Good food is like good entertainment.

You keep coming back for more.

Colourful, bright and diverse. For a lunch, a beer after work, a cocktail and a small bite to eat: mozzarella sticks, burgers, salad bowls and steak. With the family or with friends. Your guests love what you do. They come for your signature dish, because of the reliable quality and because of the great entertainment. The important thing is that it does not become boring. You therefore have to keep offering new things. Ideas, dishes and cooking methods. At the same time, you need to move within the framework your guests expect from you. In spite of staff shortages, cost pressures and a small kitchen. Adding a delivery service? Seasonal dishes on the menu? Any change is still a challenge. But that is the fun of it after all.

Out with the boredom. Food variety, own recipes and satisfied customers. Fits with every kitchen.

Efficiency reinterpreted: Roasting, grilling, baking, boiling and steaming – intelligently regulated. On less than approx. 1 m2, carefully coordinated humidity, air speed, and temperature. In a cooking system that thinks with you, learns from you, forgets nothing, adjusts and adapts. Thanks to its intelligence assistant functions, it responds to all changing requirements dynamically. More spare ribs than usual? Has the cooking cabinet door been open too long? Need a higher temperature? Here too, the iCombi Pro never loses sight of the desired result and adjusts the settings independently.

Everything for the one goal: So you can keep on impressing your customers with outstanding food quality.

The iCombi Pro does not only cook intelligently but also saves intelligently. Such as in energy consumption, workload, space requirement, consumption of raw materials, consumption of fat. In short, the results are impressive.

Up to 70 %* lower energy costs

Short preheating times eliminate the need for standby mode. Rolling loads with the iProductionManager in the iCombi Pro also save energy.

Less working time

It eliminates the need for routine tasks such as turning, checking and readjustment. The ultra-fast cleaning in the Combi Pro saves more time. It creates 1-2 hours* more time per day for other things.

30 %* less space requirement

The iCombi Pro replaces approx. 90 % of conventional kitchen equipment. So out with the tilting pan, pots, pans and deep-fat fryer – and in with freedom of movement. Or additional shop space.

Up to 25 %* less consumption of raw materials

The iCombi Pro sensitively adjusts its cooking processes which reduces weight and cutting loss. It also produces the same high quality on every single rack, which considerably reduces waste. Overall, this reduces the consumption of raw materials.

* Compared to conventional cooking technology

It pays off. The bottom line is the extremely quick amortisation, but it's also fun to work with.

"The possibility of supervising the RATIONAL cooking systems opens up the door to some amazing possibilities. Our service partners can now identify the cooking systems at risk of failing before they do so and either plan a maintenance visit or in some cases even troubleshooting via remote access. This has helped reduce the number of maintenance calls by 35 % since the introduction of ConnectedCooking."

Different kitchen concepts require different cooking systems. You can produce food internally and finish it externally. Front of house cooking?
