Our team has a proven track record in creating new menus, new tastes or in recreating an existing taste while maintaining a quick turnaround time, conforming to global regulations at a highly competitive price. How we do it The VKL QSR team studies your menu and comes up with product ideas that can add excitement, freshness and create opportunities to upsell items to consumers. Then we typically set up a DEMO DAY where we come and convert these ideas into reality, right in your kitchen, and make you actually taste and experience them. Once we narrow down to the winning products, we then tailor the process to fit your kitchen equipment and workflow.

Their understanding of what will work for the Indian consumers make us sit up and listen to them.
