Background
Desire to increase sales of savory sandwiches, with an aim to sell fresh cutlet sandwiches.
Due to our desire to increase sales of savory sandwiches such as croissant sandwiches and cutlet sandwiches, a central kitchen was built to produce them collectively in one place.
We learned about DEPAK while we were looking for the way to preserve pork in good condition to deliver the cutlet to each restaurant in good condition and serve them fresh. After trying DEPAK, we found the potential for reducing food loss as well as maintaining the quality and decided to use DEPAK.
Effects
It was easy to keep the quality of food the same as when it arrived and enabled us to set the finishing temperature at one that is suitable for cooking
Pork for cutlet sandwiches comes in chilled and they are preserved with DEPAK. Though some pork is preserved in chunks, sliced and minced/ground pork are also preserved with DEPAK. After being stored for a few days, pork is normally discolored, and some parts must thrown away. However, with DEPAK, we rarely have to throw away ingredients.
I was very surprised that there is no drip loss, no odor and no change from when it arrived. It is better to keep pork cold and frozen to slice and mince it. As it is possible to preserve it at optimal temperature with DEPAK, it can be processed quickly.
As using it is same as conventional refrigerators, it is easy for anyone to use.
Three DEPAKs were installed at Mikadukiya Higashihie store. We are able to preserve various ingredients with DEPAK. Though we originally planned to only use DEPAK for pork, the condition was better than expected, so we use DEPAK for preserving other ingredients such as lettuce. Leaf vegetables get easily damaged and discolored. Discolored lettuce has to be thrown away, but we don’t need to worry about discoloration when we use DEPAK. At first we thought DEPAK would be hard to use, but it was easier than expected because it’s similar to a conventional refrigerator.
The comments from the store
First, we installed DEPAK only at the Higashihie store, but now we have installed it at four more stores.
We were very pleased that DEPAK can be used for any kind of ingredients and there is no drip, discoloration, and odor from minced and ground pork. I hope DEPAK would be installed at all sorts of restaurants.
Data
Higashihie store of Mikadukiya, croissant specialty stores specializing natural yeast, has the central kitchen, so we can cook savory sandwiches after customers’ orders and serve them fresh.
