A little bit of history…

 

Etymologically Athanor is the product of the Arabic « al » (cauldron) « tan » (oven) and « nour » (fire): The suite of fire.

 

A name used by alchemists for an oven designed in such a way as to produce a gentle and even heat over a long period.

 

In pursuit of their goals they used an Athanor in which they placed a container called an «Egg» which contained material from the philosopher's stone.

 

 

What can we offer you?

 

You practice a craft subject to multiple constraints, often difficult to overcome:

-          seasonal business,

-          availability,

-          finding good and motivated staff to work with,

-          rational organisation of work within the kitchen,

-          etc….

  

The majority of these risks can be resolved by an analysis of the different fluxes in activity within your kitchen and a rational reorganisation.
