Is there anything better than those days at the beach that last almost until nightfall?
These summer days are rounded off by adding the picnic factor, opting for light, simple and tasty recipes to devour while sitting on the sand or with your feet soaking in the water.
Today at Yelow we share with you 3 delicious meal ideas to take to the beach that you can make with our featured summer products.
Cold soups
How many gazpacho, salmorejo or ajoblanco fans do we have around here?
Nutritious, satiating and refreshing, these cold soups are the summer winners par excellence.
In addition, we can add anything we can think of as a topping: from diced boiled egg, diced ham, sesame or chia seeds to diced apple for an extra touch of freshness.
To prepare it, we recommend making it in a glass blender, which will emulsify the mixture better, resulting in a smoother and creamier soup.
The classic potato omelette
A basic that can never be missing in your beach cooler. To make it healthier you can avoid frying the potatoes and choose to steam them in the Lekuè Silicone Case.
With very little oil your potatoes will be made in a healthy, quick and healthy version.
A variety of fruit
And for dessert: fruit!
A perfect option to finish off the picnic in a healthy and nutritious way is to take to the beach a tupper with fresh fruit already cut and ready to eat.
Watermelon, mango, banana, apples … any of them is perfect to be part of a good fruit salad with which to recover all the energy that you have spent on a day at the beach.
So that you don’t waste too much time preparing the fruit, we recommend some utensils with which you can cut it quickly and easily.
The best moments (almost always) are lived around a table, and at Christmas these moments are multiplied.
The desire to get together, to celebrate and to recover all the lost moments is back, giving way to #NewFirstTimes.
If you are looking for your table to be at the height in all celebrations, from Yelow we propose a selection of tableware that will make your decoration will take all the looks of the party.

Current situation and historical evolution.
Crises close many doors but at the same time open others, new opportunities always appear because they “force” to evolve. Historically this has always been the case, for example, after the 2008 crisis, big companies like Airbnb and Uber appeared.
Currently, we find ourselves with a market that is reactivating, this is due to the fact that consumption is increasing, and there are more and more people willing to undertake in the hospitality industry. The liberalization of measures, the good weather and all the advances that are taking place, successfully promote the growth of the hospitality sector.
Industry trend.
As we have already mentioned, there are many people willing to undertake in the hospitality industry, looking for market niches, improve their offer, renew themselves, new trends, etc., some of these trends have already been discussed previously in our blog, such as the Dark Kitchen.
Hospitality has a very important social component and now it is going to be accentuated more than ever, as people are eager to take advantage of this “new freedom” in the best possible way. Enjoying with friends, with family, strengthening emotional ties and recovering those that may have been weakened during this time.
Another very important factor, for the regeneration of the hospitality industry and therefore helping entrepreneurship in the hospitality industry, is tourism. Little by little the doors are reopening, and Spain is one of the most coveted countries for tourists, and people are eager to come and enjoy themselves.
Recommendations for entrepreneurship.
Where should you start? The most important thing of all is to correctly analyze the market, the customers, their needs, their motivations, everything that can help us find that great opportunity.
Are you worried about financing? In recent years, new financing models have emerged, from crowfunding to private equity. In addition, many funding opportunities for startups and innovators have also appeared, as well as European grants…
In conclusion, we would like to encourage you all to become entrepreneurs in the hospitality industry, as we are in a time of change and opportunities.

Consumer habits are changing, delivery is in vogue, and more and more people are ordering home delivery or takeaway. Not only that, the demand for restaurant food is also increasing, i.e. more and more people are ordering food for delivery that is not “fast food”.
What are the key points of delivery?
Use of different platforms
It can be Deliveroo, Glovo, Just Eat, or any other application. It is not advisable to sign exclusivity with any of them, especially if you are just starting to dive into this exciting world. These applications will help you reach many more people in a much simpler way. But a word of warning: beware of commissions! Study well before your prices and the profitability of the dishes you are going to launch through these platforms.
Maximizing our customers’ experience
Applications can have a very flexible use if they are used properly. Customers are the backbone of our system, without them nothing would make sense, so we need to take the best possible care of them. From the service through an intuitive app, offering multiple options and recommendations, through excellent delivery management with different payment options to the quality, presentation and packaging of the food, culminating in the final feedback. Everything is part of the consumer experience, so it is important to know them, to offer them the best.
To increase or not our business with a delivery and/or take away service?
It is important when making this important decision that we previously calculate the margins and profitability that we are going to obtain with our decision. As well as outlining a plan so that online and offline orders complement each other, to end up becoming an omnichannel strategy.
Finally, it is essential that we study the competition well in order to be able to differentiate ourselves correctly. These two models are in continuous growth; this past year they grew between 60% and 85%.
A piece of advice? Study your menu well and offer only those dishes that are easy to adapt to this business model, it is not mandatory to put your entire menu at the service of delivery or take away.

