VITALID offers buying groups, purchasing alliances and integrated networks an offer built around a premium, highly differentiating product offering many major benefits brought together in one patented method and protected by selective distribution. You benefit from the usual reseller terms, with a possible additional discount of about 3% for the buying group depending on the organisation chosen and when orders are centralised at a single delivery address. The advantages are many:
- a major culinary innovation, with a cooking method radically different from conventional approaches;
- very high-end equipment, made of 316L stainless steel, with a strong demand for durability;
- utensils guaranteed for life, a genuine argument of trust for the network as well as for the end customer;
- particularly competitive pricing given the level of technology, quality and durability offered;
- a method that brings together many benefits rarely combined in a single offer: low temperature, speed, control, reproducibility, simplicity, energy savings, nutritional preservation, taste, tenderness, crispness, less waste and total natural non-stick performance, achieved by the method itself, without a coating;
- an offer that is easy to explain, demonstrate and showcase in store, with point-of-sale material provided as a display;
- selective distribution, with no general marketplaces, no supermarket chains (GMS/GSA) and no commoditisation of the product;
- deliberately limited direct competition in order to preserve the commercial value and the margin of the network;
- sales materials, visuals, sales arguments and educational content that are ready to use;
- a range set to expand gradually around the same technology.
VITALID thus allows a buying group or a network not simply to add one more item to its catalogue, but to introduce a genuine breakthrough innovation, bringing together in one offer a level of quality, differentiation and commercial potential rarely achieved. Very high-end equipment, utensils guaranteed for life, competitive price, strong differentiation, innovative cooking method, non-stick performance achieved without a coating, low temperature, speed, control, energy savings, taste, tenderness, crispness, nutritional preservation and less waste: so many assets that give VITALID a particularly broad commercial strength.
Selective distribution also protects the value of the product, limits direct competition and prevents its commoditisation on general channels such as supermarket chains (GMS, GSA), marketplaces like AMAZON or discount.
VITALID offers buying groups, purchasing alliances and wholesaler-distributors specific commercial terms, adapted to their role as intermediary, the volumes handled and the logistics organisation in place.
The professional discount can thus range between 55 and 60% of the VITALID reference retail price excl. VAT, excluding promotions. Its level is determined case by case according to several criteria: quantities ordered, forecast annual volumes, frequency of reorders, centralisation or splitting of orders, number of delivery addresses, storage provided by the partner and the importance of the commercial and logistics services taken on.
The larger the volumes and the more orders are grouped at a limited number of delivery addresses, the more the terms can be optimised. Conversely, deliveries split across many points of sale inevitably entail additional logistics costs that must be taken into account. The aim is to build a consistent economic split allowing VITALID, the intermediary and the final reseller each to keep a sufficient margin, while maintaining a competitive retail price and a selective distribution that protects the value of the product.
Professional discount: 55 to 60%, depending on volumes, organisation and logistics.
Basis of calculation: VITALID reference retail price excl. VAT, excluding promotions.
Free shipping: to be negotiated, depending on destination and organisation of deliveries.
Payment terms: negotiated according to volumes, regularity of orders, financial guarantees and the acceptance conditions of our financing/factoring body.
Distribution: mandatory compliance with the VITALID selective distribution network and approved sales channels.
Promotions: commercial operations organised within the framework agreed with VITALID.
Heating and cooking are two different things, and perfectly complementary.
Heating means mastering a physical transformation: temperature, time, cooking environment, tenderness, structure, preservation of juices and nutrients and consistency of the result.
Cooking is everything else: choosing the products, combining them, seasoning, creating a recipe, working the textures, building the balances, plating and giving the dish an identity.
That is precisely where VITALID naturally finds its place in a cooking school.
The VITALID method takes care of a large part of the difficulties of cooking thanks to the very low temperature and controlled vacuum, which makes it possible to cook faster while heating less, while the student remains entirely free to develop culinary know-how and creativity. VITALID makes it possible to obtain cooking that is easily reproducible and very consistent, with food that stays tender, juicy and well-structured, without the aggression of an excessive temperature. The juices and aromatic compounds stay inside the closed chamber; the food thus keeps a particularly intense concentration of taste.
The method also opens up many educational possibilities: authentic taste, tenderness, crispness, control of textures, cooking just in time, infusion, marinating and brining, cooking without plastic bags, natural non-stick performance, reduced losses, energy savings (80%) and better control of cooking time.
Depending on the food, VITALID also makes it possible to reduce cooking times by about 20 to 30% compared with traditional cooking, while working at a much lower temperature. For the student, this means less time spent watching a cook and more time available to learn to cook: preparing, seasoning, accompanying, creating, plating and understanding combinations.
VITALID therefore takes nothing away from culinary teaching. It simply separates what belongs to mastering the heating from what belongs to the art of cooking.
A school can thus offer new formats: comparative classes, low-temperature workshops, work on taste, tenderness, the structure of food, cooking without plastic bags, infusion under vacuum or creation of recipes specifically adapted to the method.
A SIMPLE WAY TO TRY VITALID: VITALID can lend the school a demonstration appliance for a set period, so that it can freely test the value of the method with its students and clients.
The school also has a personal discount coupon allowing interested participants to order directly from VITALID. No stock, no delivery, no payment collection and no after-sales service to manage. For each sale generated thanks to the school, it chooses between: 10% of the amount excl. VAT invoiced, paid on invoice, or 25% of the sale amount incl. VAT in VITALID points, which can be used to equip itself gradually.
1 VITALID point = €1 in shopping vouchers.
The school can thus gradually turn its ambassador activity into additional equipment: appliances, accessories and future products of the VITALID range, without a large initial investment. VITALID can also provide the educational materials, visuals, recipes, demonstration protocols and technical content needed to easily integrate the method into workshops or training courses.
VITALID MASTERS THE HEATING, THE SCHOOL TEACHES THE ART OF COOKING.
