One of the biggest time savers in any kitchen large or small is a food processor. These powerhouses are known and respected across the industry for their extreme time and labor saving capabilities and consistent results. Robot Coupe has made a name for itself in the foodservice industry by manufacturing food processors that exude quality and reliability while delivering great returns on your investment. Perhaps the most popular of their machines is the R2N. Here's everything you need to know about this time-saving unit:

1. Two In One: The R2N food processor comes with both a 3 quart cutter bowl and a continuous feed vegetable preparation attachment, each designed to fit on one single motor base. The design team at Robot Coupe recognized the importance of maximizing the different preparations common to most foodservice businesses and accomplishing those preparations with one unit. So when you purchase an R2N Food Processor, you're essentially getting two units in one: a bowl unit and a continuous feed unit.
2. Ergonomics: There are a number of ergonomic attributes on the R2N that make operation easier and more convenient for the end user. For instance, the polycarbonate cutting bowl has a lid designed to quickly add additional ingredients and/or liquids while processing.
3. Precision: The Robot Coupe R2N has a pulse function/button on the front of the unit that will deliver that extra control and precision-driven performance that you expect from your foodservice equipment.
4. Versatility: Chopping, grinding, kneading, mixing, pureeing.... these are just a few tasks that can be quickly tackled with a Robot Coupe food processor. The R2N comes standard with a patented stainless steel "S" blade and 2 discs, a 4 mm slicer and a 2 mm grater, which will cover a large range of preparation tasks. However, there are also many add-ons that will make your unit more versatile and will offer different cutting capabilities for your menu demands. (See #9)
5. Time-Saver: Did you know that in under two minutes this food processor can whip up a homemade bowl of mayonnaise, a steak tartare, or a fruit compote (to name a few)? The investment will pay for itself thanks to the sheer speed in which it gets work done day after day
6. Sturdiness: The R2N food processor is equipped with a heavy-duty industrial induction motor that is engineered for durability and reliability in rigorous commercial applications. The direct-driven motor is also built on ball bearings for silent operation without vibration, and because there are no belts or brushes, maintenance is minimal! So whether you're preparing ten meals a day or hundreds, Robot Coupe food processors will get the job done.
7. Space-Saving: The R2N features a slim, compact design that is invaluable for commercial kitchens, which are notoriously short on space. At just over 8 inches wide, the R2N will fit just about anywhere on your countertop, without sacrificing any additional space.
8. Applications: Robot Coupe's ubiquity to the foodservice market is testament to its quality and proven success in the workplace. Commercial kitchens everywhere, from schools, to hospitals, catering businesses, and restaurants large and small, trust Robot Coupe to deliver high performances and consistent results, while helping to streamline the daily operations, thereby saving time.
9. Additional Options: In addition to the two discs that come standard with your R2N purchase, there are over 20 discs that can be purchased additionally to add to the range of cuts and techniques out there. There are also two different blades that can be purchased including a coarse serrated "S" blade, used to knead and grind, and a fine serrated "S" blade, which is used to chop fine, leafy produce. Finally, there are also different bowl types available for you, including a clear polycarbonate, a grey polycarbonate and a stainless steel option.
10. ETL & UL LISTED: This Robot Coupe food processor is ETL and UL listed meaning it has met the rigorous safety specifications set by two of the industry's largest and most respected certifying and testing agencies.

Fresh flowers are a timeless gesture, and they are seen in many different foodservice applications, from hotels to catered banquets, convenience stores and hospitals. As a florist, having adequate floral coolers is vital to prolonging the freshness of their inventory and maximizing profits. Ensuring you get the most life out of each cut flower and arrangement begins with the floral cooler- not to mention the aesthetics of displaying your arrangements in a sleek cooler can help boost sales. Despite their physical similarity, floral coolers are different than your standard commercial cooler counterparts. Here, we answer some of the most frequently asked questions about them:

WHAT MAKES A FLORAL COOLER DIFFERENT FROM A COMMERCIAL GLASS DOOR REFRIGERATOR?

Though they may look the same from the outside, it's the inside that makes floral coolers different from commercial food or beverage coolers. Temperature, humidity and airflow are all important factors in maintaining the lifespan and freshness of flowers, and these three things- along with the cooling mechanism that controls them- comprise the biggest differences between a floral cooler and a glass door food or beverage cooler. Since food and drinks are more dense than flowers, a standard commercial refrigerator is designed to quickly cool them down, without much regard for humidity. Conversely, the specially-engineered cooling systems in floral coolers are designed with temperature and humidity in mind.

