We “wok” on less water<br />

Australia is the driest continent in the world. It<br />

has suffered from extended drought conditions,<br />

with many regions having been in the midst of a<br />

drought for five years. Responsible use of water<br />

is therefore considered to be one of the highest<br />

priorities, with water restrictions in place in<br />

many parts of the country.<br />

So, <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>North</strong> recently introduced waterless<br />

woks at its Billie Chu outlets in Melbourne and<br />

Adelaide airports. Each wok reduces water use<br />

by 70 percent, resulting in savings of more than<br />

1,300 gallons (5,000 liters) a day. Each wok<br />

installed will save 370,000 gallons (1.4 million<br />

liters) of water every year.<br />

Spreading healthier foods<br />

<strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>North</strong>’s Culinary Wellbeing program is<br />

spreading out so its patrons’ waistlines might not.<br />

In Australia, the program has been introduced at<br />

Etihad Stadium, Melbourne Park, The Terrace<br />

in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Albert by the Lake<br />

function center and Curtin University. In the<br />

United Kingdom, it is now featured at Wembley<br />

Stadium and Emirates Stadium in London.<br />

Introduced in 2008, Culinary Wellbeing<br />

is a <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>North</strong> corporate program that<br />

focuses on lighter and healthier food options<br />

that offer reduced levels of fat, salt and sugar,<br />

while improving fiber and whole-grain content.<br />

<strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>North</strong> strives to use fresh, local<br />

ingredients and organic products for these dishes.<br />

Branching out in Sydney<br />

In late 2008, <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>North</strong> opened its first<br />

outlets in Sydney International Airport, which is<br />

undergoing a major expansion and renovation.<br />

The company already has an existing operation<br />

in the Sydney Domestic Airport.<br />

Among the new outlets <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>North</strong> brought<br />

to the airport are Hungry Jack’s (the Australian<br />

Burger King franchise) and an Oporto’s<br />

franchise. <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>North</strong> has relationships<br />

with both brands.<br />

Oporto’s chicken and chicken burgers have<br />

a unique, Portuguese-influenced flavor. Its<br />

restaurants offer a fun, irreverent and highquality<br />

fresh-cooked dining experience. Oporto’s<br />

uses fresh ingredients, as emphasized by its<br />

key marketing statement: “Fresh–Not Frozen,<br />

Grilled–Not Fried.” <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>North</strong> also has<br />

an agreement to assist with the entry of Oporto’s<br />

into the U.K. market.<br />

We take pride in our catering<br />

<strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>North</strong> began providing hospitality and<br />

food services at its third stadium in the United<br />

Kingdom when it took over operations at Pride<br />

Park Stadium, home of the Derby County<br />

Football Club, in July 2008. As part of the<br />

agreement, <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>North</strong> manages the sales<br />

and marketing for nonevent-day conferencing<br />

and banqueting at the venue.
