A lot can happen in a year. In 1 year, England had 3 prime ministers. In a year a child can grow from birth to taking their first step. And in the past year London-based NOVA CHEF went from launching to revolutionising the hospitality food sector.

What started out as a solution that allowed chef Sergey Men to optimize his Michelin-guide recognised restaurant Bisushima, grew into a solution that is actively being sought out by 4 & 5-star hotels, as it is the perfect fit to the problem most experienced in the hospitality sector namely the cost and availability of chefs.

NOVA CHEF integrates well-established cooking techniques from the Far East, and next-gen technology to deliver a range of restaurant-quality hot meals without the need for kitchen staff. If you can scan a barcode then you can, within 4–7 minutes (dish dependent), be plating everything from breakfasts to appetizers, soups to main courses, all thanks to the NOVA CHEF solution.

Aside from the exceptional quality of the range, the benefits for hotels and other hospitality businesses lies in the fact that NOVA CHEF have perfected the ability to transform a pre-made frozen meal into one that is currently being served in 5-star hotel dining rooms. Yes, you read it right. NOVA CHEF’s range is a frozen meal solution.

There are undeniable benefits offered by frozen meals such as an excellent shelf life, no food wastage, no preparation time, and consistency, but until now, the reheated meals have lacked the quality that see discerning hotels even consider the option. But that has changed, and the high-end hotel sector is very grateful for it.

Some of the most well-established 4 & 5-star hotels are using the NOVA CHEF solution for any number of reasons such as to extend their a la carte menu offerings, 24/7 room service, cater for events, and even address the staff meal demands. And based upon the simplicity of the model and the quality of the end product it is very easy to see that the attention and NOVA CHEF’s growing success is well-deserved.

It is not just the GM’s and F&B heads that are raving about the great quality and improvements to the P&L spreadsheets. Even chefs are blown away. At the recent London HRC expo, world-renowned 3 Michelin star celebrity chef Pierre Koffmann exclaimed that NOVA CHEF’s dishes were “excellent” and “fabulous”, and if one of Gordon Ramsey’s mentors can be impressed, then I’m sure you will be too.
