  • Learning Center

The holiday season in the Philippines is nothing short of magical. Streets light up with festive decorations, the air fills with the scent of mouthwatering delicacies, and families come together to celebrate cherished traditions like Noche Buena and Media Noche.

For food businesses, this season marks an exciting yet challenging period of meeting the high demand for holiday feasts.

As one of the leading frozen meat suppliers in the Philippines, we understand how important it is to prepare early for the holiday rush. In this guide, we’ll share some actionable tips to ensure your business thrives during this busy season.

1. Anticipating the Holiday Rush

As families prepare their festive spreads, popular meat cuts like ham, lechon, chicken, and beef are expected to fly off the shelves. Restaurants should also anticipate a rise in dine-in customers and party platter orders. 

To accurately forecast demand:

  • Review last year’s sales data to predict inventory needs
  • Consider current market trends and adjust your projections accordingly.
  • Consider accepting pre-orders to gauge customer demand. 

 

Start planning early. Communicate your needs with your suppliers in advance to avoid last-minute shortages and ensure timely delivery.

2. Sourcing High-Quality Frozen Meat

Choosing the Right Supplier

Now that we’ve covered forecasting demand, let’s focus on the most critical part of your holiday prep: choosing your meat supplier.

Choosing the right supplier can make a huge difference in your holiday prep. Find a trusted partner who provides high-quality meat, on-time delivery, and excellent service.

At Consistent Frozen Solutions, we’re committed to providing top-quality frozen meats that meet the highest standards. With us, you can count on a hassle-free buying experience and on-time delivery, even during peak seasons.

Stock the Essentials

Ensure you have a good stock of the essential meats for Filipino holiday dishes:

  • Pork for lechon and barbecue.
  • Ham for Noche Buena spreads.
  • Chicken for festive dishes like sopas or roasted chicken.

 

Pro tip: Consider diversifying your meat options to cater to various preferences and attract a broader customer base.

Ordering and Delivery

Place your orders in advance to avoid delays, especially for specialty cuts or large quantities. Confirm delivery schedules and minimum order quantities with your supplier.

If storage space is limited, opt for staggered deliveries for better inventory management

3. Inventory Management

Managing your inventory effectively during the holidays can save your business time, money, and stress.

Optimize Storage Space 

Organize your freezer space to ensure proper storage and easy access to different meat items.

FIFO Method 

Proper stock rotation is essential for maintaining the quality and freshness of your frozen meat.  The FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method ensures you use or sell older stocks first. 

Clearly label and date all incoming meat deliveries. Arrange your stock so that older items are at the front and newer items are at the back. It’s a simple yet effective way in maintaining meat quality and preventing spoilage.

Regular Inventory Checks 

Conduct regular inventory checks to identify current stock levels and potential shortages. Do this weekly to avoid any last-minute surprises.

 

Final Thoughts

The holiday season is a time for celebration and family gatherings. Your business plays a significant role in making it memorable for your customers. By planning ahead, sourcing high-quality frozen meat, and managing your inventory effectively, you can ensure a successful and fulfilling season.

Be prepared for the holiday rush! Contact Consistent Frozen Solutions today to secure your supply of high-quality frozen meat and ensure a stress-free holiday season.
