Four restaurant brands for take-out meals and deliveries under the same roof
LAVAL, QC , April 19, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - St-Hubert is proud to launch MALGAM La centrale bouffe , its completely new concept inspired by ghost kitchens that brings together several restaurant brands at the same place. MALGAM La centrale bouffe opened its doors on April 12, 2021 at 6710, rue St-Jacques (local 107), in the Notre-Dame -de-Grâce district, which up until now operated as a St-Hubert rotisserie. This new concept offers menus from four very popular restaurants with Quebecers, namely St-Hubert , Sushi Taxi, Harvey's and New York Fries, using a take-out or delivery service. Two other partners may shortly join these initial four partners and other MALGAM branches will see the light of day elsewhere in Quebec in the near future.
More choice, more simplicity
To order their favourite meals, customers simply need to go the online ordering platform for one of the participating brands or the website of the delivery partner of their choice. Their order will then be directly transferred to the MALGAM kitchen to be prepared. The MALGAM concept is broken down into two categories: delivery and take-out orders. Customers who order online can accordingly choose between going to collect their order from one of the numbered lockers at MALGAM, or getting delivered. Deliveries are made using MALGAM La centrale bouffe hybrid vehicles or by a delivery partner. A counter is also available on site to order your preferred take-out menu from participating brands.
St-Hubert , delivery expert for 70 years
At the beginning of the 1950s, the founders of St-Hubert quickly understood the importance of efficient delivery services. Everyone knows the legendary slogan, Dring Dring Dring que désirez-vous? Pout Pout Pout St-Hubert BBQ! which refers to how easy it is to order and the efficient delivery service. So it is not surprising that the MALGAM La centrale bouffe concept is directly aligned with this service. Customers can enjoy a greater variety of menus and quicker delivery in under-served sectors. The partnership with Harvey's and New York Fries restaurants, which like St-Hubert form part of RECIPE Group, came about naturally and the addition of the reputed well-known brand, Sushi Taxi, is an interesting supplement to the variety of the offering. Thus, with the aim of improving employee experience and customer experience, St-Hubert has invested to develop new technological tools with the launch of MALGAM.
Inspired by neighbourhood restaurants
With its retro design developed by Sid Lee Architecture, the MALGAM concept focuses on a streamlined atmosphere skillfully mixing colours and textures in the style of the warm atmospheres that you find in neighbourhood cafes, bars and restaurants. In the context of the economic upswing, the launch of MALGAM represents $2 million in investment and has led to the creation of 50 new jobs to continue St-Hubert's commitment to local communities, whilst contributing to the vitality of central districts.
