why us
   
Canteen meals are highly underrated or worse, misunderstood. For the management, a meal break is an unproductive time of the workday; for an employee, the meal is just a bare minimum opportunity for satisfying hunger. We challenge this notion through diverse menus, dependable service and delicious meals.
 
Traditional Caterers Cloud Cooking
 
  Taste    
       
Lack of control over the quality of raw materials.
Manually driven and poorly controlled production processes.
 
No consistency in taste.
No concept of feedback or development of recipes.
 
We have a commitment to quality with a QC department and in-house laboratory to enforce it.
The whole cooking happens through automation and in a closed system. This guarantees consistent taste, every time.
 
We have developed our recipes through a rigorous feedback mechanism (50,000 feedbacks and counting).
We have an expert team of best-in-class chefs who continue to bring ideas that translate into delicious food.
       
  Variety    
       
Variety of menu is only notional, usually working through combinations of a limited number of cuisines and dishes.
 
Over-usage of specific vegetables like potato and cabbage on a regular basis.
 
Our menu options are creative and varied in the truest sense. Be it, Punjabi, Gujarati, Rajasthani, South Indian or Chinese - we are capable of mixing and matching the tastiest dishes from these cuisines.
 
Innovative and delicious dishes like Piri-Piri Puri, Chana Garlic Amritsari, Rajasthani Gatta Curry, Bhindi Do Pyaza, and Butterscotch Mava Barfi are just a small part of our exhaustive menu items.
       
  Hygiene    
       
No proper hygiene standards followed.
Vegetables may be cut on an open kitchen platform, washed using regular water and cooked in rusted utensils.
 
Workers hardly follow even basic personal hygiene practices.
 
We are India's only recipient of ISO 22000 Certification in our field.
All our cooking and serving equipment are specially made from high quality 304-grade Stainless Steel.
Our cooking spaces have separate sections for each process.
The entire facility is ventilated through a large-scale air-cooling system with microparticle level filtration.
 
The waste generated in the cleaning and cutting of vegetables is removed through a comprehensive drainage system.
All our employees follow stringent hygiene standards that involves showering and sanitisation before entering the facility, custom designed uniforms and regular QC and hygiene inspections.
       
  Quality of Raw Materials    
       
Sub-standard raw materials may be used for economic considerations.
 
Raw materials are often stored in poor conditions with lack of temperature, humidity and pest control.
 
Our comprehensive purchasing process includes short-listing of recognised suppliers, followed by batch testing comprising moisture, adulteration, visualisation and protein test at our in-house laboratory.
We have skilled and experienced agricultural commodities buyers who specialise in recognising the best quality grains, vegetables, oils and dairy products.
 
The raw materials are stocked in our large storage facility that includes two specialised cold storage units that control temperature and humidity.
Our entire facility is a pest-free zone with regular inspection and maintenance.
       
  Management & Systems    
       
Complete absence of professional and qualified management team.
 
Processes and systems, even if present, are manually driven.
 
Each functional area including purchasing, storage, production, quality control and logistics is managed by highly qualified professionals with a wealth of experience.
 
All processes are governed by world-class ERP software and other customised applications.
       
  Cost    
       
There is more to the cost than what meets the eye. Everyday operating costs of on-site kitchens (like labour, maintenance, storage infrastructure, food wastage, fuel, electricity, water etc.) are hardly ever accounted but are heavily paid for.
 
Sometimes in a bid to match a competitive price, the quantity and quality of the raw material and end product is compromised.
 
There are no hidden costs with us.
 
The price you pay includes diverse menus, dependable service and delicious meals.
