Choosing to eat fast food doesn’t mean the quality of food will be mediocre. Today many quick-service restaurants (QSRs) are preparing fresh food in-house and providing menu items like fresh-made guacamole to delight their customers.

The appreciation of good menu options is evident in how much consumer spending has risen in fast food chains. Having the right equipment to prepare food quickly is the key to prepping on-site and getting orders out the door.

PREP WORK MADE EASY.

Preparing some items on-site and not using frozen products is not only about improving the flavor of food. Many QSRs are now using locally sourced ingredients to help satisfy customers who are looking for fresher products in their food. But prepping on-site isn’t always easy if your team doesn’t have access to the right equipment. 

For foodservice operations that are preparing their guacamole, salsa or soups, having a heavy-duty immersion blender can mean the difference between smoothly processed foods and food that doesn’t meet some chain’s standards. Waring Commercial Immersion Blenders offer motors powerful enough to completely blend food products without burning out. Available in lengths from 7 inches to 21 inches and cordless or plug-in, there’s a model to blend the thickest of cheese sauces.

HELP ANYWHERE YOU NEED IT.

Obtaining the right caramelization on toast or burger buns can make the difference in serving a decent burger and serving a burger that knocks people’s socks off. With high-temperature toasting capabilities and a space-saving design, Prince Castle Slim-Line Vertical Contact Toaster cooks up bread quickly. 

Easily operated by one staff member, the bread is placed at the top of the toaster. As it makes its way to the bottom of the toaster, the two-level platen system allows the toasting of bread of different widths at the same time and without crushing. The Slim-Line is also available in varying times of toasting from nine to 40 seconds letting your QSR customize how much caramelization you need. Requiring only eight inches of counter depth, the Slim-Line fits easily in any commercial kitchen.

SAVE ON TIME AND LABOR.

Labor in the restaurant world is often limited, especially in the fast food space. Finding ways to make tasks easier or completed quicker can help with labor issues, not only for monetary reasons but also so your staff can provide more customer service and upsell products.

Slicing tomatoes is easier and quicker with the Prince Castle Saber King. A universal food prep system evenly slices and dices tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, peppers and any items to make your food tastier. Speeding prep of local vegetables, saving on labor and allowing your business to replace all current slicers in your commercial kitchen. The Saber King also makes a safer environment for employees who won't have to use knives to cut product, helping prevent cuts and worker's compensation claims. 

Both the Waring immersion blenders and the Prince Castle vertical toaster and Saber King are easy to use without the need for extensive training. And they’re all simple and quick to clean. Helping with kitchen cleanup and making sure that equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized every night.
