Tootie Pie is establishing its reputation at the high end of the niche market for PIE! Tootie Pies have tapped into the indulgence end of the dessert market. Restaurant patrons are looking for a sophisticated comfort food and that is precisely what Tootie Pie delivers – with profit and convenience for the restaurant owner!
Pies are seeing a resurgence in popularity in the foodservice market at this time. Comfort food is still strong. Dataseential with its Menu Trends Direct determined pie held 35% of the dessert restaurant market! Restaurants are promoting the concept of ‘take-out’ desserts coupled with ‘take-home’ desserts. Having your meal and taking your dessert home for later is a trend that is gaining in popularity.
American culture reveres the pie and restaurants find them to be an indispensable part of their standard menu. Restaurant patrons are demanding an enhanced assortment of high-quality desserts. However, with kitchen space and labor at a premium this is one menu item that can be purchased with quality control for freshness and quality.
American restaurants are more inclined to purchase a pie as a prepared dessert over virtually all other options due to its high quality after being frozen. In a survey by the Perfect Puree of Napa Valley, those purchasing value added desserts products ranked three top dessert qualities:
- Taste – 96%
- Freshness 93%
- Consistency 91%
To deliver consistently a product must hold up in the freezer and retain quality for at least two to three days once it’s out. Tootie Pies meet all these criteria!
Equipment and supplies sales for pie production is specialized and this serves as a bar to entry into the pie preparation business for a restaurant. This makes a Tootie Pie a very desirable option for a restaurant.
If a foodservice operation is baking cakes and pies from a scratch on-premise, a wide variety of equipment and supplies is required. Wholesalers are ready to bake and so the restaurant can serve a high quality dessert while focusing on what they do best. Wholesalers can deliver a finished frozen product that simply needs to be thawed and served. The foodservice dessert is burgeoning.
Pie baking requires a good mixer and oven. A good convection (rack) oven or a good deck oven must be dedicated to pie baking because its circulating air promotes an even bake. The mixer of choice for dessert production is the vertical mixer which contains different agitators for thorough mixing: the wire whip and the paddle or beater.
Dough sheeters or pie presses are required for pie production supported by reach-in refrigerators and freezers.
Tootie Pie is enjoying the sweet smell of Pie Success!
