How do you choose the right fry supplier for your hospitality business?
Great fries start with a reliable supplier. Whether you run a restaurant, bistro, snack bar, or beach pavilion, the quality of your fries plays a crucial role in your guests’ dining experience. But what should you actually look for when searching for a fry supplier? We’ve outlined the key factors to consider.
Opt for consistent quality
Guests expect the same taste and quality every time. That’s why it’s important for your supplier to use high-quality potatoes and maintain a consistent production process. This ensures that every delivery meets the same standard, helping you avoid any surprises in the kitchen.
Pay attention to potato origin
An increasing number of guests want to know where their food comes from. Dutch potatoes provide the perfect foundation for high-quality fresh fries. At Boerderij Friet, we grow our potatoes in the clay soil of Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, resulting in a rich flavor and excellent texture. We use the Agria variety, widely considered the best potato for making fries.
Reliable delivery is essential
In the hospitality industry, running out of stock is the last thing you want. Choose a supplier who honors agreements and offers multiple deliveries per week. This allows you to maintain your inventory levels and consistently offer guests the quality they expect, even during busy periods.
Fresh or frozen?
Many hospitality businesses still opt for frozen fries for the sake of convenience. However, more and more entrepreneurs are switching to fresh, pre-fried farm-style fries. Fresh fries offer an artisanal appeal and a pure potato flavor, creating a distinctive dining experience. Moreover, guests increasingly appreciate fresh, local products. Another major advantage is that our fresh, pre-fried farm-style fries require only a few minutes of final frying, as they have already undergone a thorough pre-frying process.
Personal service makes the difference
A good supplier does more than just deliver a product; they also think along with you. Whether you have questions about preparation, shelf life, or which type of fry best suits your business, personal advice is just as important as a competitive price. That is the benefit of buying from a relatively small company that handles both cultivation and processing in-house.
Choose quality
At Boerderij Friet, we manage the entire process ourselves: from growing the potatoes to washing, cutting, and pre-frying the fries. This allows us to guarantee consistent quality as we supply fresh farm-style fries to hospitality businesses throughout the Netherlands and Belgium.
