Sapore. Brazil, Mexico, Colombia.
“RATIONAL creates safe processes – so that we can serve 1.3 million meals daily.” - Daniel Mendez, President of Sapore
Welcome to Sapore in Brazil.
How more than 15,000 employees benefit from the advantages of modern kitchen technology.
Founded in 1992 as one of the pioneers of company restaurants, Sapore now runs a network of 1,255 restaurants and kitchens.
More than 15,000 employees serve more than 1.3 million meals every day. Sapore also has restaurants in Mexico and Columbia.
What makes it so successful? Nothing is left to chance at Sapore. All its workflows are aligned with value creation and sustainability. In order to ensure this, it relies on the very latest technology for professional kitchens available on the market.
Sapore has completed the transition from traditional to digital professional kitchen. More than 600 RATIONAL appliances are now used in Sapore kitchens.
Previously, when Sapore still used conventional kitchen appliances, the chefs had to complete a lot of tasks by hand, monitor cooking processes and supervise workflows. But that cost a lot of time. Today, by coordinating operations 20 % of that time is saved, and in production planning the figure is even higher: 35 %. The effects were already felt in the first month, as soon as a RATIONAL appliance was installed.
“Because we only invest in the best technologies, RATIONAL is the right choice for us.”
Daniel Mendez, President of Sapore
Reducing injuries to staff.
Optimising processes also means improving convenience and safety for the staff. For example, the room temperature in large kitchens often gets quite high and is difficult for the chefs to cope with. Because the SelfCookingCenter® and VarioCookingCenter® replace heat sources such as griddles and deep fryers, it was possible to reduce the temperatures in the Sapore kitchens by six degrees.
Installing the RATIONAL appliances also reduced the number of injuries to staff. Because the appliances securely shield the cooking process, they reduce the number of burns from splashes of hot fat and falls due to slippery floors. And since the staff no longer need to carry heavy pans of hot water, they experience less back pain and suffer fewer burns. Making workflows at all levels as safe and efficient as possible is part of the recipe for success.
Sapore is on the right track, with an impressive growth of 15 % per year, and RATIONAL will remain an important partner as it heads into the future. The merger of RATIONAL and FRIMA under one brand opens up new opportunities to further optimise the daily interaction between SelfCookingCenter® and VarioCookingCenter®. As with a good meal, it’s all a question of preparation and the right ingredients.
