Tradition and avant-garde, the key to success in the hospitality industry

To renew, to grow, to undertake, are the keys to success. But if we also combine the avant-garde and evolution with tradition, then success is even greater. This is the result of combining the traditional flavors of Puerta Bernina with the quality and service of Yelow.

Since 1930, Puerta Bernina has been a reference in Granada’s pastry and bakery industry. Its famous products such as the Torta Alhambra, the Cordobesas or the Vienas, its typical cakes or novelties such as the Yogurt Ice Cream, have made this chain of coffee shops experience an accelerated expansion process since 2012. And that is why we are so pleased to be part of the growth of the traditional Puerta Bernina coffee shops in Granada.

A benchmark in the bakery sector, which are being renovated to give a more modern look to their facilities and make them more competitive in terms of capacity and surface area. Traditional coffee shops that are committed to giving a more careful, avant-garde image that allows them to offer a better service and experience to their customers.

The confidence that comes from experience

In just five years they have managed to set up in nine strategic points in Granada, such as Calle Alhóndiga, Gran Vía, Centro Comercial Nevada, and this latest opening in Puerta Real, for which they have counted on Yelow.

First of all, carefully chosen furniture, adapted to the space, designed to create the perfect ambiance and make each establishment a cozy corner for Puerta Bernina’s clients. Secondly, the kitchenware. High-quality, practical, designer utensils and accessories, designed to be useful and resistant in a cafeteria of Puerta Bernina’s style.

Undoubtedly, we have dedicated a lot of love to this project. Because the trust (and subsequent satisfaction) of our clients is our greatest success. In the words of their Financial and Human Resources Director, Mónica Giménez, for them it is essential to “to have strong suppliers, who transmit confidence and security”.. It is also important for us that clients with such a long history as Puerta Bernina rely on our comprehensive consulting services to cover all their needs.

Just as Puerta Bernina is characterized by good customer service and quality of treatment, our customer service goes beyond that. Both for them and for us “after-sales service is very important”.. Both for possible incidents that may arise, for which we attend to them effectively and quickly, as well as for the proposal of suggestions for improvement on our part.

We are left with a very sweet taste in our mouths after another very special success story, the results of which we show you in the following video. Don’t hesitate to stop by!

One of the essential appointments for the tourist who visits Granada for the first time is to stroll through the old Arab quarter of the Albayzin, a world apart within the city itself and indebted to the rich historical and cultural legacy of the Nasrid empire. Its beauty also makes it a very appreciated area for the lifelong granadino.

The neighborhood is delimited in its four cardinal points by other areas not without interest: to the north, the hill of San Cristobal; to the south, the hill of the Alhambra; to the east, the Sacromonte Abbey, and to the west the always busy Elvira Street. But the charms of the Albayzin are unsurpassable: its narrow cobbled streets form a labyrinth that invites you to get lost in its narrow streets, relax on a stroll or discover the splendid cármenes built by the wealthiest Christians after the expulsion of the Moorish population. The neighborhood, almost unintentionally, makes us feel its magic and experience a real journey through time.

No visit to this famous area of the city is complete without first admiring some of the spectacular panoramic views of the Alhambra that it offers, preferably taking advantage of the hours of sunset, which make the stones sparkle with intensity, giving a mystical aura of glowing red to the architectural complex, declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.

There is no doubt that doing so from one of its many viewpoints has its charm, but for food lovers there is an even better place to enjoy those last hours of the afternoon: El Carmen El Agua.

This house, founded in 1990, preserves intact the essence of that Arabian opulence and is a very cozy restaurant where you can satisfy your appetite after a relaxing stroll through the streets of the neighborhood. It has a privileged location, since from its terrace viewpoint you can admire the Alhambra in all its splendor. The perfect place for a romantic dinner.

Traditionally, the main protagonists of its gastronomic proposal have been the fondues. fonduesBoth sweet and savory, the main attraction for diners from all over the world since its foundation almost thirty years ago. But as its manager Antonio García told us, the international character of its customers has motivated the need to diversify its menu by introducing typical products of Andalusian gastronomy.

This process began about a year and a half ago, when Antonio decided to rely on Yelow’s comprehensive consulting services to accompany the renovation of his menu with a restyling of the restaurant itself. “It’s vital to have a first-rate supplier, as they are the ones who can offer you new technologies and the latest trends”.

From that moment on, our technical team got down to work, satisfying perfectly from functional needs, such as the complete renovation of the kitchen machinery, to aesthetic needs, offering them options of kitchenware, glassware and tableware that reinforce the traditional character synonymous with their culinary selection.

Undoubtedly his bet was the right one, since, as Antonio himself tells us in this new success story, the growth in the number of clients has been exponential and sustained in recent months. And he intends to keep it that way: “to keep growing we need a reliable supplier and Yelow has provided us with a very good service . Yelow has provided us with a fantastic service from first contact to execution. We are very grateful to them and will continue to work with them for the future”. And so it will be Antonio. ????

You know: if you want to feel all the magic of the Albayzín in a genuinely special restaurant, look no further. Antonio, his team and his delicious fondues await you at Carmen El Agua (Plaza del Aljibe 7).

And don’t forget to ask for a table with a view. It will surely be worth it. ????

With the month of September well into September, Granada is back to normal: the bustle in the streets that we love so much. Now the vacations are over (except for a very small group of lucky ones whom we envy enormously).

But there’s no reason to be discouraged by the inevitable return to everyday life. In fact, the best way to cope is to return to old (but good) habits. And in a city like ours, sitting down for a bite to eat after a nice walk downtown is one of the best habits we can maintain.

