One of the incredible things about participating in an excellent accelerator program like Startup Wise Guys is getting to know impressive projects and brilliant founders. Many people here don't know, but in 2008, I decided to open a small restaurant, turning a hobby into work. I left the advertising agency where I worked to start a new work routine in the kitchen of a restaurant with only 24 seats, called Varekay. I almost lost my taste for my hobby. Managing a restaurant can be a nightmare. One of the biggest challenges we faced was managing orders and suppliers. It took an absurd amount of time - everything was done by phone or physically - and any mistake could cause us a big problem. I preferred spending 6 hours in the kitchen than 2 hours dealing with suppliers, I confess. Then, during the acceleration program, I met Jack Clegg and the concept of Platter, his startup. I don't think I ever told him how impressed I was with the proposal he presented in his pitch deck. Jack grew up within the industry he decided to change, knew the problem, and developed the solution with incredible expertise. If there had been a Platter in 2008, maybe I would never have given up on Varekay. If you own a restaurant, I advise you to keep an eye on Platter.

The road to excellence   This month we developed a new product in our private label range.   This fulfilled a long-held desire.   After all, having our own brand has a number of advantages.   ✅100% availability With our private label, we are less depending on producers. By agreement we reserve particular quantities of the product. This allows us to guarantee availability even better.   ✅Grip on development We can optimize our private label whenever we want. This does not require coordination with suppliers. This allows us to respond better and faster to market demand.   ✅Constant quality and price With our own private label, we are less dependent on market fluctuations. In addition, we are closely involved in the production. This allows us to deliver consistent high quality at a competitive price.   A private label strengthens our market position.   This way, Squiby Foods develops into the go-to place for the best European products.   That is why we named it 'Fresh Avenue'.   Curious about what we can do for your wholesale business?   Get in touch with Robert Lesmeister.   #food #foodservice #wholesale #europe #business
