The Best Fish and Chip Suppliers
After buying or leasing the building where your chip shop
will be situated, the next most important step is buying
supplies to get your business on the right tracks.
Though that list may be extensive, depending on how large your chip
shop is, consider the basics first: if you're just getting started or looking
to review your business, T. Quality recommends that you buy your
supplies from a reputable fish and chip wholesaler.
A wholesaler for fish and chips will supply plenty of ingredients and
provide a variety of different options for you to consider but primarily
quality, service and cost are the keys to success when supplying
excellent fish and chips to the masses.
You should also consider buying a frying range which not only suits your
needs but fries your customers’ food to the very best standards each
and every time. Should you choose a counter range? Or maybe an
island or wall range? - a discussion with award winning Kiremko ranges
from K.F.E would be a good place to start. You may also wish to
diversify your menu to supply customers seeking take away foods other
than fish and chips – lots of options to think about!
Fish & Chips - Service, Service, Service
Good customer service is the heart of any business. You can offer meal
promotions and reduce prices to bring in as many new customers as you
want, but unless you can get some of those customers to come back
buying your fish and chips, your business won't be profitable for long.
Greeting customers, being helpful, listening carefully, all go without
saying but what about offering something extra as part of the order?
Whether it's a coupon for a future discount or a genuine smile,
customers love to get more than they thought they were getting. And
don’t think that a gesture has to be large to be effective. One fish and
chip owner we know gave away a free lollypop to the children of families
ordering fish and chips. A small thing, but appreciated by both parents
and children.
The Smaller Things
After getting your basic supplies to help prepare the fish & chips core of
your business, T.Quality recommends buying the little things your
customers will use considerably. These include sauces, napkins,
packaging, forks and drinks. You should also consider acquiring some
different food supplies to make any food items that can provide more
diversity to your regular fish and chip shop menu.
