We’ve added the 24x60” SS Metro heated shelves for our online pickup area and also to a kitchen to counter pass thru area for all other order types.

Yes, I’ve often thought about a spiral mixer also but never seriously. Double batches sounds like a real time saver in the kitchen but how to handle a 170lb dough ball after it’s mixed is a concern. And cleaning in place would be another experience. The 60 qt setup is what we’re all used to...

Hello, We’re opening a new shop and I’ve committed and bought a used Hobart HL800 80 qt mixer. It came with only a 40 qt step-down bowl so I have to buy a bowl and dough hook in either 80qt or 60qt for this machine. I’ve never used a 80 qt mixer & bowl for our pizza dough recipe so I’m wondering...

I will keep Saputo Gold in mind when talking to my distributors. That’s a huge difference. I assume that’s a WM/PS Loaf price but sure they must have a diced or shred? I stopped into Red Rose pizzeria Springfield, MA several years ago, met the owner ( Tony), got a kitchen tour and I think that’s...

December, thanks for the info. who’s your Grande distributor ?

Your loaf is more $$ than your diced?

We have purchased a Jackson XL HH low temp and feeding it with a Rinnia tankless on demand @ 140d. It rinses the dishes great but doesn’t wash well because it’s an energy saver machine. It uses the previous batches .68 gal rinse water to wash the next load. By then the wash water is below 110d...

Ok guys, that seems on target with my pricing of $3.15lb for shredded or diced. I’m told there’s another $.14 cents a pound charged for freight to get it to northern NewEngland. I wonder what profit margin is in it for the Grande distributor?

Hello Fellow Grande users, I sure would like to know what my fellow New England area operators are paying for their WM or PS mozz loaf, shredded or Diced. We’re using WM Diced at this time after recently switching from years & years of using loaf. Any users from Mass, Ny, CT, NH, VT or Maine on...

I have 1 extra room available with 1-King Bedroom and a sofa bed at the Sahara for checkin: Sat 3/25/23 departure: Sat 4/1/23 As far as I know you could arrive later and leave earlier than those dates if needed. . We booked these on Priceline with flights and 2 of our people can’t travel now...

Yes, thank you Rick. Great info ti help with our decision on Low or high temp machines.

I’m hopeful that we will be happy all around with a low temp machine’s performance on our trays, small wares and food pans. The thought of adding an exhaust hood and roof fan for a high temp machine has be doubting going that Avenue. We don’t want to add another large heat producing appliance to...

Sounds like you’ve got it covered for your large operation. It’s been 20+ yrs since our last store opening and I want to solve a few of our existing operational inefficiencies by adding the dishwasher We visited a few Marcos pizza & Hungrey Howie locations while visiting Florida and took...

Were opening our 3rd location this summer and are currently working on the equipment floorpan. We want to utilize a Low Temp or Hi Temp dishwasher in our sink area. I’m researching a TALL DOOR version. I have no dishwasher experience so I’m wondering which model or brand is best ( Low or High...

Reasonable price is the problem. Be prepared to pay for a quality brand. Look at OBREquipment.com. They usually have a variety of them and new/demo units you can save $$$ on. Delfield are a step up also. I’m also using Randel. Best quality units I’ve ever used. Vs. true , continental, beverage...
