Culinary products are a valuable asset for the Indonesian, because the potential for enormous natural wealth makes the culinary products sector the sexiest of today’s business. Tight competition is not only about the processing and presentation of a product but culinary business actors must also think about new innovations and creativity. Because at this time it is not only a matter of the taste produced but the form of packaging can increase the selling value. So that through different concepts, products can penetrate the Indonesian and foreign culinary markets and can compete with similar or different products.
Food which is a basic human need is now growing rapidly. These basic needs are not just heavy foods such as rice, bread, and other staple foods, but snacks or what we often refer to as snacks have now become the staples needed by people of all ages.