If you need some suggestions, we propose a more than interesting one: Bar Sancho, a mythical place in the gastronomic offer of Granada. Founded in 1981 and located in Tablas street, its proposal is based on a close, very neighborhood cuisine, which is rounded off with an attentive service, good product quality and the excellent atmosphere that is generated both inside and on the terrace.

As its advertising claim says, its maxim is to become specialists in memories and flavors that time will not be able to change. But time goes by, and after almost 40 years of experience, Bar Sancho has had to adapt to the different trends and demands of the market. Therefore, its offer was expanded with the opening of two new restaurants specializing in gourmet burgers, the Sancho Casual Burger (one located in Tejeiro 20, next to Alhamar Street, another in the Serrallo Plaza Shopping Center), with an objective that was not trivial: to dignify the hamburger.

And what happened to the traditional Bar Sancho? Its manager, Serafín Jiménez, wanted to give it a facelift, from the premises to its menu. Above all, it had to be a welcoming and pleasant place, a meeting point for the whole neighborhood that has welcomed him for so many years. And that is where we came in.

Through our consulting services we analyzed their needs in depth and understood their aspirations, proposing solutions for each of the areas that needed an upgrade. The understanding was immediate, as evidenced by the kind words with which Serafin sums up the experience of working with Yelow: “the quality of the people stands out, their professionalism and work, their efficiency (…) they are there for everything, always available and very attentive (…) A supplier that makes everything work well“.

Said and done. Our professional team got down to work immediately, carrying out a thorough renovation of the furniture, decoration elements, crockery, cutlery and machinery and achieving the results that you can see in the video of this new success story.

We are proud to have contributed to the birth of this new version of Bar Sancho, rejuvenated, but as its name suggests, with the original flavor intact.

El Capricho de Eiffel: Paris on the Costa Tropical

Second fortnight of August: very reluctantly we are already rushing the last weeks of summer, but we are still in time to recommend you a plan to enjoy a few more days of warmth and beach: a visit to the town of Motril.

Located about 45 minutes by car from Granada, the capital of the Tropical Coast of Granada welcomes visitors with a sensational subtropical climate, characterized by more than 300 days of sunshine a year, which allows you to enjoy the most of the different beaches in the area. However, its attractions do not end there, offering multiple alternatives for tourism and leisure: a large number of religious buildings and buildings of historical interest, golf courses, sugar museums or the incredible landscapes that make up the fields of cultivation of native fruits such as cherimoya.

In fact, the gastronomic offer is another of the main attractions of the region, and although it is usually based on products of marine origin, today we are pleased to introduce you to a restaurant that stands out from this majority trend: El Capricho de Eiffel .

Located in the center of the town, and only five minutes away from the main beaches of Motril, El Capricho de Eiffel focuses its offer on meats, but not just any meat: its specialty is matured meats, cooked with a very special care and at a temperature of 300º. And always on holm oak charcoal. The love that his team professes to these products of animal origin is perceived when discovering his spectacular refrigerated showcase and maturation chamber, the biggest in Spain.

Given the passion they apply in everything they do, we could not fail to thank its owner, Fermín Peñalver, for having trusted in our experience for a challenge as big as this, of which we are enormously proud and in which we hope to have transferred the same passion they pour into the stoves and grills.

We put the icing on the cake to this exciting project with our comprehensive catering services, aimed at meeting all the furniture, kitchenware and machinery needs of El Capricho de Eiffel. To paraphrase Fermín himself “Yelow is a very important supplier for our business, because of its reliability, seriousness and punctuality. The perfect complement to the quality of the product we offer”. So, objective achieved!

We hope that this new video that we have shared with you has got your teeth long and that you will be encouraged to visit El Capricho de Eiffel, a visit that will be worthwhile to discover a restaurant with a very unique character, a very careful decoration, a spectacular translucent vertical waterfall and decorative elements that will make you feel in Paris itself.

When is your next visit to Motril scheduled for?

THIS SUMMER, YOUR PLACE IS HOLE 19

We are already in the middle of summer, that time so awaited by everyone for so many months and in which most of you enjoy the “3D”: rest, disconnection and fun.

One of the things we like to do at this time of the year to escape the high temperatures is to escape to the beach, enjoy the sea and, of course, its beach bars.

In Punta del Santo of Playa Granada you have a very special one: Hoyo 19 Beach Club, who have trusted in our integral catering services to renovate their kitchen and cover all their furniture and machinery needs.

In the video we share with you you will discover some details of its offer: a fresh, tasty, recognizable gastronomy, with varied options and very very beachy. Just the way we all like it. As if this were not enough, the evenings are enlivened with its selection of cocktails (you can not miss their incredible mojitos) and is a benchmark in the summer nightlife of the coast of Granada.

We think it is clear that it is a place that we love… but the best thing is the attention to detail, know-how and closeness of their professional team. And it seems that the feeling is reciprocal! To quote Lara Rodriguez, manager of Hoyo 19, “Yelow has attended us very well, the technical assistance has been perfect, the products were what we expected and when we had any doubts, they solved them immediately. Above all, we would like to highlight their punctuality, the quality of their service, the materials they work with, the human quality… what more could you ask for?… what more could we ask for?

One of the key points for an easy catering business, as identified by our philosophy and product catalog.

From here we send a big hug to all the team of Hoyo 19 Beach Club for having trusted us in this project.

What are you waiting for? We assure you that you will want to spend the rest of the summer there!
