The art of making a table dazzle, that the cutlery brings brightness by its colors, the dishes by its originality, that everything goes in tune with the environment in which it is, is easier than you think. Discover in this blog how to make your table shine.

The key to a brilliant presentation is the harmony that must exist between the ambiance of the place, what we want to convey. We must even create a coherence between the objects and the food we want to serve.

It is about decorating an unforgettable experience, not just a simple table, making the instruments and household items become key points to help us build moments that “Make Home”.

It is a line of the house Bonna, it is made of porcelain and its shapes and colors will not leave anyone indifferent. In addition, if you are one of those who think that the presentation on the plate does matter, the Faragüit line offers you a multitude of options; for desserts, as a tray or for a very chic appetizer among others. Make your guests fall in love twice, first through the sight and then when they taste your delicious recipes.

Perhaps you prefer a simple, minimalist atmosphere with a modern and original touch. For this option we recommend the tableware that combines perfectly with these elements, the Illusion Aluminite. Its off-white color, its discreet decoration and magnificent resistance make it ideal for everyday moments that are also “home made”.

If what you are looking for is a tableware that is witness to all the joys and happy moments lived around your table you will be “in love” with the Lykke dinnerware. It is informal and contemporary at the same time with a variety of pleasant pastel shades, it is the ideal dinnerware.

As you can see there are as many dishes and plates as there are colors and recipes, but to make your guests’ experience as complete as possible, we can’t stay halfway, once we have chosen the tableware we must combine it with the most appropriate glasses and cutlery for the occasion.

New vs. second hand catering machinery

by

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?

by

But since we have the recipe to enrich bland hospitality businesses :), we have decided to make it even easier for any professional from all over Spain to ask us for information and advice. That’s why we have created a specific website where we explain what we can do for your business, project or idea: www.hosteleriafacil.pro/solucionesVisit it, smile, tell us how much you like it and share.

Tips on how to clean pots and cookware

by

In the world of hospitality it is essential to keep our crockery, cutlery, pots, pans, frying pans and cookware in perfect condition. In addition to keeping them clean, we must go a step further and always have a totally disinfected and debacterized kitchen.

It is normal that over time, the exteriors of the pots and pans get the color of burnt, or that some cooked food has passed to a better life by some small oversight. To solve these possible mishaps, we propose several ways and tricks to leave your cookware as good as new.

Sodium bicarbonate.

sodium bicarbonate

One of the properties of baking soda is that it contains natural acid particles. This gives it great properties for use as a cleaning product.

Try sprinkling in the bottom of your pots a little of this product, about two tablespoons, add a splash of water and bring it to a boil. Wait a few minutes. Add baking soda again, this time on your sponge and use your usual detergent. You will see how the grease comes out more easily. Don’t forget to rinse with plenty of water and dry with a clean, dry cloth.

Vinegar.

Try using the vinegar directly on the pan, pour it on the surface, either inside or outside, wait a few seconds and scrub with the sponge. Depending on the type of material of the pots you could use an aluminum scouring pad, but we recommend that you use it only on the outside of your cookware, and ONLY if the material allows it, as you could scratch your pots and we do not want them to lose their properties.

Vinegar is a great degreaser and disinfectant, it has the advantage of being totally natural as well as being a good product to eliminate all types of odors.

Lemon.

Lemon can also be used to shine your pots, pans and cookware. Cut the lemon in half and rub it on the part where you have the grease stain or burn, wait a few minutes and try cleaning as usual. The lemon cleans and disinfects and leaves the surfaces shiny.

Water and salt.

This simple method can be useful if the food is not stuck to the surface of the pan.

Make a first cleaning with your usual detergent, once only the stuck parts remain, pour a finger of water and add a handful of salt, bring it to a boil and let it stand for about 20 minutes. Clean again with the sponge and the detergent and you will see how your food stains will disappear.

