St. Martha’s Brasserie D’Orléans. Orléans , Ontario.

“It helps us manage our time, because we never have to guess how much more time we need to cook.”

Michael Gaumond, Executive Chef.

The chef's best friend.

At St. Martha's Brasserie D'Orléans they prepare all their food from scratch. Their menu is inspired by the regional French approach to cooking, with items like moules-frites, ratatouille, poutine, and pouding chômeur

When Chef Michael Gaumond first joined the team at St. Martha's Brasserie, he was not thrilled when he saw the RATIONAL in the kitchen. He was used to having to monitor the items he and his team prepared with a close eye in order to get the result he wanted.

The RATIONAL SelfCookingCenter® quickly became Chef Gaumond's best friend in the kitchen. He shares that “It takes a lot of the panic out of a kitchen and enables my team to do more than what would normally be possible. Using RATIONAL Finishing makes accommodating a gourmet à la cart menu a total breeze.”

When asked if he liked the self-cleaning feature, Chef Gaumond quickly said, “I don't like the self-cleaning. I love the self-cleaning. You just put in your tabs, press a button, and you have a like-new piece of equipment when you come back in the morning. It is a total game-changer.”

  • The challenge:
    Cooking a gourmet à la cart menu with traditional equipment requires more time, labour, and is not consistent.
  • The solution:
    SelfCookingCenter® 101
  • Customer benefit:
    Using RATIONAL Finishing has enabled the kitchen to accommodate a la cart orders without all the panic.
