Independent Restaurants

We can help make food safety easy.

One of the most important issues facing independent restaurants, food safety requires the attention and cooperation of everyone on your staff. Good food safety is a lot more than your staff washing their hands thoroughly.

Clean and sanitized ware is essential to any food-safety program. While chemical cleaners could leave your glasses and cups with unsightly stains such as lipstick, Hobart’s ENERGY STAR® qualified  Advansys™ Ventless Door-Type Warewasher  is NSF-certified to clean and sanitize dishes and delicate glasses, and pots and pans as well.

Hobart’s 3000 Series Slicer  is the industry’s easiest-to-clean slicer. The carriage is tiltable and removable for thorough washing. The base is a single unit that can be wiped clean and leaves no cracks or crevices for waste to accumulate.

The recent trend in serving “fresh foods,” including organics, has added to the complexity of food safety. Hobart food processors can help you meet this market demand with safe food practices. For example, our diwash™ aluminum plates remove in seconds and can be cleaned and sanitized in a warewasher without fear of discoloration.

To keep your food fresh and safe, there’s our full line of Traulsen undercounter refrigerators and freezers with their exclusive microprocessors for precise temperature control.

The Traulsen Undercounter Quick Chiller  is a powerful tool for safe food storage. If you cook food ahead of the time it’s served, it’s important to get it chilled fast through the Danger Zone of temperatures (41°F to 135°F), where food can spoil. The Traulsen Quick Chiller pulls down food temperatures well within the FDA-required time limit.  

 

 

Save energy, your water and your money, too.

Restaurants consume almost two and a half times more energy per square foot than any other commercial-type building. When you add in other utility costs, such as water, you have expenses that continue to erode the profitability of your restaurant.

Hobart equipment and service can help reduce those expenses. Our ENERGY STAR® qualified CLe Warewasher —with Hobart’s exclusive Opti-Rinse™ technology—can save you as much as $9,192 a year because it uses less than half the water and energy, compared to previous models without Opti-Rinse.

The ENERGY STAR^® qualified Hobart Advansys™ Ventless Door-Type Warewasher  not only uses the least water per load in its class—only.74 gallons—but its unique Energy Recovery feature saves energy, too. It captures water vapor and condenses it to heat the incoming cold-water inlet for the final rinse cycle, and saving up to $792 in energy costs per year. Plus, its ventless design eliminates $776 in HVAC operation costs per year. Put all that together, and the Advansys Ventless can save you $1,568* in energy every year.

*Based on 200 cycles/day, 360 days/year at an energy cost of $.011 per cycle.

With approximately 400 ENERGY STAR qualified appliances to choose from, we give you lots of way to save. For example, Traulsen ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators and freezers can cut your refrigeration energy costs as much as 45%.

Hobart Service can help you get the highest level of performance from your equipment with preventive maintenance, service contracts, extended warranty contracts and other specialty programs.

Improving the productivity of your staff.

The largest private-sector employer in the country, the restaurant industry runs on people. For the independent restaurant, wages and benefits account for fully one-third of your costs. Compounding the cost is the high rate of turnover, resulting in the added expense of training and motivating new employees.

Hobart equipment is designed to help you deal with these dual issues by providing products that are easy to operate, require minimal training and increase productivity.

The Hobart Legacy® Mixer  is the only mixer with a swing-out bowl, making it simpler to add ingredients and take out product, to mount and change bowls. It has other features to improve productivity, too, such as Automatic Time Recall that remembers the last time set for each speed, making it ideal for mixing batches of the same product.

The Hobart Combi® Oven brings push-button convenience to cooking. You can preprogram up to 100 different recipes that your staff can execute at the touch of a finger.

The Baxter Hybrid Convection Oven  combines the versatility of convection and steam heat, but into a smaller footprint. Its attractive hearth-shaped viewing window makes it perfect for front-of-house applications. Plus, it has 100 programmable recipes, so you can get cooking at the touch of a button.
