We know that although it’s still summer and apparently the high temperatures will be with us a while longer, the season is coming to its end for you and, as it cannot be helped, you are already planning what is coming up next: change of habits, new tendencies and big celebrations like Christmas.
In García de Pou we syntonize with those who are already preparing everything in order to be ready on the great day.
So, you can already check our catalogue of Halloween and Christmas!
Communication is the first service that clients receives from us. What really makes clients feel uncomfortable is what they perceive on an emotional level. We all know that it’s essential for staff to be attentive in oder to guarantee good service, but misunderstanding information and confusion also generates discomfort for the client and can effect their decisions when shopping.
“It’s not enough to express a message; if it was not received or was not understood, communication did not take place.”
García de Pou’s Cash & Carry in Madrid is located in Usera, on 236, Antonio Lopez Street, near the Almendrales underground station. It’s a hotel supply store with 6.000 items in permanent stock. Better still, you can buy in low quantities at manufacturer prices. You are therefore able to test products before making up your mind on which one presents the best solution for your business or event.
Pizza, even in its humble origins, was already a fast food. The pizza boxes of García de Pou, in their basic design, are illustrated with the green, white and red colours. Of course, these are the colours of the Italian flag! Is it coincidence that the margherita pizza also have these colours?
If you are wedding planner or other events organizer it can be that you have clients who hire you to plan family parties, or parties before-the-wedding, after-the-wedding, or supplementary caterings that don’t need porcellain and silver tableware. Sometimes a very high budget is already assigned to the main catering and for the supplementary parties it would be fine to be able to reduce costs.
Some food delivery companies have broken the moulds. From now on, you don’t just need a pizza, kebab or Chinese food craving in order to get a take away. There are companies bringing traditional restaurant food as well as the coolest restaurant’s menu with the latest gastronomic tendencies over to their client’s houses.
Tapas are much more than just a small portion. In Spain they are a sociable activity, a way of sharing with friends and family, a way of going out; it’s eating in company in a casual and spontaneous way. Tapas is such an established habit in the Spanish culture (although it’s not a very old custom, dating “only” from the 19th century), that the Minister of Culture proposed “Tapas” to be declared as World Heritage by UNESCO. Tapas don’t boast this title yet but nevertheless, there is World Tapas Day, which is celebrated on the 3rd Thursday of June.
The napkin has not always been a ‘must have’ item on the table. The historian Carlos Fisas explains in his book Bon appetite! that it was Leonardo da Vinci who invented the napkin in 1491. The genius wrote in his diaries that for as long as he worked for the Duke of Milan as Master of Ceremonies, he thought of offering an alternative way for guests to wipe their hands during banquets.
In last week’s post we showed you some of the most valued novelties in our catalogue. We talked about our 100% flushable towelettes and Like-linen napkins that so closely resemble the touch of soft cotton.
This week we’re going to introduce you to some more novelties that our customers are keen to hear about!
