Fresh Whipped Cream That Makes Sense

As restaurant professionals continue to innovate and experiment with new flavors and textures, it is imperative that the tools they use match their innovation requirements while also being cost e f f e c t i v e W h e n i t c o m e s t o f r e s h whipped cream, the new iSi Eco Series System stands alone – especially when compared against the aerosol can.

In a side-by-side comparison of the iSi Eco Series System vs a 15-ounce can of aerosol whipped cream, there is a clear winner

Better Controls Make for Better Food

F i r s t , t h e i S i E c o S e r i e s S y s t e m saved the operator up to 12 percent on the cost of a dollop of whipped cream As an example, if an operator owns 50 units and moves from a typical 15ounce aerosol can to the iSi Eco Series system, they can save approximately $32,000 per year!

Glastender’s Cocktail Life Cycle Stands the Test of Time

T r a d e m a r k e d b y G l a s t e n d e r I n c i n 1982, the Cocktail Life Cycle principles continue to be relevant four decades a f t e r i n i t i a l l y b e i n g p u b l i s h e d . E v e n though cocktail popu l a r i t y m a y c h a n g e w i t h t h e t i m e s (remember the 1990s Appletini takeover?), t h e s t e p s t a k e n t o craft and serve cockt a i l s r e m a i n n e a r l y unchanged since the early 1900s.

N o w 4 0 y e a r s later, Glastender has renewed its foundat i o n a l a p p r o a c h t o b a r d e s i g n w i t h a new logo and more r e f i n e d p r o c e s s a p p l i c a b l e t o n e a r l y every imaginable classic and modern cocktail The Cocktail Life Cycle reads like a step-by-step instruction to making and serving cocktails, which at its m o s t b a s i c l e v e l i s r e a l l y w h a t t h e process is all about

T h e r e a r e s e v e n a s s e m b l y s t e p s and three disassembly steps involved w i t h c r a f t i n g a n d s e r v i n g c o c k t a i l s The assembly steps are: select glass, add ice, add liquor (base) ingredients, a d d m i x e r ( b a l a n c e ) i n g r e d i e n t s , b l e n d / s t i r / s h a k e / p o u r , g a r n i s h t h e cocktail and record the sale. After the customer has finished the cocktail, the disassembly process begins: dispose of dry waste, dispose of wet waste and wash glassware and hands

With the steps taken to craft and s e r v e c o c k t a i l s a c c o u n t e d f o r , b a r equipment can be logically organized to limit the steps required to make the cocktail Thinking of workflow behind

the bar as being left to right (like reading a book), glass storage is positioned first, furthest to the left, followed by the ice bin. The ice bin is generally considered the center of the stat i o n , s o i c e b i n a c c e ss o r i e s a r e a v a i l a b l e t o k e e p l i q u o r a n d m i x e r b o t t l e s w i t h i n c l o s e reach While many drinks can be combined at the i c e b i n , s o m e c o c k t a i l s require blenders and spec i a l t y b a r t o o l s . M o d e l s s u c h a s m i x o l o g y u n i t s and blender stations keep the underbar organized and are typically located to the right of the ice bin Garnishing a cocktail is an important final step to many cocktails, and consideration needs to be given to whether the garnish is shelf stable or requires ice chilling or refrigeration to maintain freshness.

T h e d i s a s s e m b l y s t e p s o f t h e Cocktail Life Cycle require placement of trash cans, wet waste sinks or strainers, glasswashers and sinks to wash hands The disassembly process should be as w e l l t h o u g h t o u t a s t h e a s s e m b l y process, and care should be taken to organize equipment to minimize the steps needing to be taken behind the bar.

The Evolution of Sparkling Clean Glassware

M o r e t h a n 6 0 y e a r s a g o , B a r M a i d C o r p o r a t i o n l a u n c h e d t h e f i r s t f i v ebrush Electric Glass Washing Machine a s t h e “ W o r l d ’ s M o s t E f f i c i e n t G l a s s Washer ” With five spinning brushes to simultaneously scrub the inside and outside of glasses, it proved an economical way to ensure the fast, easy removal of tough stains such as lipstick a n d f r u i t p u l p . T h e c o m p a c t s u bmersible Electric Glass Washer, and later the upright model, quickly became the p r o f e s s i o n a l b a r t e n d e r ’ s c h o i c e f o r d u r a b i l i t y , e f f i c i e n c y a n d s i z e s m a l l enough to fit in almost any bar sink and remains the number one choice of bartenders today

