    Making Sense of Recycling Food Packaging

    Maybe it would be easier for you to just buy carbon credits.

    CL60 for Block Shredding?

    Looking into purchasing a new machine. In the past had used the Robot Coupe 45RT Vertical Cutter. Loved the way it diced the cheese instead of shredding it – it spreads easier and doesn’t clump. Stopped using it in favor of the Cheese Hog. I don’t like the shredded product but its nice to just...

    Digital menu displays

    Nice setup. I decided to save money on the screens and am having them design the artwork instead. I know I could do it, but knows how long it will take me to get it up and running. Sometimes I get too many projects going and they don’t get done in a reasonable enough amount of time.

    Digital menu displays

    I’m about to pull the trigger with Stream. Plan is to go pick up some tv’s at Costco. I hear of “possible” issues mounting them vertically – specifically the venting. Has anyone had issues mounting their tv’s vertically and going bad because of overheating? Generally I’ve always felt that the...

    Delivery Minimum?

    We are $25 to $30 minimum. Even if the “average” is high, it makes no sense when we are short on drivers to make $10 deliveries. A manager can always do an override if the situation permits.

    Share your kitchen layouts

    @famouspizza Since you have already gone the conveyor route, why are you using a deck for slices? Why not a small conveyor like a Turbochef?

    Share your kitchen layouts

    @famousperry Saw you are putting in a “slice oven”. I’ve considered this a long time. I assume you are putting in a type 2 over it? What kind of oven are you going to use?

    Staffing issues

    Yes, just received the cheese hog last week and getting it wired up tomorrow. Definitely looking forward to the rounder. Anything to make it easier on people. Rough night tonight with minimal staff. Think it just tipped things toward paring down the menu further. . . Probably going to rethink...

    Staffing issues

    We’ve shut down certain parts of our menu early to get part of the cleaning done ahead of time. We never set aside time for interviews. We just set times when we have management “available” to do them. No big deal if they don’t show up then. I’m constantly looking to increase current employee...

    Cheese Shredder Grater - The TOP Shredder

    Automatic?? What is the situation with that?

    Cheese Shredder Grater - The TOP Shredder

    So, we have been using a Robot Coupe VCM but are considering purchasing one of these – the heavy HP floor unit to be exact. To those who have them, how do you feel about the floor vs tabletop unit?

    Mixing sauce without our mixer for 3 weeks, any suggestions?

    We use a Robot Coupe immersion blender. How much you can do at once just depends on the size of the pot you get to mix it in. What I like about it is we don’t have to clean a machine afterwards. We used a VCM a long time and so happy we don’t anymore.

    Sub toaster ovens

    I haven’t heard of any operators have issues with them. Maybe that Subway was unique. I can’t imagine with all the big chains that they are in that they would not be dependable. In my state we cannot use any type of oven without installing a hood as well so that is out. A few years ago I...

    Re-Printing our Menu WITHOUT Prices?

    Our menu boards have prices and our Togo menus don’t. Way too many cost increases and with the direction of things I don’t see it changing. Some people are starting to put “market price” for things like wings. A lot of places don’t even have Togo menus anymore. It’s been the direction of things...
