Reinvention of the Fish and Chip Shop

In United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, “fish and chips” is a treat that most families love. Even with the advance of fast food brands over the last 20-25 years, fish and chips is still as popular as ever.

Tefal has recently invented a new technology called the Tefal ActiFry that makes reduced fat, home style chips, at about 3% of the fat of regular fries. Its new fry cooker uses fans and motions to coat 4 potatoes in approximately 1 tablespoon of oil.

Although the ActiFry has been developed as a home market product, there is an opportunity to use similar technology to provide a healthier version of the chip to the public through fish and chip shops. It appears that the ActiFry technology could become a franchisable opportunity for this segment of the take-away industry. A business opportunity still to be developed.