To complement its line of electric glass washers, the company developed a line of brushes to clean virtually any glassware size and shape; added the c o n c e n t r a t e d , g r e a s e - c u t t i n g , c l e a nrinsing LoSUDS Detergent; and later the SANI-MAID Disinfectant, Sanitizer and Deodorant Tablets and Sanitizer Test Strips for the ultimate in glassware sanitation

T h i s B a r M a i d G l a s s W a s h i n g System is a recipe by which bars and restaurants can efficiently clean glassware with consistent results. A properly cleaned glass is essential for serving the best-tasting draft beer, as it promotes an appealing “head” on beer that leaves a lace with every sip (in addition to increasing units per keg and adding thousands of dollars to the bottom line) A truly clean glass makes cocktails and even soda taste fresher with more fizz and wine lovers experience the true color, aroma and taste of fine wines.

“Customers expect increased sanitation measures and Bar Maid is comm i t t e d t o h e l p i n g b u s i n e s s e s m e e t those expectations and reinforce customer confidence in cleanliness,” says G e o r g e S h e p h e r d , P r e s i d e n t o f B a r Maid Corp

With a love for spotless, brilliant g l a s s w a r e – a n d r e c o g n i z i n g h o w

important customer confidence in truly clean glassware is in the hospitality setting – Bar Maid launched the GP-100 C o m m e r c i a l G l a s s P o l i s h e r f o r w i n e glasses, champagne flutes and other glassware This portable, commercial duty glass polisher utilizes a warm air b l o w e r a n d f i v e s p i n n i n g p o l i s h i n g heads to gently polish and dry damp glassware inside and out simultaneously in seconds

One staff member can polish up to 350 glasses per hour, all while reducing potential contamination by unhygienic hands and towels In addition to labor savings, use of the glass polisher virtually eliminates glass breakage and associated injuries, resulting in considerable s a v i n g s i n p o t e n t i a l W o r k e r s ’ Compensation claims.

The GP-100 is now specified by major restaurant chains and used by restaurants, hotels, event centers, glassw a r e r e n t a l c o m p a n i e s a n d c a s i n o s worldwide

“We listened to hospitality operators,” Shepherd says “Many loved the p e r f o r m a n c e o f t h e G P - 1 0 0 G l a s s Polisher, but needed a smaller footprint to fit in tight bar spaces.”

T h e s p a c e - s a v i n g d e s i g n o f B a r Maid’s new GP-3 Mini Glass Polisher makes it the perfect size for hotel and restaurant bars, wine bars, wine tasting rooms or other “bar top” applications where space is a premium or portability a must Polish up to 290 glasses per hour and with a simple twist of the glass, this three-head polisher delivers the same sparkling results with a significantly smaller footprint than the popular GP-100 model.

As Bar Maid’s product line for prod u c i n g s p a r k l i n g c l e a n g l a s s w a r e evolves, it does so based upon efficiency, safety, sanitation and reducing costs for hospitality operators

With the right handling and maintenance of frying oil, its lifetime can be doubled, which automatically leads to a positive impact on the environment

Less oil usage leads to fewer oil orders, leading to less delivery and disposal trips, resulting in lower gasoline consumption and decreased CO2 output The less oil needed, the smaller the amount of packaging material thrown away for new oil orders. Lower oil consumption also decreases the agricultur-

Know Your Waterproof Ratings

As a leading provider of professional q u a l i t y k i t c h e n m e a s u r e m e n t t o o l s ,

CDN is often asked about splashproof and waterproof ratings A high waterproof rating is important for cleanability and hygiene – plus convenience and ease of use

What is an IP Code?

T h e I n t e r n a t i o n a l E l e c t r o t e c h n i c a l Commission (IEC) has published a standard for rating the ability of equipment to protect electronic components from intrusion by dust, accidental contact or w a t e r T h e y h a v e e s t a b l i s h e d t h e

International Protection Marking code, or IP Code

How do you read an IP Code?

I t b e g i n s w i t h t h e l e t t e r s “ I P ” f o r

“International Protection,” followed by two digits. The first indicates the level of protection against solids and the second the level of protection against liquids

Why is this important?

Kitchen measurement tools that are splash-proof or can withstand powerful jets and/or immersion have greater utility and are easier to thoroughly clean CDN offers multiple models with high waterproof ratings.

