Know Your Oil
Oil isn’t just a cooking medium — it’s a key ingredient that impacts every bite.
Using high-quality oil reflects the same care you put into your food. Not only does it influence taste, texture and appearance, but properly maintained oil can also extend fryer life and reduce overall costs. Even gaining one extra day of oil life can make a noticeable difference to your bottom line.
And customers notice. According to Datassential, crispiness and flavor are two of the top reasons guests return for fried foods — both of which are directly impacted by the quality of your oil.
