Crunch That Sells: The v2food Plant Protein Schnitzel
There are few menu items as universally loved as a schnitzel. It’s comforting, familiar, satisfying — and when it’s done right, it’s a guaranteed repeat-order item.
Now, imagine offering that same golden, crunchy, herby schnitty experience… without the chicken — and without adding complexity to your kitchen.
Meet the v2food Plant Protein Schnitzel: a plant-based schnitzel with a crisp, seasoned crumb and tender bite that works across pubs, cafés, schools, catering, stadiums, and fast casual menus. It’s a high-appeal, low-labour addition that helps venues expand options while keeping prep tight and service smooth.
The “Schnitty Effect”: A Familiar Dish That Brings New Customers In
Plant-based menu items don’t need to be niche or “alternative.” The most successful plant-based additions are the ones that feel normal — and schnitzel is exactly that. It’s a dish people already crave, which makes it one of the easiest ways to:
✅ Build a vegan option that doesn’t feel like an afterthought
✅ Serve mixed-diet groups without extra menu stress
✅ Improve inclusivity for plant-based, flexitarian, and allergy-conscious diners
✅ Increase upsell opportunities (chips, salads, sides, sauces, add-ons)
This is not a “special diet” item — it’s a mainstream seller that just happens to be plant-based.

What Makes It Stand Out
The product nails the classic schnitzel moments diners expect:
✔ Golden crumb + herb & cracked pepper seasoning
That savoury, crave-worthy flavour hits immediately — no heavy sauce required (though it welcomes sauce beautifully).
✔ Tender bite
It’s satisfying and filling, with a texture that works in both plated mains and handheld builds.
✔ High protein & iron
A practical win for venues serving higher-volume meals (schools, catering, staff cafés, health-forward menus).
Menu Ideas That Print Money
Here are chef-ready ways to make this schnitzel work harder for your menu — with high perceived value and strong customer recognition.

The image says it all: schnitzel burgers look stacked, premium, and craveable.

creamy sauce or aioli

Why it sells: it’s a handheld hero with strong profit margin potential.