What are the advantages of submersible thermometers?

Submersible thermometers (IPX7 rating) streamline operations and support cleanliness and hygiene because they can be cleaned quickly and thoroughly by immersing them in water – or in a commercial dishwasher.

Foodie Engineers His Own Career with Smoked Seasonings

Getting laid off from his Silicon Valley job might have been the best thing for Kirk Wells. He had followed his father into the world of engineering, but then took the path of his mother, a baker, although along a more savory route

In 2014, Wells decided he needed to create a smoker for seasonings, which he manufactured in his garage His smoked seasonings were soon in high demand from h i s c i r c l e o f f r i e n d s . Eventually, he started selling his seasonings online and in f a r m e r s m a r k e t s a n d b u i l t larger capacity smokers so he could produce his seasonings on a larger level

Whiskey Oak Seasonings are created in small batches w i t h h i g h - q u a l i t y i n g r e d ients, Wells says, which takes meals to the next level. The seasoning blends are slowly smoked using natural hardwoods

“This process creates a smokiness that will tease your palate and sense of smell,” says Wells, who posts blogs on his website with recipes “This smokiness is not intended to overwhelm your taste buds, but rather kick the flavors up a notch ”

Whiskey Oak Seasonings come in

six blends: Smoked Sugar, Smoked Salt, Smoked Steak, Smoked Pork & Poultry, Smoked Sea Salt, and Salty Sweet N’ Smokin’.

The AvaLAN Managed Network Service Solution secures all your network data to, from and at your site to prevent data intrusion from accessing consumer and business data It is MNSP that is provided by trusted fuel industry and network experts

Consumer and payment data are constantly transmitted from dispenser to store, and the unique outdoor payment model of a fueling station puts it at higher risk than networks locked behind shop doors It is important for anyone with a gas station to protect this data in addition to businesssensitive information such as on consumer o r s t o r e f i n a n c i a l s C r i m i n a l s n o t o n l y c a n i n t e r c e p t s e n s itive personal or payment data but install viruses if they manage to break into the system

What is included?

The AvaLAN MNSP Bundle comes with the 10-port firewall, LTE Cellular backup

The Whiskey Oak Sampler allows cooks to try a little bit of each of these distinctive smoked seasonings

Whiskey Oak Seasonings complement savory (steak, roast, burger, chick, ribs, etc ) and sweet dishes and have a long shelf life

Whiskey Oak Seasonings are sold in a l l N o r t h e r n C a l i f o r n i a W h o l e F o o d s Market stores, select regional stores and online.

and 16-port managed switch.

What does it do?

The AvaLAN MNSP prevents unknown traffic on and to a site It manages Ethernet ports and firewall configurations to securely connect all IP devices on site

What makes AvaLAN different?

Unlike any other MNSP services, AvaLAN’s customer support will now have visibility from the firewall to the dispensers when used with the AvaLAN wireless solution What does that mean?

All it takes is one service call for troubleshooting and you are connected with industry and network experts every time

Mobile Nesting Tables from Forbes Industries

Today’s travelers have high expectat i o n s I n n o v a t i v e p r o d u c t s t h a t s a v e time and money while providing outstanding flair and functionality are critical for hoteliers focused on increasing their guests’ satisfaction How can these modern-styled tables satisfy a hotel’s operational needs?

Mobile nesting tables enhance a space’s functionality, boost staff efficiency and become a decorative focal point in the room – a genuine statement-maker They allow for a quick s e t u p f o r b r e a k f a s t a n d s e a m l e s s changeover to lunch during an executive meeting or conference They make it easy to present food and drinks at weddings, cocktail functions and corporate events against a rustic, modern or t r o p i c a l l y i n s p i r e d t a b l e b a c k d r o p Hoteliers are quick to embrace these e a s y - t o - m o v e , e y e - c a t c h i n g n e s t i n g t a b l e s b e c a u s e t h e y s i g n i f i c a n t l y improve operations, all with a dash of elegance.

What are the top three reasons why nesting tables are a smart investment for today’s hoteliers?

Saving Space with Modern Form & Function

Hotel storage space is premium real estate, so products that effectively save that space are enormously appealing to hoteliers. Mobile nesting tables have a compact footprint and can be easily s t o w e d a w a y u n t i l u s a g e – a h u g e bonus for smaller properties with less storage space and for larger properties with more equipment/materials to put away

Nesting tables are easy to configure and create a clean, open look for hotel spaces Plus, they encourage a streamlined room setup, so more space can be allotted to guests and other elements in the room.