WHAT HUMIDITY LEVEL AND TEMPERATURE IS NECESSARY TO KEEP FLOWERS FRESH?

Floral coolers are designed to hold the humidity within the cabinet at a higher level than a standard glass door refrigerator; the optimum humidity level is 95%, the minimum is 80%. This humidity is strategic, as it decreases the amount of moisture the flowers may lose to the surrounding air, thereby prolonging their vase life and keeping them from wilting, dehydrating, and burning out prematurely. Floral coolers also have a baffled air flow which ensures adequate circulation at low velocities, which is less harsh than the higher velocity, fan-driven airflow in a standard commercial cooler. Temperature is another important factor to the lifespan of fresh flowers. Because of their low density, flowers react to temperature changes very quickly. Therefore, floral coolers are designed to hold the temperatures inside the cabinet at 35º F - slightly lower than a normal commercial cooler- and precision is key.

I FOUND A COMMERCIAL UNIT THAT'S ALSO MARKETED FOR FLOWERS- DO I TRUST IT?

Oftentimes, operators make the mistake of buying a unit from someone who says they've converted the system for flowers. Be very wary of these claims. As was aforementioned, the refrigeration systems in floral coolers are designed with certain differences than their commercial cooler counterparts that are vital to the flower's life and freshness, not to mention your sales and profit. Making the necessary changes to a refrigeration system that can handle flower specifications can be very costly.

HOW MUCH MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?

Like any piece of refrigeration, floral coolers require some maintenance, but if well taken care of, they should last for many years. Make sure you have proper airflow around the cooler and keep the refrigeration unit free of dust. Having a small, hanging thermometer on the inside of the cooler is a smart, inexpensive back-up that will help you better regulate any unexpected temperature changes that occur.

Finding a fryer that is durable, efficient, versatile and capable of keeping up with commercial demand can often be an expensive challenge. Thankfully, there's now a option that will save you money without sacrificing on quality. Jaxpro's New Free Standing Floor Fryers are loaded with value-added features and benefits that will bring power, efficiency, and reliable performance to your kitchen. Starting at just $579, these fryers also have a great, low price, making them accessible to all different kinds of businesses and budgets.

Here are the top 10 things you need to know about these affordable, efficient Jaxpro Fryers:

1. The Jaxpro F-340 and F-450 fryers are free standing 3 and 4 tube fryers in 40 and 50 pound capacities. They're both available in natural gas and propane, depending upon your utility needs!
2. The frying tank is made of a peened stainless steel with smoothed welds and it has an efficient 30,000 BTU Heat Exchange Tubes with high heat baffles, a cool zone, and a 1.25-inch full port drain valve.
3. These fryers have a 200 pound shipping weight and are constructed of heavy-duty, durable  materials, including: a full stainless steel front, top ledge, header, and door. The sides and back are made of a high grade G90 galvanized steel.
4. The stainless steel door is supported with a welded magnet and a reversible door handle for extra strength and durability. The doors on commercial equipment are often one of the first things to weaken, and thankfully, these are outfitted to stay strong with time and use.
5. Included with each Jaxpro fryer are two fry baskets made of a nickel chrome wire mesh  with red plastic coated handles. A double rod stainless steel basket holder (pictured above) makes for easy placement of the baskets above and outside of the tank.
6. A wide temperature range of 200 to 400 F is accessible thanks to the 1 millivolt thermostat by Invensys. 
7. For extra security precautions, these fryers have a back up Hi Limit control, which shuts down the fryer if shortening exceeds the maximum temperature, so you can rest assured you're safe and keeping accidents to a minimum.

9. With your purchase, you will get a one year parts and labor warranty!
10. ETL Listed to ensure compliance with the industry's safety standards!

Other Important Considerations:

• The F-340 and F-450 are for commercial installation only and are NOT intended for home use. It's also important to have an adequate ventilation and fire suppression system in place before operating any kind of cooking equipment such as these fryers.
• Need a gas hose or kit? These require a 3/4 inch NPT (19mm) rear gas connection.
• Fryers require a 6 inch clearance on the sides and rear plus a 16 inch minimal clearance to open top burner units or any open flames.
• A combination valve with pressure regulator is provided with this unit (Natural Gas 4'', Propane 10'')

Do you have any questions? We'd love to help you find the right fryer for your business or address any questions you may have. Call us at 1-800-319-0690 from Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM, Central Standard Time. We look forward to hearing from you!

