APTOS, Calif. -- Smoky Market Foods Inc. has completed the design of a 150-square-foot, self-contained kiosk offering a selected menu of Smoke-Baked meat and fish products.
The kiosk is self-contained with sufficient cold storage, heating ovens, prep space and retail display to offer a quick-service menuanticipating features such as quesadillas, quiches, one-dish casseroles, finger foods, sandwiches, as well as refrigerated display for retail merchandising.
Smoky Market Foods has developed proprietary Smoke-Baking technology for [image-nocss] a variety of menu items including beef, pork, chicken, lamb and salmon. Its existing, custom-engineered, wood-burning oven is capable of producing several thousand pounds or units of portion-cut Smoke-Baked meat and fish per day. Individual items are to be packed in bulk cases for shipment to local distributors that the company plans to contract with for service.
The Aptos, Calif.-based company's restaurant marketing affiliate, Quantified Marketing Group (QMG), is in the process of developing an execution strategy beginning in 2008 for a national rollout of the Smoky Market kiosk concept into airports, college campuses, sports arenas and selected retail venues. The financing of the kiosk rollout program will be dependent upon favorable market conditions. "We expect to be announcing the plan for the kiosk rollout by QMG in the very near future," said Edward Feintech, chairman and CEO of Smoky Market Foods.
Smoky Market Foods is a development-stage company that produces a complete line of fully cooked Smoke-Baked foods through a wood-burning oven system. Because of its proprietary wood-burning oven technology, the company's Smoke-Baked products are believed to be truly healthful as they are prepared the old fashion way, without the use of any additives or chemical preservatives. Smoky Market Foods intends to build a national chain of Smoky Market restaurant-stores and self-contained kiosks that do not cook raw food on site.
