Great things happen when two teams put their heads together 🤝

We recently worked side-by-side with Chatime to bring something new to their menu: Hot Chocolate with NUTELLA and Iced Chocolate with NUTELLA.

From recipe development to in-store ex*****on, it was a genuine team effort - combining NUTELLA's iconic taste with Chatime's know-how in high-volume service, so the end result actually works behind a busy counter, not just on paper!

That collaboration shows up in the details too. The NUTELLA 1kg Piping Bag was chosen specifically to fit how Chatime crews operate day to day, making it easy to get a smooth, consistent garnish without adding extra steps to service 🤎

Available at Chatime stores nationwide for a limited time only.

Takeaway is easier with Cobra's Griddle Toasters and Fryers.

🍔 Cobra's gas griddle toaster has specially designed burners and radiants that heat the 12mm grill plate and provide heat to the toasting rack below with 5 positions to choose from.

🍟 Our single-pan gas fryer has a multi-jet target burner system for rapid heat recovery with an effective 'cool zone' that extends oil life.

Keep up with high-volume takeaway cooking with this powerful duo from Cobra. 💪

Apple Crumble Tartlet, paired with a chai latte, is a winter menu match 🍏☕

The warm spice in the chai echoes the cinnamon in the crumble, while the milky sweetness cuts through the tart apple underneath.

It's the kind of pairing that turns a single dessert order into a proper afternoon tea moment, and gives your winter menu an easy upsell!