Degreasing products.

degreaser to clean pots and pans

There are a multitude of degreasing products on the market that help to completely clean cookware and other items. They are just as effective as the previous methods, but we have found one drawback: they are products based on chemical reactions. They are less respectful with the environment and with the health of your skin than the methods we have proposed above.

At Yelow we are committed to the environment. We believe that the hospitality business must do its bit to make this world more sustainable. Working on chemical free cleaning and making our restaurants “ecofriendly” spaces.

Finally, we propose a method that will enhance the cleaning and disinfection of your pots and pans and other kitchen utensils. Yelow installs the Ecoworld system . An effective and practical solution that consists of an ozone treatment that achieves a high cleaning and degreasing power, without having harmful effects on our skin, and without the use of chemical products, so harmful to the environment and our health.

All these methods will help you to keep your pots, pans and cookware in perfect condition.

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?

Ecoworld System. Saving and environmental care. Breakfast presentation.

by

Did you miss the event where we presented the advantages of the Ecoworld system?

If you were unable to attend, read on and we’ll tell you all about it.

From Yelow, and at Pilsa Educa’s facilities, we organized a small breakfast demonstration of how the Ecoworld system can benefit your kitchen and your pocket.

We invited to the event several managers of the hospitality industry in Granada, on the one hand, those who already have the Ecoworld system installed so that they could testify the benefits that it brought them and on the other hand, those interested in this new water ozonation system.

We also invited several media outlets so that they could give testimony of what you wanted to tell.

Beginning of the breakfast presentation

Ecoworld and yelowOur manager, Miguel Ángel López, welcomed the attendees to this breakfast demonstration by presenting the concept of easy hospitality. How we intend to reach all restaurateurs in the easiest way possible. Putting our Cash and Carry with more than 17000 references in stock at the disposal of small and big restaurateurs.

He also tells us how in our beginnings we were only dedicated to the installation of kitchens and machinery, but we have undergone an evolution offering 360 solutions to those restaurateurs who need a complete advice for their business.

Within this advice we must name Pilsa Educa, our company dedicated to training in hospitality, essential to continue improving and innovating in the kitchens.

But well, you already know us well enough, let’s get to the heart of the event, the Ecoworld system.

What is the Ecoworld system?

The Ecoworld system is a machine that converts water into liquid ozone. Ozone is the most important ecological disinfectant that exists. We know that it is capable of disinfecting up to 99.6% of all bacteria.

Thanks to ozone, we would avoid the use of chemical products, which are so harmful to the environment.

In addition, it is estimated that the average expenditure on chemicals in the hospitality industry is around €3,000. Imagine saving that €3,000 year after year, and on top of that, helping the environment by being more sustainable.

We cannot forget the other advantages of the Ecoworld system. On the one hand, food preservation. Did you know that washing food with ozone can extend its shelf life up to 5 days longer than usual?

And on the other hand, the health of your employees. The use of gloves will no longer be necessary

that ozone does not harm the skin, in fact it helps to keep it healthy.

And how can I apply all these advantages to my business?

We have customized solutions for each case. We bring the ozone to your business so you can see in situ the advantages we offer, making a pre-installation and demonstration of how it works.

ecoworld demoAnd as an example, we took our guests to the part where Pilsa Educa has installed the Ecoworld machine and we demonstrated how to clean an extractor grill with the Ecoworld system. Here are some before and after photos.

And to top it all off, we enjoyed this great breakfast prepared by Carlos Caballero Sanguino, our great chef from Pilsa Educa.

All this, broadcasted from our facilities by the radio program COPE Granada. Here you have the link to enjoy it:

We would like to thank all the hospitality professionals who joined us that day, Pilsa Educa for lending us their facilities and serving us that great breakfast, Ecoworld’s colleagues for the demonstration, the communication professionals who joined us in the event and especially our customers for sharing their experience.

