    Many Kitchens, One Oil Program

    At a resort or golf club, oil management is rarely about just one kitchen. It is about keeping a whole network running smoothly: banquets, poolside dining, clubhouse service, snack bars, catering, staff meals, and sometimes multiple properties too. When each outlet starts ordering different oils, pack sizes, and specs from different suppliers, consistency gets harder to maintain in a hurry.

    That is where consolidation can make a real difference. Instead of treating oil like a long list of line items, it helps to think of it as a program built around how your teams actually cook. That might include:

      • High-performance fry oil for dependable fry life and consistent results
      • Olive oils and blends for prep, cooking, and finishing
      • Specialty oils for signature applications
      • Avocado oil for high-heat sauté stations
      • Liquid butter alternative for buttery flavor without added dairy-handling steps

    Catania’s product portfolio is built to support that kind of approach, with options across fry oils, olive oils and blends, vegetable oils, specialty oils, and butter alternatives, along with formats ranging from bottles and jugs to portion-control packets and bulk containers.

    Once your oil program is standardized, the benefits tend to build on each other.

    standardizing SKUs

    First, purchasing gets simpler. Fewer suppliers can mean less vendor-management work, better visibility, and stronger leverage through consolidated spend.

    Second, kitchen execution becomes easier to manage. When recipes and oil specs are aligned across outlets, training is more straightforward, consistency is easier to maintain, and teams can move between stations with confidence.

    Third, documentation gets a whole lot cleaner. Keeping product specs, approvals, and supporting certificates organized is easier when everything runs through one trusted supplier instead of several.

    For a single property, that might look like one approved-oils sheet by station, posted in every kitchen and paired with the right pack format for each outlet. For a multi-property group, it can become a core SKU list that helps every location cook to the same standard and maintain the same documentation process.

    When everything is aligned, operations feel a little less complicated, and a lot more consistent. Are you ready to standardize oil across every kitchen? Connect with Catania Oils, and a member of our Foodservice team will help you build a program that fits the way your operation runs.