Do you know the new business models that have emerged in the hospitality industry thanks to the delivery boom? Today we present you the Dark kitchen & Virtual brands by Beer&Food.
The evolution of technology, changes in consumer tastes, and a long period of pandemic are some of the aspects that have most influenced the boom in delivery platforms.
For those of you who do not know Beer&Food is one of the largest franchising centers in Spain, leader in the restaurant sector. Some of the restaurants they are part of are Tony Roma’s, Carl’s Jr. and Tommy Mel’s.
How do these new business models work?
Virtual brands
It consists of the creation of new brands oriented exclusively to online sales and delivery. The aim is to achieve a larger market share and to be able to better adapt to new trends.
Beer&Food has created a portfolio of more than 10 virtual brands, including “California chicken”, “Yankee burger” and “Ocean poké”.
Dark kitchen
As their name suggests, they are kitchens, but they are hidden from the public. Therefore, their function is only to cook for delivery. This also implies a “new” type of kitchen staff, as they now need to be more agile, more flexible and more versatile.
The strategy followed by Beer&Food optimizes the space of these kitchens to cook dishes from the virtual brands mentioned above. They also offer their franchisees the possibility of incorporating some of the new brands to increase their profits.
The rise of delivery is forcing companies in the foodservice sector to constantly reinvent themselves. We must see this as an opportunity for new business models and new markets.
For all of you who have your own restaurant and are interested in adapting to these new delivery trends.
Can’t find the right containers for your products? Does the food arrive cold or not as well as it should? We recommend that you take a look at our catalog for all types of packaging, which is also environmentally responsible.

