel .

El Capricho de Eiffel, MotrilLocated in the center of the town, and only five minutes away from the main beaches of Motril, El Capricho de Eiffel focuses its offer on meats, but not just any meat: its specialty is matured meats, cooked with a very special care and at a temperature of 300º. And always on holm oak charcoal. The love that his team professes to these products of animal origin is perceived when discovering his spectacular refrigerated showcase and maturation chamber, the biggest in Spain.

Given the passion they apply in everything they do, we could not fail to thank its owner, Fermín Peñalver, for having trusted in our experience for a challenge as big as this, of which we are enormously proud and in which we hope to have transferred the same passion they pour into the stoves and grills.

We put the icing on the cake to this exciting project with our comprehensive catering services, aimed at meeting all the furniture, kitchenware and machinery needs of El Capricho de Eiffel. To paraphrase Fermín himself “Yelow is a very important supplier for our business, because of its reliability, seriousness and punctuality. The perfect complement to the quality of the product we offer”. So, objective achieved!

We hope that this new video that we have shared with you has got your teeth long and that you will be encouraged to visit El Capricho de Eiffel, a visit that will be worthwhile to discover a restaurant with a very unique character, a very careful decoration, a spectacular translucent vertical waterfall and decorative elements that will make you feel in Paris itself.

When is your next visit to Motril scheduled for?

#Yelowers: 19th Hole Beach Club

THIS SUMMER, YOUR PLACE IS HOLE 19

We are already in the middle of summer, that time so awaited by everyone for so many months and in which most of you enjoy the “3D”: rest, disconnection and fun.

One of the things we like to do at this time of the year to escape the high temperatures is to escape to the beach, enjoy the sea and, of course, its beach bars.

In Punta del Santo of Playa Granada you have a very special one: Hoyo 19 Beach Club, who have trusted in our integral catering services to renovate their kitchen and cover all their furniture and machinery needs.

In the video we share with you you will discover some details of its offer: a fresh, tasty, recognizable gastronomy, with varied options and very very beachy. Just the way we all like it. As if this were not enough, the evenings are enlivened with its selection of cocktails (you can not miss their incredible mojitos) and is a benchmark in the summer nightlife of the coast of Granada.

We think it is clear that it is a place that we love… but the best thing is the attention to detail, know-how and closeness of their professional team. And it seems that the feeling is reciprocal! To quote Lara Rodriguez, manager of Hoyo 19, “Yelow has attended us very well, the technical assistance has been perfect, the products were what we expected and when we had any doubts, they solved them immediately. Above all, we would like to highlight their punctuality, the quality of their service, the materials they work with, the human quality… what more could you ask for?… what more could we ask for?

One of the key points for an easy catering business, as identified by our philosophy and product catalog.

From here we send a big hug to all the team of Hoyo 19 Beach Club for having trusted us in this project.

What are you waiting for? We assure you that you will want to spend the rest of the summer there!