Most chefs would agree that the range is the heart of the kitchen. Commercial ranges are built to handle a multitude of tasks in a compact, space-saving footprint. From sauteeing, grilling, stir-frying, boiling, simmering and braising, ranges are built to handle all kinds of cooking tasks thanks to their different cooktop configurations. It's about maximizing space and performance in one piece of equipment. Virtually every commercial kitchen serving hot food, from small restaurants to large hospitals and schools, is going to need a range, yet each place will have its own needs. Here are a few steps and considerations to keep in mind when shopping for one of your own:

1. What Type & Size?
   The type of range you get is going to be directly related to the size of your restaurant and how many meals you'll be preparing per day. The size of the range will depend on how much space you have to work with in your kitchen and how much power and cooktop space will be needed to satisfy the daily requirements at your restaurant.
   
   1. Heavy-Duty Ranges: If you're operating a kitchen that is putting out more than 250 meals per day, such as a large hospital, school or casino, a heavy-duty range might be the best option for you. These ranges have high energy outputs (upwards of 35,000 BTU per burner) and are designed with the specific intent to do high volume cooking all day long. They are built with durable, heavy-duty stainless steel and are designed to accommodate large pots and pans. These ranges are often seen connected with other heavy-duty ranges to form a long battery of cooktops.
   2. Restaurant Ranges: For restaurants large and small, a commercial restaurant range is the industry standard. These stand-alone ranges are designed to keep up in the commercial sector and they have plenty of BTUs for the day-to-day. Restaurant ranges also tend to be less expensive than their heavy-duty counterparts and they come in a wide variety of sizes varying in 12'' increments, from 12'', 24'', 36'', 48'', 60'' and 72'' widths to fit your unique size restrictions.
   3. Specialty Ranges: Oftentimes, there are needs for a more specialty range. Stock pot ranges are one example and are most commonly used to heat up large, heavy pots full of liquid, which is why they have a lower height. Induction ranges are another commonly seen specialty range which are growing in popularity in the foodservice market today.
      
      
2. Menu + Cooktop Configuration
   Deciding on a cooktop configuration is your opportunity to determine how much of your menu will rely on a range with different cooking surfaces. From basic burners to griddles, there are numerous options out there that should be considered based on the kinds of items that appear on your menu, like eggs and hot sandwiches. There are also add-on broiler options that can be found on many commercial ranges, so you can have a cheesemelter or a salamander mounted on your range to nicely finish off your dishes.
   
   1. Open Burner: The most common of the cooktop options, the open gas burner offers the operator a direct open flame that can be used with pots and pans to achieve all kinds of results, from boiling to stir-frying. The BTU of each burner ranges per manufacturer, though most can give off from 20,000 to 35,000 BTUs each.
   2. Griddle: The smooth, flat griddle surface is another commonality on commercial ranges and adds a different dimension to your cooktop. If your menu includes breakfast, the griddle option will be key to cooking up eggs, pancakes and more.
   3. Combination: Perhaps your menu calls for both burners and griddle space. In that case, you can get the most flexibility all on one cooktop. Commercial range manufacturers like Garland and Southbend have numerous design options to choose from.
      
      
3. Hood Codes
   Knowing how much space you have under your exhaust hood is a key factor in determining range size. Most code requires that your hood extend at least six inches on either side of your range. So if you have a 60'' hood, the largest range you could have would be 48 inches wide. It's extremely important to check with your local health and safety codes to determine the specifications in your area.
   
   
   
   
4. Utilities
   Determining what utilities are available in your venue is crucial to knowing range you will need.
   1. Gas vs. Electric : Whether your kitchen has gas or electric utilities, there are range options to suit your set-up. Gas ranges are the most commonly used in commercial kitchens and they're reliant on a flow of natural gas or liquid propane gas from the utility source to the equipment via a gas connection hose. Having the right sized hose is imperative to ensuring your range is fed with the proper amount of gas. When gas is not available, electric ranges are, and knowing the voltage requirements at your hook up is key. Talk to a Mission Restaurant Supply agent to make sure you have the right unit!
      