The Virtues of Versatility

Hotels are the ultimate multipurpose

VITO AG (Cont’d from p 1)

to avoid this waste In 2001, this idea of prolonging oil life led to the invention of the VITO oil filter systems After service, gastronomes can place the device directly into the frying oil and have it m i c r o f i l t e r e d w i t h i n 4 5 m i n u t e s Removing unwanted particles and carbons will slow down the decay process of the frying oil so it can be used for up to twice as long.

FEN: Why is the VITO brand so successful?

AS: Sustainability has been important in many countries for several years now, especially in Europe We are happy to

facilities and must adapt to the needs of their guests The products and equipment hoteliers use must also adapt to m e e t t h e c u r r e n t f u n c t i o n a l n e e d s , a l l o w i n g f o r m a x i m u m u t i l i z a t i o n o f finite resources

Mobile nesting tables are synonym o u s w i t h b e i n g m u l t i - p u r p o s e i n countless spaces around a hotel, including coffee stations in boardrooms, displays in hotel lobbies, buffet stations for w e d d i n g s , l u n c h e o n s f o r b u s i n e s s m e e t i n g s , c o c k t a i l p a r t i e s i n p u b l i c areas and much more.

Benefits Yielded by the Ability to Move

Return on investment is always top of mind for hoteliers, who must carefully manage budgets without sacrificing quality or negatively impacting the guest experience Since mobile nesting tables are a sophisticated piece of artistry and no tablecloths or linens are required, there is less laundering for the property, resulting in a trifecta of savings – labor time, cleaning products and money

For added ease and convenience, Forbes Industries’ nesting tables are outfitted with swivel casters (and two brakes per table), so the tables can move effortlessly and quickly be locked into place These mobile nesting tables a r e b u i l t w i t h s u p e r i o r - e n g i n e e r e d f r a m e s a n d r e i n f o r c e d b r a c k e t s f o r strength and durability. They last longer, making smart financial sense for hoteliers with an eye on the bottom line

T h e s e q u a l i t y c r a f t e d p r o d u c t s come in various price points to meet most budgets and their use expands beyond a single room or public space Mobile nesting tables are quickly proving their value as a smart investment by today’s hotel professionals.

Challenges in Collecting

Food Waste Data

Data is critical for driving measurable improvement in food waste reduction efforts, but it has been challenging to collect food waste data in the past

Organizations can gain far clearer insight into their food waste situation with regular tracking achieved using d a t a - d r i v e n t e c h n o l o g y E m e r g i n g t e c h n o l o g y a l l o w s f o o d p r o d u c t i o n

However, technology on its own can’t drive the change needed IT professionals often find that transformat i o n r e q u i r e s c h a n g e s t o p e o p l e , processes and technology As a result, technology solutions are most effective when they make processes easier for employees.

A Simpler Solution for Tracking Food Waste

Ease of use is what makes LFC biodigesters a unique solution This sealed equipment offers the dual ability to serve as an in-line food waste disposal solution while also collecting data that can mitigate future waste.

The biodigesters come equipped with access to the LFC Cloud, a cloudbased data analytic program The platform provides visibility into the organic

waste stream of an organization. This is achieved using an NFC card reader that allows businesses to account for the types or sources of waste entering the biodigester This allows for identification of types of waste and different sources of the waste

This data is all made available on the LFC Cloud, where users can view data numerically and graphically by the hour, day, week, month and year. Users can easily create reports for stakeholders and identify trends over time For

Using Food Waste Data to Drive Change

With clear data in hand, food service and production businesses can better identify what’s driving their food waste

If there are certain ingredients or dishes that are thrown away in larger amounts or at greater frequency than others, data can be used to optimize portion s i z e s o r e n t i r e m e n u s T h i s i n s i g h t allows businesses to better adjust their inventory levels and more rapidly adapt to seasonal trends

W i t h d a t a a r o u n d c u s t o m e r demand, organizations can also take steps to increase customer satisfaction. This data can also be used in financial reporting, as many organizations find that investments in the reduction of food waste generate a rapid return as well as long-term savings

There are many ways that organizations can use their food waste data, but the first step is to get a clearer understanding of the problem.
