Man'oushe Street spends $1.63m on central kitchen

Man’oushe Street has invested over AED6 million (US $1.63 million) towards the expansion and improvement of its central kitchen facilities.

The move is part of the company's efforts to help improve its operations and to comply with the set international standards on food safety and preparation.

Man'oushe Street founder and CEO Jihad El Eit said: "As the Man'oushe Street brand continues to become more popular among quick service restaurants (QSR) in the UAE, we are now looking towards expanding and improving our central kitchen—thereby ensuring the continuing mark of excellence that we are known for.

"To date, Man'oushe' Street's kitchen facilities are HACCP certified and we are now in the process of getting an ISO 22000 certification, which reflects the strong attention that we have placed in complying with set standards on food safety and preparation."

He added: "The improvement of our central kitchen is one of the many initiatives that we are implementing, further demonstrating our commitment to provide only the best service and products to our clients."

Measuring at 8000 square feet, the facility operates on a 24/7 basis and is manned by more than 50 skilled culinary staff. The central kitchen, which caters to all Man’oushe Street branches in the UAE including franchisee branches, prepares over a thousand mana'eesh per day along with other popular favourites like bureks, wrap sandwiches, pizza, salads and sweets.

Assigned workers at the kitchen prepare all of the brand's menu offerings using water that is 99.9% bacteria free. Complementing these operations is a specialised logistic fleet that makes sure supplies are delivered on-time and efficiently to all UAE branches.
