Trends, ideas and customer requirements - all this is reflected in the concepts of RATIONAL. Concepts that are specially tailored to your core challenges. Regardless of whether you require support at one, or more locations.
Of course you know that the location and facilities of the hotel are important to their guests. That the price-performance ratio must be right. That this is both an attractive and competitive market. You therefore need to stand out from the competition. With an attractive F & B concept, for example. Although there is little space, staff or room for creativity.
Trends, ideas and customer requirements - all this is reflected in the concepts of RATIONAL. Concepts that are specially tailored to your core challenges. Regardless of whether you require support at one, or more locations.
"In the early shift, only two people now prepare breakfast for 300 guests."
Jens Hulek, Head of Food & Beverage, Premier Inn, Germany
Food concept
Oriented to your guests, your culinary concept and the competitive situation:
Kitchen concept
Menu, staff, kitchen size - this and other factors will determine the kitchen concept. For one or for 100 hotels.
Training concept
Individually tailored to the needs of your staff.
Service concept
RATIONAL works with certified service partners worldwide, who will support you with individual concepts.
Future concept
Successful today, a flop tomorrow. So that this does not happen, you can rely on regular control.
7 am, a full breakfast room, the guests are in a hurry, they have international cuisine requirements. The time frame is limited. So the iCombi Pro gets busy. As part of your food concept, and being responsible for the hot food components such as pancakes, omelettes and bacon on the breakfast buffet.
MyDisplay
Error-free operation, always the same level of quality with MyDisplay: Different dishes that you specify are shown on the display as an image, or icon. Tap and the iCombi Pro will start. You can also add or delete recipes just as easily.
Shopping carts
With the iCombi Pro, you can always serve your dishes to the same quality. Without any effort or trained staff. The unit has shopping carts, which contain the dishes that can be cooked together on the basis of your food concept. Tap the shopping cart required for production, e.g. E.g. breakfast, on the display, drag the foods to the rack, load the iCombi Pro and the unit will start.


Bread rolls, pizza, burgers, pastries, morning, lunch, afternoon, and evening. Always ready when your customers want it. Fast, uncomplicated and after a quick clean, it all looks as if nothing happened.
An exhausting day is coming to an end, a drink at the bar, a bite to eat - your guests will love this. Surprise them with chicken wings, mozzarella sticks, burgers, pizza and curries. Quick, reliable and prepared to your specifications. Whether at lunch or in the evening, fresh or convenience product.
Convenience products
Here too, the iCombi Pro never loses sight of the desired result and will adjust the settings independently. With the iProductionManager for example, which tells you when you can prepare your specified foods. So that your guests are served quickly, with precise perfection and always to the same standard of quality.
Frozen
The iCombi Pro is so powerful that even frozen food is cooked in no time. Finally, the cooking system recognises the condition and size of the food and adjusts the cooking process accordingly. The result, everything is always consistently high quality.
Freshly cooked
Steak or fresh vegetables are normally a challenge for untrained staff. In the iCombi Pro, however, the cooking path is already created for this and many other products, so that it does it all by itself with its intelligence, there is nothing else to do in the kitchen.

On less than approx. 1 m2, the iCombi Pro will show what you can do with a combination of heat and steam. For 2 or 200 guests. Ready-to-serve products, freshly cooked, frozen and convenience. Thanks to its cooking intelligence and its climate management, it is all done automatically. Precisely. With maximum loads. With mixed loads. No monitoring or checking required. 24 hours a day. So the iCombi Pro gives you outstanding food quality. Time and time again.
Essentially, the iCombi Pro only has one task: Reliably delivering consistent high quality results. It is therefore equipped with a whole lot of intelligence and impresses with productivity, simplicity and quality. For example, it recognises whether it is going to cook one or 20 burger patties and regulates everything automatically. Or it supports you with time or energy-optimised production plans. For the best way to stock the breakfast buffet for example.
Intuitive operating concept
The operating concept runs through the production process with visual imagery, logical work steps and interactive instructions. So that everyone can work error-free from the start.
Ergonomic display
Touchscreen, easy to clean surface, large font and a clear structure. All for simplified working methods.
Efficient food production
Together, standardised quality and intelligent processes make a powerful cooking system. For fast, error-free food production.
ENERGY STAR® partner
The key value is energy-efficiency. This is why the iCombi Pro has been tested by the strictest certification programme.
Integrated WiFi
The integrated WiFi-interfaces means the iCombi Pro connects easily both to the Internet and to your smartphone in order to connect with ConnectedCooking. For fast software updates, recipe transfers and HACCP documentation.
Ultra-fast cleaning
Dirty to clean in approx. 12 minutes, this can only be done by the iCombi Pro. Even the standard clean saves 50%* in time and cleaner.
* Compared to the previous model.
Maximum flexibility
Scrambled eggs, sausages and grilled tomatoes - food products that can be cooked at the same time in the iCombi Pro, using the same cooking method. Creates flexibility, saves time.
iCookingSuite
This makes the iCombi Pro intelligent so that the desired result is reached reliably and automatically. The sensors recognise the size, quantity, browning and condition of the foods and automatically adjust the cooking parameters such as the temperature, cooking cabinet climate, air speed and time. Easy to use. For more time, less raw materials and energy.
