Quandt's Foodservice Distributors

The cold is on its way in. You can feel it in the air, you can see the frost on the grass, you instinctively dig out your car starter, and if you’re anything like me you’ll start craving steaming hot beverages. The one thing I can never get enough of is Hot Chocolate!! There’s nothing like being able to cuddle up in a blanket on the couch with a big delicious cup of rich Hot Chocolate; especially when it’s spruced up with some whipped cream or marshmallows!! Here are some great recipes that you can whip up!

We luckily have a wide selection of Hot Chocolate at Quandts. We have no-sugar added, regular, white chocolate, plenty of different brands, and lots of other hot delicious beverages as well (coffee, cappuccino, tea, etc). I especially love our Paul DeLima White Hot Chocolate  It is the perfect mix of sugar, cream, and chocolaty goodness; add some whipped cream and you have heaven on a snowy day.

A few weeks ago, Richie from Rich’s stopped by to give us some samples of their gluten free pizza crusts.  Now, for the unenlightened, you may be thinking- Hey! Where’s the flour?!  But the truth of this product is in a story Richie told us.

Though kids don’t carry the family wallet, they still exert plenty of financial influence in the dining arena. From burger joints and pizzerias to sandwich shops and fast-casual chains, restaurants across the country have clamored for their slice of the kids’ menu pie with targeted offerings and a kid-centric vibe.
Today, the kids’ menu remains a compelling—if not necessary—restaurant program. With attractive dining options and an equally pleasing kid-friendly environment, many operations are wooing families and their influential youngsters through the doors—and reaping profits for their efforts.

February Brings Lots Of Reasons To Celebrate!
Start planning your promotions now for the holidays in February that will have your customers looking for a place to celebrate!

Super Bowl Sunday – Sunday, February 1: If your establishment has a bar and a big screen TV or several screens, consider hosting a Super Bowl Party. Offer a buffet and beer at a discount to bring in the patrons! Serve wings, subs, pizza, and other traditional football fare and you’ve got a ready-made tailgate party!

Valentine’s Day – Saturday, February 14: Create the ambiance for a romantic dinner for two. Include a fine wine selection and delectable desserts. Consider a special Valentine’s Day menu for that day and include two or three choices of appetizers, salads, entrees, specialty coffees and desserts. Perhaps give a long-stemmed red rose to all female patrons to make the event extra special. End the evening with two mints when presenting the check. This kind of attention to detail earns repeat business!
