We are a proud supporter of you. Not surprisingly, business and industry foodservice directors run their operations like a business. The emphasis is on being cost-effective. Meanwhile, you’re fighting for “share of stomach” as employees have many options from which to choose—such as fast food and the classic brown-bag lunch. Hobart and Traulsen have a number of products that can help you improve “share of stomach” while lowering costs. Here are some of the ways we can support the business of your kitchen.
They have fast food. You have great food. They’re out there. You’re right here. You’ve got competition. A forest of nearby fast-food outlets. Casual, quick-service restaurants a few minutes away. That means employees straggling out early and straggling back late. The company’s productivity and your profitability are leaving the premises.  How do you fight back for “share of stomach”? With a dining experience that no restaurant chain can beat. Today, corporate foodservice operations are enticing employees to stay on site by introducing high-end restaurant ambience and comfort, competitive pricing, healthier, high-quality meals—and some fresh ideas.
For example, Exhibition Cooking programs are proving to be a big draw at facilities across the country. Right up front, chefs show off their chops at food stations, preparing on-the-spot delicacies, ethnic specialties and made-to-order menu options, including omelettes, healthy stir-frying and fresh salads. Marketplace Cooking displays show off the freshness and quality of your food and ingredients right at the counter.
Hobart griddles help keep the show moving. A snap-action thermostat controls each 12-inch cooking zone, so your cooks can jump from griddle to griddle at just the right temperature, with even, efficient heat distribution.
When you’re cooking up front, space is at a premium. That’s why Traulsen refrigerators, freezers and prep tables are designed to give you top performance while staying out of the way. Undercounter refrigerators and freezers save space while giving your staff right-at-hand access to their ingredients. Our refrigerated equipment stands offer easily customizable interiors for still more space-saving flexibility. Featuring INTELA-TRAUL® microprocessor controls for precise temperature maintenance, Traulsen equipment stands have a front-breathing design for “zero clearance” installation, for maximum utilization of your kitchen floor space.
"Grab-and-go" meals: Healthier for employees. Healthier for profits. Goodbye, brown bag. Goodbye, microwave burrito. Sometimes the deadline is hot, and employees have to dash and dine at their desks. But with healthier, tastier “grab-and-go” options in glass-front reach-ins at your facilities, you keep hurried employees a lot happier and your profits a lot higher—with portable food averaging 18% of business and industry food sales. Many companies even offer desktop delivery!  And you have a lot to offer. Breakfast pastry items. Salad bars and box lunches. Wraps. Deli sandwiches. Fruit and produce with farmers’ market freshness. And since this food has to be good and it has to be fast, Hobart keeps pace.
Our 3000 Series Slicer, smartly redesigned from the bottom up, generates more slices per minute with better consistency and increased yields. For whipping up fresh mashed potatoes, the many innovations of the Hobart Legacy® Mixer—swing-out bowls in a full range of sizes, Shift-on-the-Fly™and more—ensure the flexibility and mix consistency so essential to your cooks. And Traulsen hinged glass-door refrigerators put “grab-and-go” foods right at hand, while steadily maintaining temperatures.
Feeding a big company makes food safety a big priority. You’re serving all the way till closing time—with crunch time at lunchtime. You have to tackle a massive amount of preparation, cooking, serving and cleaning. And every step of the way, food safety is a critical concern for you—and the companies you serve. Hobart and Traulsen equipment greatly diminishes the risk of food-borne illness across the board. With refrigeration products that make it easy to manage and document safe food preservation processes, as well as food processing and warewash equipment designed to meet stringent requirements that ensure they are easy to clean, sanitize and maintain.  For example, Traulsen undercounter refrigerators and freezers with Traulsen’s exclusive INTELA-TRAUL® microprocessors constantly monitor and maintain consistent temperatures. Traulsen Blast Chillers move food quickly and safely from serving temperature to storing temperature in about 90 minutes.
Hobart designs products to be easy to clean and maintain, adding enhanced safety and productivity to outstanding performance. Case in point: the 3000 Series Slicer. With nine patents and patents pending, it is the slicer reinvented from the ground up. Its smoother glide and reduced drag reduce operator fatigue while improving slice quality and yield. Its smoother lines and readily removable parts make cleaning fast and simple. Self-lubrication and easier sharpening reduce maintenance cost and time, increasing uptime.
Hobart’s ENERGY STAR® rated AM Select door-type dish machine is like having two warewashers in one, washing and sanitizing grimy pots and pans side-by-side with delicate glasses and dishes. The Hobart CLe conveyor-type warewasher is also ENERGY STAR rated and can clean up to 8,550 dishes an hour with 50% less energy and water and in less space than comparable models. It is the most efficient conveyor- type warewasher in its use of energy, water, labor and floor space in the industry.