Shall we have a mocktail?

by

We are sorry to have to mention it, but it is a fact: this summer is coming to an end. September is just around the corner, that cursed month in which the calendar insists us to get back to the routine and resume all those tasks and obligations that for some days we have completely forgotten, focusing exclusively on disconnecting and recharging batteries. That’s assuming that you have enjoyed your vacation days, since some of us have continued working, in our case to offer you a lot of news for the return to school, of which you will soon have new news.

However, regardless of whether you are still on vacation or like us you are already working, we still have a few weeks left of the warm temperatures typical of this season, as well as all the plans that allow us to make: enjoy family and friends, make getaways to the beach (or mountain, according to taste), terraces, savor a good gastronomy full of seasonal products, accompanied by cold drinks. And one of our favorite options for this time of year are the mocktails.

Mocktail GrenadineBUT WHAT IS A MOCKTAIL?

The mocktails are cocktails or mixtures made with non-alcoholic beverages, especially indicated to enjoy outdoors in good company. Its origin comes from the English language, which uses the term ‘mock’ (which could be translated as simulated or pretended) to allude to its innocuous and alcohol-free character, although its preparation and final appearance is very similar to that of such well-known drinks as the Cosmopolitan, mojitos or caipirinha.

Beyond its non-alcoholic character, which is an interesting alternative for a wide public (drivers, pregnant women, athletes, teetotalers, children and a long etcetera), the main attractions offered by mocktails are their succulent flavors and low caloric content, which has made them a rising ‘healthy’ trend in the restaurant sector. In fact, more and more catering establishments are including in their menus a section specifically dedicated to this type of cocktail.

Most of them combine different flavors in the same preparation, although the base is usually fruit juices, with exotic or tropical seasonal varieties being widely used, which combined with other elements guarantee a high refreshing power. Other alternatives can be the introduction of cold infusions in the mixture, bubbles through tonic or soda, some textures playing with different types of sugar, crushed ice, solid elements (vegetables, blueberries, cherries or grapes) or mint or thyme leaves.

Either way, any combination is an option to keep in mind for those who want to maintain healthy habits even in the summer.

HOW TO PREPARE THE PERFECT MOCKTAIL

Regardless of the ingredients chosen to prepare it, one of the key aspects to achieve the perfect mocktail are the utensils to be used in the preparation phase (which is an art in itself) and, above all, in the final presentation of the cocktail.

So that you can surprise your customers or guests at home, our product catalog offers you everything you need for an excellent presentation, conquering both the palate and the eyes. The essential elements that you should count on are:

  • Cocktail shakers: the container in which to make the mixture can be made of metallic or transparent materials to refine the color in your first creations. There are models with different capacities (aspect to take into account depending on the number of guests) and it is advisable that they are equipped with gauges.
  • Mixing utensils: essential are strainers for juices with pulp, tongs for handling ice, crushers and specific knives for fruit or chopping ice.
  • Measurers: they will help you calculate the exact dosage of each ingredient so that the mixture is perfectly balanced.
  • Juicers: an indispensable element when working with fresh fruit, the basis for a large number of cocktails, with specific utensils for the most common ones, such as lime, lemon or orange.
  • Specific glassware: after all the love put into our creation, it is of vital importance to choose the right glassware, so that the final result is spectacular, enhancing all the colorfulness of the mixture and enhancing its flavor through the choice of the shape of the container.

Mocktail elaborationAlthough one of the best ways to learn how to prepare excellent, tasty, colorful and refreshing mocktails is experimentation, it never hurts to have the advice of a professional to guide us in our first steps in this discipline. A good option could be to attend one of the cocktail workshops we have organized in collaboration with Pilsa Educa, such as the masterclass conducted by the bartender Antonio Garrido a few weeks ago, of which you can see a video summary here.

We recommend you not to miss the opportunity to participate in the next one we organize and also to consult our catalog of cocktail products, where you will find everything you need to start your career as an expert bartender.

You’ll see how soon you’ll start surprising with your own mocktails! And if you want, you can share your creations with us on our social media channels.

It’s that easy, that Yelow.
