How Personalised Processing Is Changing the Game

In today’s foodservice industry, one size no longer fits all. Whether you’re running a bustling pub kitchen, crafting seasonal menus for a club, or managing multiple venues with varying demands, the ability to customise meat cuts and specifications has become more than just a convenience—it’s a competitive edge.

That’s where personalised processing steps in and it’s changing the game.

What Is Personalised Processing?

Personalised processing means working directly with customers to tailor meat cuts, portion sizes, packaging formats and delivery frequency to suit their specific needs. It’s a shift away from mass processing towards a service-first, chef-focused approach.

Think:

• Custom portion-controlled steaks cut to your exact gram specs

• Trimmed lamb racks with your preferred fat cap

• Marinated chicken portions portioned for your daily service flow

• Even your signature house-made schnitzel crumb, applied in our facility

• 
  

It’s processing, built around your kitchen.

Why It Matters for Foodservice

Consistency on the plate has never been more important. With personalised processing, every steak, schnitzel, or lamb shank looks the same, cooks the same, and delivers the same experience to your customers. This reduces errors, speeds up service, and maintains the high standards today’s diners expect.

Less waste is another major benefit. When you get meat pre-cut to your specifications, you're not overpaying for trim or throwing away valuable product. Every gram has a purpose, which means you get more value from every order—and reduce your kitchen’s environmental footprint.

Then there’s prep time. With trimming and portioning already handled, your team saves hours in the kitchen. In a market where skilled chefs are hard to find, this can be a game-changer for day-to-day operations.

Personalised processing also opens up room for creative freedom. Running a weekly roast night? Need lean pork loin cuts for your summer menu? With flexible specs, chefs can adjust menus without worrying about extra prep or sourcing delays. We adjust with you.

Some of our best-performing pub and club partners say the same thing: once they moved to personalised meat processing, everything just ran smoother. Chefs aren’t spending time trimming meat before service. Orders arrive ready to go. And the peace of mind? Priceless.

Make sure you are getting a designed meat supply process that fits your kitchen, your team and your menu.

It’s about more than just meat—it’s about giving you more control, saving you time, and helping you focus on what really matters: delivering great food, consistently.

Personalised processing isn’t just a trend—it’s the smarter way to do business. From consistency and waste reduction to better margins and happier chefs, it’s a service that pays for itself many times over.
