The RATIONAL solution.

Catering for large quantities and for such discerning clients is not an easy task. “As our business demands increased, we had to find a solution which ensured we maintained the quality and standard our clients expect, so we were introduced to the VarioCookingCenter®” says Ivan.

“This is an amazing piece of machinery” he adds. The VarioCookingCenter® allows the team to cook beef cheeks, pasta, stocks, sauces and fried foods in a single piece of equipment. “We can cook 250kg pasta and beef cheeks in less than an hour”.

By intergrating the VarioCookingCenter® with the existing SelfCookingCenter® units, the team are able to meet the ever increasing demands of their business. “We’ve increased our productivity and maintained our consistency and quality. Some of our units are up to 22 years old and they are still going strong” says Yvan.
