A graduate of Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne in Switzerland, Wolfgang Illing went on to work with the Peninsula Group and Hyatt Hotels, opening new F&B concepts in the Middle East and India. He moved to China in 2014 to fulfill his dream of becoming an entrepreneur, bringing wholesome food to the Shanghai community through Saucepan, and soon-to-be-launched REVO.
Tell us a little bit about Saucepan?
We are here to change the meaning of convenient food, creating tasty, freshly-prepared, ready-to-eat meals delivered straight to your door. Our menu is not only wholesome, but fun too.
What is your favorite thing to order?
It has to be our ‘create your own salad’ option. It is something unique that allows you to always find a healthy option depending on your mood. If you feel like something heavier, you have the option to choose more protein or grains; if you feel like something light, there are so many fresh ingredients to choose from. Funnily enough, ‘create your own salad’ is also our best seller. People love the fact they can come up with their own custom meals.
What changes have come about since your merger with the Camel Hospitality Group?
We rebranded the company and concept and transformed our menu. Our team is extremely diverse culturally, and our recipes reflect this, with flavors inspired from around the world. We work closely with our key venues and chefs, including Hardeep Somal, who is the Executive Chef behind Saucepan, The Bull and Claw and Hooked, Eduardo Gomez of El Santo and El Luchador, and Gino Fan of D.O.C. Gastronomia Italiana. Each focuses on creating dishes that are specifically made for delivery. Our core mantra is ‘Better Together,’ and we live and breathe this value. Oh, and we sell wine now too!
What is REVO?
REVO will specialize in clean, delicious meal plans that are designed to transform and rejuvenate. We focus on functional, nutrient-rich meals and ingredients that are much more than ‘low-carb’ or non-fattening. Think energizing, beautifying, hydrating, immunity-boosting, antioxidants and micro-nutrients. This is what we celebrate with each recipe or plan we create.
We will have the options of flexible or fixed plans to suit everyone, and will cater to vegetarian, pescatarian and general diets. Customers will be able to manage any modifications or changes to their plans through our Wechat app and store to allow them greater convenience and flexibility. I think REVO is going to be a game changer in the health food and delivery market.
