The Rise of Online and Virtual Restaurants Worldwide

May 25

Delivery food apps are defining and changing the scope of the restaurant industry. The establishment of online/virtual restaurants has altered how people make orders, how and what they eat.

The digital establishments have eliminated the need for hiring staff and the requirement of a dining hall. There are different virtual restaurant apps that users can download from either Google Play or the App Store. Some apps, such as Uber Eats, Grubhub, and DoorDash, are playing an essential role in the delivery of food. Two tiers define online food delivery.

Aggregators

They apply the brick and mortar model for food delivery. Aggregators provide access to several virtual restaurants through the provision of a single online portal. After logging in to the mobile app, consumers are capable of comparing prices and menus. The aggregator is paid a commission on successful orders by the restaurants, who handle the actual delivery.

New Delivery

The new delivery apps also permit the consumers to compare the meals on offer and make orders from multiple restaurants. That happens through a single web portal or mobile app. New delivery players facilitate the provision of logistics to the virtual restaurant. Both the restaurant and customer share the cost charged by the new delivery players.

Differences Between Grills and Barbeque Restaurants Cooking Styles

Apr 16

In most cultures, people tend to use the terms interchangeably because it entails cooking meats. However, there are several differences.

Grills

Grilling is a method of cooking that applies high and direct heat. The high temperatures from a gas or charcoal grill radiate directly beneath the cooking surface. The meat has to be flipped multiple times since the heat emanates from one direction. Restaurants apply this to cook small and naturally tender meat cuts. For example, steaks, chicken breasts, seafood and chops are suitable for grilling. This method is swift and takes typically five to 20 minutes in most restaurants.

Barbeque

Barbeque is a cooking method used to cook meat indirectly on low and slow heat in restaurants. That means the flames are far underneath or on the side of the flesh. The lid is kept closed to cook the meat through convection heat as it circulates inside the cooking pot. This method is ideal for massive cuts, hard, and sinewy cuts with a significant quantity of connective tissue. It is perfect for cooking pork shoulders, ribs and briskets. The lower temperature and indirect heat mean that it takes longer before the meat is ready. It usually takes more than two hours before the meat is ready.

What Defines a Good Cigar Bar

Feb 12

 

At a time when restrictions on tobacco smoking are increasing, finding the best bars for relaxing is a comprehensive task. However, there a few things that define a good cigar lounge. They include the following.

Comfortable and Inviting

Smoking cigars is about enjoying your time and experience. A good bar must be comfortable and inviting, such that the customers are not in a hurry to leave. Good wall colours, squishy leather seats, and less-bright light may make the guest stay rather than purchasing and leaving. Don’t forget to arrange the furniture well and ensure the free-flow of air inside.

Alcoholic Drinks

Most cigar lounges don’t sell alcoholic beverages. However, some allow the clients to carry their own alcohol to enjoy while relaxing and smoking cigars. If you are a budding entrepreneur, you may decide to open a small section and lounge for selling alcohol.

Cleanliness

Customers like staying in clean lounges. For instance, you don’t want people throwing the cigar filters on the floor after smoking. Always ensure there are enough ashtrays and bins to dump the waste. Any ash spills on the floors should be cleaned frequently to get rid of the smell and dirt.