      
5. Other Considerations
   1. Casters: Casters are a nice alternative to legs on a commercial range for their easy mobility so you can clean behind the range in those grimy, hard-to-reach areas. (These grimy, hard-to-reach areas also happen to be one of a health inspectors frequently watched areas.)
   2. Ovens \ Storage Space: Most ranges today have an oven cavity below the cooktop, and for larger models, there are often more than one to maximize your baking space. Other models have storage spaces in lieu or in conjunction with an oven, offering room to store pots, sheet pans and more.

If you need any help or have any questions about replacing an old range or buying a new one, please call us at 1-800-319-0690 Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM Central Standard Time. One of our agents would be happy to help you find the right commercial range for your business.

In every commercial kitchen, time is of the essence. That's why Robot Coupe USA has made it their mission to make products that will save time in the back of the house. Here are a few things to know about this industry favorite brand:

1. Before Robot Coupe came out with their food processors and food preparation equipment, chefs around the world were using manual labor to cut, slice, grate and shred their vegetables and other menu ingredients. Talk about labor intensive! When the Robot Coupe processor came on the market, it revolutionized the way this tedious work was done and saved operators a tremendous amount of time and money. It continues to do so today.
   
   
2. You may wonder why the Robot Coupe name is synonymous with commercial food processors in the USA. This is because Robot Coupe USA was the actual company that formally introduced the commercial food processor to North America! The brand Robot Coupe was started in the well known gastronomic region of France called Burgundy nearly forty years ago. 3 men from Jackson, Mississippi saw the Robot Coupe French food processor in a restaurant in New Orleans and decided that America needed it too. They, in conjunction with Robot Coupe France, started Robot Coupe USA and began their voyage. By traveling from seminar to seminar, convention to convention, and show to show across America, the Robot Coupe USA team became the first company to demonstrate how their product could save people drastic preparation time in their kitchens. Today, the brand continues to be the "Standard of the Industry" for commercial food processing and food preparation equipment. 
   
   
3. The Robot Coupe name can be found in all facets of the foodservice industry, both large and small. From hospitals to cruise ships, restaurants, hotels, correctional facilities and more, there is no application that Robot Coupe can't handle. Robot Coupe USA is based in Jackson, Mississippi and their quality control, attention to service and dedication to education and innovation keeps them at the forefront of the foodservice industry.

Every commercial kitchen, be it a cafeteria, a hospital, a school, a nursing home or a stadium, has a couple of things that it can't operate without. One such thing is flatware: the forks, knives and spoons that allow diners to eat the food created for them. Unfortunately, however, its' lightweight nature makes it highly susceptible to being thrown out unknowingly when plates are being scraped. In fact, did you know that flatware is one of the most frequently re-ordered kitchen items for a restaurant operator? Because these flatware items are tossed out accidentally, costs can grow at unprecedented rates. It's like throwing away money! One of the ways to control this rising cost is to invest in a Silver Saver by the Restaurant Remedy Group. This magnetic probe is designed to grab tossed flatware from the trash. Simply insert it directly into the garbage can and let it do the dirty work for you.


Here are a couple of key things to know:

1. The SilverSaver works perfectly with 18/0 flatware and other 18/0 metal objects like souffle cups and ramekins as it is highly magnetic. For those operators with 18/10 flatware, the SilverSaver may not retract lost flatware quite as easily since the higher nickel content is attributed to lower magnetism.

2. Since the SilverSaver will be swimming in the trash on an hourly basis, cleaning it should be an obvious priority. The manufacturer recommends cleaning it with hot water and a towel every two hours but notes not to expose the magnet to temperature over 176º F in order to keep its strength.

3. The Restaurant Remedy Group has a nifty savings calculator on their site where you can calculate just how much money you can save at your establishment by investing in their product. Depending on the total number of stores and the average cost of flatware per piece in addition to the average number of pieces lost a day, you can configure how much money you will save per day, per month and per year. (Some operators make their money back in just 30 days or less!)

4. There are two SilverSavers available for purchase, both at great, affordable price points. The SilverSaver Ultra is your classic tool complete with a high-powered magnet. The SilverSaver Elite is the same as the SilverSaver Ultra but is is equipped with a magnetic auto release so you can effortlessly remove retrieved silverware by squeezing a trigger.


What do you think? How much flatware do you run through on a weekly, monthly, yearly basis? It might be more than you think! The SilverSaver is designed to troubleshoot these issues and relieve these lost costs by quickly and easily extracting lost items from the depths of the garbage. You can shop for the SuperSaver here and we welcome your calls at 1-800-319-0690 Monday through Friday.
