Gruppo
Santa Rita

Everyone in Turin is familiar with Girarrosti Santa Rita, the chain restaurant that for 55 years has brought the best Italian chicken with the famous “Patate Mitiche” on everyone’s table. In Piedmont and Lombardy there are more than 20 stores, but although the company is getting stronger, it does not forget that things must be followed personally and with the affection that is dedicated to an artisan reality.

The story of Girarrosti Santa Rita starts from Rome, with an entrepreneurial intuition of Mario Valenti and his son Achille: to import the passion and the gastronomy products loved in the Capital into Piedmont. In 1963 the first store was opened in Turin, in Piazza Santa Rita (which gives the name to the chain). From that moment the company began to grow: in 2013 it crossed the borders of Piedmont, with the opening of the first store in Milan.

Girarrosti Santa Rita became famous for its chicken and potatoes, but it has soon started to expande the range of products. In the stores there are various types of Sicilian arancini (“Aranciotti”), panzerotti, skewers, tender rolled sausages, fried chicken strips, potatoes with mozzarella or bacon (“Trottole” and “Ghiottole”), mild spicy chicken wings (“Hot Wings”), bocconcini all’ascolana, rice salad, cous cous and many other products. Depending on the needs and the preferences of costumers, Girarrosti Santa Rita can offer different alternatives and also provides an gluten free option for celiacs.

Being aware of one’s past is helpful to identify the values towards which to direct one’s future. First of all, the innovation: if Girarrosti Santa Rita is the current company, it is thanks to solid commitment to research and constant improvement, with the attention to the production processes. Without quality, we would not have gotten where we are, because the costumers’ trust and loyalty are not-obvious rewards, which can only be obtained under certain conditions. The exquisiteness of the primary products is an essential prerequisite to offer excellent products. The working process has to go through an artisanal and simple step, but with the support of the highest technology available and with a keen eye for quality control.

The most important resource of the company has always been its human capital: collaborators, clerks, managers, employees that work in the office, the marketing department, the warehouse workers, the drivers, the reception, the delivery call center... they are all part of a team that works together with a common goal and towards which Girarrosti Santa Rita expresses its greatest gratitude..

Red Bill is a company founded in Turin in 2002 from the family experience of the founders, who have been involved in the food industry for more than 60 years.

The choice to set up a functional demonstration space that allows new customers to experience the various stages of production, and existing customers to carry out tests with the assistance of Red Bill, proved to be of enormous advantage. The fully equipped demonstration kitchen is the perfect synthesis of the Red Bill philosophy, aimed at satisfying every request and need of its customers.

The Red Bill warehouse, recently expanded and renovated, is the flagship of the company. Its capacity allows the staff to operate and intervene with the speed that derives from always having all the spare parts available in the company for maintenance and assistance, whether direct or indirect (external companies). In this way, the service improves significantly and allows time and costs to be optimized.

Nowadays, Red Bil advises to be wary of those who only sell equipment: it is simply not possible. The company has chosen to protect its customers by reinforcing its assistance system, to provide a complete service that includes preliminary consultancy for the order, delivery and installation on site, support and specialized post-purchase technical intervention. Its collaborators, perfectly trained and constantly updated, are always available to the customer, who is supported in all phases and in the case of specific needs.

Red Bill's experience has never been based on a simple resale of equipment. Its policy is to develop new concepts, value-added services and customized solutions for catering operators in every corner of Italy. Its excellences are therefore based on a very high quality of sales, on operating costs reduced thanks to the selection of the most convenient machines on the market and on the productivity obtained with the choice of being assisted by a company that truly believes and invests in a long-term relationship with its customers.
