After 10 years in the catering industry, we have had enough of using inferior catering equipment. We engaged Catering Innovation Agency Ireland to redesign, supply and install a new kitchen. They arranged a temporary kitchen and food offering for the couple of days while they were re-modelling our kitchen. They designed and implemented a kitchen which has saved us over €400 a month in electricity bills and has all but eliminated our gas bill. In addition our kitchen is now cooler and our catering staff have a far superior kitchen to work in. We also implemented a Palux pressure steamer which guarantees freshly cooked vegetables almost instantaneously which prevents food wastage and provides our clients with freshly cooked veg on demand.
I would recommend CIA Ireland to any catering professional who wishes to streamline their operation and reduce costs.
Lehman Brothers was collapsing when I installed a new Palux kitchen from the CIA back in September 2008. To this day, the kitchen has served thousands of our customers, and we have benefited from excellent after-sales service from Seamus Marnane and his team at the CIA. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone considering a new commercial kitchen.
Careful and comprehensive planning with Seamus Marnane and Enda O’Donoghue from the Catering Innovation agency ltd resulted in a bespoke Palux Kitchen.
The benefits of Palux energy saving salamanders were noted and two were installed in the main kitchen and one in the breakfast servery. Palux Pan M ensure stress free banquet preparation while the Palux touch and steam ovens are everyday work horses in a hotel synonymous with the racing Industry
The quality of the Palux kitchen will see the food service operation meets the challenges that lie ahead for the Nallen family at Hotel Minella .
Depths of preparation surface are bespoken up to 800 mm ensuring lots of room and less walking for staff.
Energy efficient salamanders ensure speedy service while a Palux pressure steamer means a stream of fresh vegetables is always to hand for that unexpected coach tour.
The CIA really took the time to understand our business and its future direction before designing a tailored solution. They carefully considered every aspect of our needs, checking in with our team throughout the process to ensure every detail was right. Their approach wasn’t just about selling a product—it was about creating a solution that truly works for us, and their commitment and expertise have made a real difference.
I have been using CIA for over 10 years now and have found them to be absolutely top class, from the initial first call right through to the design and installation of the equipment, their service team should you need them are great, particular shout out to Keith, always available day or night. The CIA are a very professional company start to finish.
