Our plant-based expertise for Quick Service Restaurants
As consumers increasingly choose a lifestyle with less or no meat, Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) are offering more plant-based products on their menus. Schouten’s dedicated QSR team is happy to act as a source of inspiration for your QSR chain and to develop healthy, flavourful and customised plant-based products. These are all successful sustainable products that make everyone happy: from your customers to the people behind the cash register and in the kitchen. Let us think with you – whether inside the box of your product brief, or even a little bit out of it!
Why QSR chains choose to partner with Schouten:
Innovative products with more flavour
Product development with an eye for QRS operations
Flexible processes for optimal QSR support
Our knowledge of the world is at your disposal
Innovative products with more flavour
For years, Schouten has been proving that plant-based products can be delicious, as well as sustainable and healthy. We love to put our unique and extensive knowledge of taste trends, raw materials and preparation techniques to work for your QSR chain. A delicious burger or tasty crispy chicken pieces, anyone? The R&D specialists of our dedicated QSR team will set to work based on your brief or idea, but they are also not afraid to think outside of the box.
Product development with an eye for QRS operations
The quality of a plant-based product concept can be excellent, but if there are concerns in the operations of your restaurants, then success cannot be guaranteed. At Schouten, we understand the QSR chain like no one else. During the product development phase, we help you think through how you can optimally and safely integrate our quality product into your way of working.
Our expert Coen is happy to help
