Keep your fries crispy in your restaurant & all the way home. Lamb Weston Stealth Fries stay hotter and crispier up to twice as long as traditional fries due to their invisible potato starch coating. With these fries, you’ll exceed expectations for delivery, takeout, and in-house orders.
Step one: What’s New on the menu?
You don’t have to offer the exact same menu that you offer in the dining room and, in fact, you probably shouldn’t. Exclude any options that need excessive packaging or don’t travel well or replace them with delivery-friendly swaps such as Stealth Fries.
Step Two: Pick Up Zone activated
Offering delivery or pickups means a change in logistics. Do you have a dedicated place for packing things up? Where will you hold items? Where will they be picked up? Think through the entire process and how it will work for your venue.
Step Three: Safe in transit
Set yourself up for success by using delivery-ready packaging, packing containers full so even if they are turned upside down they will arrive intact, air-ventilated boxes, and wrapping things up so spills aren’t even an option.
Step Four: Follow up
How do you keep getting better? When it comes to delivery you’ll rely on follow-up surveys and reviews. What’s working? What’s not working? What are customers ordering? It’s all data you can use to make sure your delivery program is successful. Don’t be afraid to make changes.

Say Hello to The Green Butcher – Markwell Foods’ latest and most innovative range yet. Leading the frozen food service market across various categories, Markwell Foods has identified the need for a quality and delicious plant-based range to support the evolving hospitality industry.
The Green Butcher is an 100% plant-powered alternative loved by vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters alike. The range is made from delicious and nutritious plant-based ingredients, bursting with flavours and textures you would expect from meat-based proteins.
Although still niche, vegan and vegetarian customer rates are rapidly growing. Likewise, is the conscious reduction of meat by meat-eaters. This increase is placing pressure on already overwhelmed and understaffed kitchens for vegan menu options. For many, it seems to be costly, difficult, and time-consuming to have a vegan-friendly menu item, but the economic reap of not having one, can be even more harmful. The lack of vegan options can lead diners and their extended dining group to eat elsewhere, leading to a large loss of business.
The Green Butcher range is designed to help chefs create affordable, easy, & quick vegan-friendly meals by enabling a seamless substitute of meat-based favourites with their plant-based alternatives. Sub beef patties with their No Beef Burgers, or replace chicken in a wrap, with their No Chicken Schnitzel for a delicious and easy cabinet food option.
Using one plant-based protein in various ways provides options for your customers such as using The Green Butcher No Meat Balls in a pita, as a canape or in a pasta. The Green Butcher products are also a favourite amongst meat-eaters. The golden and crunch No Cheese & Spinach and No Cheese & Jalapeno Bites are menu must-haves.
