Deli shops usually offer rotisserie chickens.
Rotisserie is a term that comes from the French word rôtisserie . It is a concept that is used in several Latin American countries to name a type of business where already prepared meals are offered for sale .
Rotisserie shops usually specialize in roasted meats . It should be noted that the verb roast refers to roasting a food, and this is the reason why rotisseries are also known as rotisseries .
Offer from rotisseries
In rotisseries, thus, you can buy roast chickens, roast beef , sandwiches, fast foods, pastas and desserts. The specialties for sale will depend on each store.
Let's look at some sentences in which the term is used: “Will you accompany me to the delicatessen to buy something for lunch?” , “I bought two chickens at the deli for dinner tonight” , “I'm going to have to cook: the deli on the corner was closed” .
It is important to note that rotisseries sell already cooked dishes . That is to say: they do not offer ingredients to prepare meals , but rather they market ready-made meals . This allows those who buy at a rotisserie not to have to cook at home.
The menu of a rotisserie can be very extensive.
Different characteristics
Although the notion is quite broad and can refer to establishments with different characteristics, in general most rotisseries sell rotisserie chickens and fast foods . The largest ones include other more complex dishes and even desserts. It is also common for these stores to complement their offering with drinks.
There are rotisseries that, in addition to selling food in stores , offer home delivery service , also known as delivery (a term of English origin that can be used as a synonym for "delivery" without the need to clarify its meaning). In these cases, the customer can call by phone and request those dishes that they want to receive at home.
Rotisserie on the Internet
Just like other food stores, such as large pizza chains, some rotisseries have their own Internet site , through which it is possible to find out about their products, check their prices and hours, and place orders online, without the need to call a particular location by phone. This is very convenient nowadays, since people spend more time surfing the Internet than consuming any of the alternative media.
In addition, it reduces the maintenance costs of a business, since it requires the work of fewer personnel in the customer service area. As if those were few advantages, rotisseries that have web portals can receive as many simultaneous orders as necessary, since they do not have to personally serve each customer; The latter must be regulated, on the other hand, by putting into operation a precise delay calculation system .
The staff available for delivery is much smaller than the number of orders that can be accepted simultaneously via the Internet, which is why it is necessary to indicate how long it will take for the merchandise to arrive or to temporarily disable the purchasing process at times when There are too many orders pending to be prepared and shipped.
Its presence in supermarkets
The rotisserie can not only be found as an independent store, but it can also be part of a larger one, such as a supermarket.
This is very common nowadays, and gives customers the possibility of bringing food ready to be consumed when finishing their usual shopping, ideal for the most tired days .
In general, people appreciate homemade food more than purchased food, and this leads to certain prejudices against those who do not prepare their own dishes but go to the rotisserie regularly. In this way, depending on the person, this type of store can be considered a symbol of laziness, although this is a somewhat extreme generalization.
