Why Buy Prep?
Today’s chefs face many challenges. Kitchen areas are often small and cramped to maximise table areas. Labour costs are always rising,
which is putting more pressure on kitchens bottom line. In the meantime, consumers are more discerning if not more demanding:
they know they are paying much more than the mere food costs and they want value for money so hearty food, innovative menu,
good ambience and friendly service are essential to survive in today’s competitive market.
