Be Smart: Why ‘Intelligent’ Foodservice Equipment Is a Game Changer

Be Smart: Why ‘Intelligent’ Foodservice Equipment Is a Game Changer

2020-08-04

Speed of service is a non-negotiable in the foodservice industry. But smarts, not just speed, are key when it comes to foodservice equipment. Smart equipment does the thinking for you, so you can focus on providing better service and increasing sales. Not only does this maximize the return on investment (ROI) of your equipment, but it keeps you two steps ahead of the competition.

Thanks to the cost-saving and sales-boosting benefits below, smart equipment pays off — in a big way.

Quicker turnaround time

Slower-than-expected service can stand between you and happy customers. Quick turnaround times, on the other hand, build a loyal customer base and help you increase sales. While a lot goes into getting quality food out of the kitchen, such as a well-trained staff and standardized processes, smart equipment can also mean faster service. With time-saving features like programmable cook settings, touchscreens, and USB ports for programming, you can serve more customers, faster, and increase your sales volume.

Better food quality

Food quality shouldn’t be sacrificed in the name of speed. And with smart equipment, it doesn’t have to be. Thanks to features that automatically know to switch from a cooking to a holding mode and conveyors that speed up and down as needed, you can have your cake and eat it too. In other words, you can rely on smart equipment to cook with precision and preserve food’s integrity so it’s ready when you need it — without burned or compromised food.

Superior customer service

With smart equipment increasing efficiency and precision, you can serve your guests faster while still ensuring tip-top quality. That, in and of itself, equals better customer service. But, there’s another bonus. Since smart equipment saves on cook time with features like programmable presets for repeat menu items, you can focus more attention on delivering first-class customer service to your guests.

Lower labor costs

Smart equipment can put repetitive tasks on autopilot with programmable cook settings and automation modes. This enables you to accomplish more with a smaller team. It’s no secret that labor costs are one of the highest — if not the highest — cost of any foodservice operation, so why not cut them with smart equipment? On top of streamlining labor, it reduces human error, which helps you save even more on costs.

Invest in smart equipment, improve your bottom line.

With all of its benefits, it’s no surprise that smart equipment is the future of foodservice. Take advantage of it, and it’s bound to pay off in more ways than one. If you’re looking for smart equipment that won’t compromise quality, here’s a good place to start.
