Le Continental. Old Québec, Québec, Canada.

“It’s stunning. The more we use it, the more we learn new cooking techniques and processes.”

Mathieu Pettigrew, Co-Owner, Le Continental.

“The best investment ever.”

Today Le Continental has one RATIONAL SelfCookingCenter® 101 and two SelfCookingCenter® 61 XS units, used to prepare about 50 to 60 percent of the menu. The new takeout menu utilizes the RATIONAL combi ovens even further, to prepare ingredients for 75 percent of menu items.

Consistency is elevated, they garner an amazing yield on their duck program, and there is less monitoring of the cooking process, allowing more time for plating and refining sauces.

When they require support, the RATIONAL certified chef and regional sales manager are available immediately to address any challenge and identify solutions.

“No food waste, a more positive work environment, elevated consistency, and less work for the owners because there are fewer rotations on the cooking team and less hiring – RATIONAL is the best investment ever,” Pettigrew said.

“There is now one less prep chef in the morning, reducing payroll, but more importantly, we have absolutely exceptional food and fully satisfied customers.”
