Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Flaming Rooster, a popular takeaway in Leeds, was struggling to keep their Piri Piri chicken marinade consistent across different chefs and shifts. They switched to the pre-blended Schwartz Piri Piri seasoning to standardise their core product.
"Our customers noticed the difference straight away. The flavour is spot on every time, and it's knocked a good 15 minutes off our prep for each batch. It just makes everything simpler and more reliable."
Michael Davies ? Owner
The change resulted in a 95% consistency rating in internal taste tests and a noticeable uptick in positive online reviews mentioning their chicken's flavour.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting the Best From It
- For a classic dry rub, pat your meat dry and rub the seasoning in generously about 20 minutes before cooking.
- To make a wet marinade, mix the seasoning with a splash of oil (like rapeseed) and lemon juice to form a paste.
- Start with about 30-40g of seasoning per 1kg of chicken and adjust to your taste.
- Sprinkle it over chips or wedges fresh from the fryer for an instant flavour boost.
Keeping It Fresh
- Always snap the lid shut tightly after use to lock in the flavour and aroma.
- Store the tub in a cool, dry place, away from the steam and heat of your cookline.
- Avoid using a wet spoon to scoop out the seasoning, as moisture can cause it to clump.
- For best results, use before the 'Best Before' date printed on the pack.
