The Challenge: Serving Quality at Scale

Airport lounges have special catering issues on a daily basis:

Minimised kitchen facilities also have a tendency to limit the nature of meals that can be served other than simple snacks or finger food.

The peak seasons require high-speed and efficiency of service without affecting the expectations of the guests.

Ongoing staff shortages create challenges in balancing catering demands with wider hospitality operations.

High-end settings place pressure on operators, as guests demand food that matches top-restaurant standards rather than simple reheated snacks.

These issues may put lounges in a situation where they have problems to strike the balance between quality, speed, and efficiency.

NOVA CHEF bridges this gap by combining chef-crafted meals with smart kitchen solutions, giving lounges a way to serve gourmet dining at scale—all while keeping operations lean and efficient.
