Are you already building a budget for 2026?

Include the most ready-made potato products in your plan and save in many ways

The turn of the year is approaching and professional kitchens are already looking ahead to 2026. At a time when raw material prices are fluctuating and labour costs are rising, every kitchen manager and procurement officer is looking for ways to stay within budget without compromising quality or taste.

One way to build a smarter and more cost-effective budget for next year is to use more ready-made raw materials. For example, cooked and seasoned potato products can save significant time, money and resources without compromising the end result.

Freeing up working time and reducing waste

JEPO products are 100% cooked and ready for immediate use. This means that the potatoes do not require peeling, cooking or seasoning, and instead the kitchen’s valuable working time can be used for other important tasks. This not only makes production more efficient, but also helps to manage staff budgets.

Pre-processed potato products also help keep kitchen waste to a minimum. When potatoes arrive in the kitchen uniformly cooked and ready to use, variations in raw material composition or pre-treatment, for example, are avoided and costs are kept under control. JEPO products are also easy to introduce in smaller batches if necessary. The three kilo packaging of the product is suitable for one GN container.

Domesticity of raw material creates predictability and benefits

Good budgeting requires predictability. When the raw material is local, responsibly grown and the quality and price of the raw material is consistent, it is much easier to set – and stick to – a budget.

Domestic contract farming of potatoes ensures consistent quality and security of supply all year round. In addition, domestic origin is a clear strength both in communicating with customers and in tenders, which emphasise the responsibility and sustainability of the food offer.

Now is the time to update your processes and budget

2026 will certainly bring its own challenges, but also opportunities. By making smart raw material choices at the budget planning stage, we can save euros and nerves well into next year.
