Last time we wrote<\/a>, we talked about the major trends that we have observed among our food-away-from-home clients and the thoughts they have inspired in us. Many of you responded (mondededemain@francois-doucet.com) to these thoughts, to the message of hope we would like to convey and to the prospects that we are opening up. We would now like to talk to you more specifically about the measures that we have taken to consolidate or reorient our own actions. We are basing this on the main trends highlighted in our previous post, which are as follows: home-made<\/strong> production, everyday little pleasures<\/strong>, innovation<\/strong>, strong local roots<\/strong>, and the ability to remain close to the customer base.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In all of these areas, the action of Fran\u00e7ois Doucet Confiseur\u2019s products in the food-away-from-home sector is twofold: firstly, they are fully in line with the above trends, which are essential today. Secondly, alongside the other measures you will be implementing, they can directly contribute to driving forward these trends within your organisations. It is through this dual lens that we will now take a closer look at these trends:<\/p>\n

HOME-MADE PRODUCTION<\/h3>\n

At Fran\u00e7ois Doucet Confiseur, we produce 98% of the products we sell. We do not purchase finished products externally; neither do we simply trade products. What we do is to put our unique know-how into the creation of our recipes (more than 100 different ones), into the preparation of our products and into the quality of our coatings (such as those on our chocolate-coated fruit jellies). This is how we have earned a place among the products sold by our food-away-from-home clients which put the accent on their know-how and their \u201chome-made\u201d selection. As with any production approach, the choice of ingredients is vital<\/a>. Our approach in this area is three-pronged:<\/p>\n
