Specialty cheese store Fromagerie d'Austerlitz

For his Fromagerie d'Austerlitz in Lyon, Managing Director Jérémy Richard needed a customized, particularly flexible weighing solution for the cheese counter. After all, the appliances should be easily adaptable to new conditions following the upcoming renovation of the store. The PC scale K-Class Flex with its modular design was the right solution for this requirement.

hen Jérémy Richard buys cheese, there has to be the right variety for every customer of his cheese boutique. The managing director of the Fromagerie d'Austerlitz in Lyon is personally committed to providing expert advice and finding out and meeting customer requirements. He sources his high-quality products from both regional and foreign wholesalers, affineurs and farmers. Whether hard or soft cheese, made from raw or pasteurized milk, with blue mould or truffles - he personally tests the quality of each variety. The presentation must also be just right. Fromagerie d'Austerlitz's cheeses are not only a hit in the store, but also at festive occasions, where they are served on elaborate cheese platters. All of this requires a weighing system that the sales team can rely on at all times.

Lots of experience with Bizerba

When Jérémy Richard took over the fromagerie from his predecessor Didier Galland in April 2024, the question of the best partner for his technical equipment was quickly answered. Richard has been a cheesemaker for ten years and has gained a lot of experience with scales from Bizerba during this time. Although the models changed, each scale always met the respective requirements. Richard also remembered that Bizerba products are very high quality and that the company offers a fast, reliable service. And so he sought advice from sales representative Christophe Bessodes from the Bizerba Small Retail team.

Modular weighing system as the perfect solution

The requirements for the right weighing solution were not ordinary. Richard needed equipment that could be perfectly integrated into his counter, and the system also needed to be modular. Richard had plans to remodel his new cheese boutique, and his scales needed to be adaptable to the changes. The Bizerba technology team succeeded in solving this task. The swiveling 12" monitors of the K-Class Flex PC scales - Richard is 1.90 meters tall, one of his employees 1.60 meters - were attached to the display cabinets and the scales to the counter, with careful attention paid to inconspicuous cable routing. In the end, all of this was implemented to Jérémy Richard's satisfaction. The conversion can begin!
