According to a release, Cuisine Solutions creations are fully cooked, pasteurized and vacuum-sealed. By using this method, CS DAK streamlines operations in a smaller kitchen footprint, therein reducing labor costs and minimizing food waste, while increasing operational efficiency, safety, and consistency, and allowing for multiple concepts to run out of a single kitchen.
Everything will be prepared in Pret A Manger at the 425 Madison Avenue location and will be available for delivery throughout Manhattan on Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash, Postmates and via the website, order.csdak.com