You know that friend who is there for everything? The one who always answers when you call him, who listens to you when you need him, who is always by your side. Well, something similar happens with the croquette, which can be served for dinner any day, as an accompaniment to any lunch, or as an appetizer before lunch. Today, January 16, is International Croquette Day, and at Yelow we want to celebrate it.
The croquette occupies an important place in our diet and it is also part of our tradition. A simple Google search returns thousands of interesting results and some links point to how to make the perfect croquette, although we all know which is THE CROQUETTE: the one your mother makes.
And although part of the secret is in the dough, there are also other elements that are key to making a good croquette. The utensils we use are of great importance for the success of our recipe. Here are four devices that will make it easier for you to achieve the perfect croquette.
Deep fryer. To ensure that it is cooked in the best way, the croquette should be made in a deep fryer. This way it will look the same on all sides, we make sure it does not break and it is cooked at the optimum temperature.
The croquette machine. On one side we put the dough, and with the help of a lever we turn it into three equal rolls. Now we only have to cut the dough to the length we want. A great help if you have to make a lot of dough.
Vacuum packing machine. Indicated especially for professionals who make a large amount of dough and can reserve a part to freeze. So another day we will only have to take them out of the freezer and fry them. To keep them better cold, nothing better than vacuum packing them first. This eliminates the spread of odors and they will keep better and longer.
Mini wooden pallets. The most original way to present this food. To place it in the center of the table or to put it next to each plate individually.
In Yelow you will find these and other items that will help you to get a high quality croquette. Visit us at our facilities in Parque Alban and you will be able to see everything we have for you. It’s that easy.
Wooden, clay, steel, glass… From the forbidden copper to the modern silicone. The history of our stoves is extensive and we have been acquiring and discarding all kinds of materials for the manufacture of our kitchenware.
Here we tell you which are the best materials for cooking:
Wood: the usual
Wood is a porous material that can seep moisture and cause bacteria to grow, which has earned it a reputation for being unhygienic, but depending on what utensil and what you use it for, it can be a very appropriate material. Spoons (for example) protect our pans and have a lower risk of generating these bacteria.
For domestic use, we suggest bamboo, which is prepared to withstand high temperatures and is very resistant.
Glass: clean and stable
Who hasn’t baked (or microwaved) macaroni in the typical glass tupperware?
It is ideal for the oven because it withstands very high temperatures. It is a clean material that does not transfer flavors or other elements of its composition to the food, which makes it one of the healthiest materials for cooking.
Stainless steel: harder than steel
Every professional kitchen is (or should be) covered with stainless steel. Work tables, cold rooms, baking plates…
Stainless steel is one of the most heat-stable materials and more resistant to shocks and falls, which makes it practically eternal. In addition, it is easy to clean, just hot water and a little detergent. However, do not go near a frying pan because steel utensils irreversibly scratch Teflon.
Silicone: the jewel in the crown
It is the ideal material. It is of natural origin and has many hygienic qualities, making it ideal for domestic and professional use.
Among its many advantages:
Non-porous
It is comfortably flexible (remember that cake pan that unmolds so easily).
Non-adherent, less soiling and better cleaning.
And it doesn’t burn! A few seconds after being in contact with a heat source, the silicone cools down and we can touch it without risk of burns. Perfect if you have children at home.
Cast iron: those pots that weigh so much
Cast iron pots and pans have taken over our homes in recent years. They come in many colors and sizes, so it is easy to see them in mini format to put tapas or individual portions.
It is a good material because it does not contain glazes, which avoids the risk of transferring harmful elements to the food.
And finally, the mud
They are very popular because they transmit heat slowly. They like them because they transmit heat little by little, but make sure that they are not enameled because the varnish could contain heavy metals that can pass into the food.
In this post we have summarized the most used materials in kitchen utensils, choosing the one that best suits your needs is up to you.
We will (always) recommend that you choose trusted brands with EU Quality Certification, which accredit the quality and origin of the materials, such as those we distribute at Yelow.
Take a look at our catalog, you will surely find what you need. And if you have any doubts, contact us without obligation.
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.
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.
Starting a new year invites us to renew ourselves, to consider new changes, so today we tell you what trends in the restaurant sector your business wants to try. In general terms, we see a healthier consumer, who is looking for new experiences and wants to share them with others. Take note!
ONLINE Mode
We are in a time where digital transformation is here to stay and it is not alien to the world of catering. We have a consumer who visits our restaurant and in parallel shares and values his experience, immediately reaching family or friends and satisfaction or dissatisfaction, leaves a digital footprint that must be taken care of because it affects brand reputation.
Additionally, it is essential to have a presence in digital media such as websites and social networks, as they become a key source of consultation for your business.
The consumer is also looking for ease and the growth in online reservations is advancing year after year. “40% of restaurants already receive online reservations, while 90% have profiles on social networks and 45% have their own website”, are the main conclusions of the Annual Report of the Hospitality Industry in Madrid, conducted by the Association, TripAdvisor and ElTenedor.
Ahh! and don’t forget that consumers are now fascinated by sharing on networks the best photos of the restaurant they visit or the food they order in your business, so take care of your look, because it matters a lot!
Attractive Experiences
When consumers go to a place to eat, good food is now not enough, as strange as it may seem. Increasingly, consumers are looking to pair a delicious meal with an engaging dining experience.
This is why concepts such as multisensory food with illuminated tableware, for example, are born, seeking to evoke emotions and stimulate the senses. It is clear that the challenge now is to provide a 360-degree experience, very positive and that leaves a very good taste!
Health Food
The importance of taking care of oneself (or fitnsess trend) is clearly impacting the world of Catering 2019. Consumers are increasingly interested in finding healthy menus, low in calories, high nutritional power, taste and exquisite presentation.

Here salads, light menus, creams, special drinks such as juices and smoothies featuring fruits and vegetables should be included in the offer of those looking for “healthier” snacks.
These places stand out for the organic and natural aspect that their decoration offers, to provide a pleasant and complete gastronomic experience. And they also look great when it comes to uploading photos to Instagram.
Special Menus
Just as the “healthy” world has specific needs, there are trends such as veganism and vegetarianism that require an offer of menus different from the conventional ones. It is also the case of people with food intolerances such as gluten or lactose that demand different products and attention.
In 2019, the foodservice sector expects this approach to see significant growth during the year and is sure to focus its attention on offering a variety of spaces that cater to this consumer as well.
At Yelow we provide you with everything you need to make your change resolutions easier.
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.
If 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.
A 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.
