Manitowoc ice machines are no stranger to awards and recognition. So recent news that they were named Best in Class 2009 — for the ninth year in a row! — by Food Service Equipment & Supplies magazine should come as no surprise.

Based in a Wisconsin town of the same name, Manitowoc is known for being one of the world’s leading innovators and manufacturers of restaurant equipment. As an industry leader, Manitowoc is dedicated to producing high quality, durable ice machines that help reduce costs and emphasize food safety.

To dish out the awards each year, Foodservice Equipment & Supplies magazine conducts a study in which they analyze over 1,000 surveys taken by their subscribers that asked for responses regarding quality of products, support, operator satisfaction and more. Once the results are in, the outstanding restaurant equipment manufacturers in each category is recognized with an award. Receiving one of these awards is certainly an honor.

For the last nine years, Manitowoc has been named Overall Best in Class for 2009 in the ice machine category. On the Manitowoc website, Mike Kachmer, president of the company, responds to the news of the award: “We are extremely proud that year after year Manitowoc Foodservice products are voted ‘Best in Class’ by foodservice professionals. As a global leader, we are committed to the development of energy and water conservation solutions and providing innovative products that continue to offer flexibility, efficiency, and food safety.”

If your customers love coffee, you’ve got to have reliable commercial coffee makers on hand at your restaurant. Seems like at any time of day, customers crave coffee. Besides restaurant use, commercial coffee makers are also great for diners, bars, offices and events/conferences. Countless people have made coffee-drinking an early-morning ritual that helps them kick off their day, especially right when they get to work. With heavy demand for coffee in an office setting, employers may want to spring for something that can handle heavy production.

Bunn Commercial Coffee Makers

A favorite — and for good reason — among restaurant industry professionals is Bunn commercial coffee makers. Easy to use, durable and reliable, Bunn commercial coffee makers are a popular choice. There are several different types of Bunn commercial coffee makers.

First, let’s talk about Bunn satellite commercial coffee makers. Units like the Bunn Single Satellite Brewer 27800.0002 brew 10.6 to 11.4 gallons of perfect coffee per hour and feature remote 1 or 2 server docking stations for more satellite coffee serving.

Not too long ago, we posted about whether you preferred making hamburgers with griddles or char broilers at your restaurant. Now, we’d like to spotlight Vulcan griddles and char broilers, which we proudly offer here at ShortOrder.com. If you’re looking for restaurant equipment to make hamburgers or other tasty grilled items, definitely consider Vulcan griddles and char broilers.

Griddles are a flat metal plate made of steel, cast iron or aluminum. Food is cooked on them, and they’re especially useful for cooking different kinds of food — hashbrowns, eggs and pancakes, for example — at once without taste contamination.

If you want to bring the taste of the backyard grill inside, char broilers may be the way to go. You can get grill marks on products and that undeniable grill flavor by using radiant heat or char rocks.

Hatco GR2SDS-24D Countertop Warmer

The Hatco GR2SDS-24D Countertop Warmer is an excellent choice for casual dining establishments that need to make a large quantity of food to satisfy a lunch- or dinner-time rush.  Sturdy enough for back-of-house use yet appealing enough for front-of-house displays, the Hatco GR2SDS-24D is designed with flexibility in mind.  This countertop warmer is equipped with shatter-resistant incandescent lights to illuminate the food holding area.  Heat is designed to flow toward the display’s edges, where heat loss is greatest, which ensures even heating.  This Hatco model is perfect for wrapped sandwiches or pizza.
