Good food is like good conversation.

It keeps people coming back for more.

Colorful, cheerful, full of variety. For lunch, to watch the game, for after-work drinks and appetizers. Cheese sticks, burgers, Buddha bowls, steak, Caesar salad. With family, with friends. Your customers love what you do. They come for your signature dish, for reliably great food, for the conversation. It never gets boring, that’s the main thing. Which is why you have to keep coming up with new ideas, new dishes, new preparation methods. While still meeting your customers’ expectations. Despite cost pressures, a lack of trained staff, a small kitchen. How about adding a delivery service? Or putting seasonal dishes on the menu? Every change is a new challenge. Well, of course – that’s what makes it fun.

No boredom allowed: Varied menus, innovative recipes, happy customers. A great fit in any kitchen.

The iCombi Pro isn’t just intelligent when it comes to cooking. It’s also a smart saver as well. It saves on labor, energy consumption, space, raw materials, and fat, just to name a few. In short: the difference is obvious.

Energy expenses reduced up to 70%*

Short preheating times eliminate the need for stand-by mode. Rolling batches with the iCombi Pro’s iProductionManager save energy as well.

Reduced working time

Say goodbye to routine activities like turning, checking, and re-adjusting oven temperatures. The iCombi Pro’s ultra-fast cleaning saves even more time. Which leaves you 1-2 more hours* every day for other things.

30%* lower space requirements

The iCombi Pro replaces around 90% of conventional kitchen equipment. Goodbye tilting skillets, pots, pans, and deep fryers – hello freedom of movement. Or additional retail space.

Reduce raw product use by up to 25%*

The iCombi Pro adjusts its own cooking processes precisely, which reduces cooking and trimming losses. And its results are always equally good, from the first tray to the last – which significantly reduces food waste. That adds up to savings on raw product.

*compared to conventional cooking technology

Worth it It all adds up to an appliance that pays for itself in no time, while making work fun.

“When I first saw RATIONAL at a show, I was impressed, but I thought it was a little out of my price range. Now I’m on my fourth RATIONAL. We could not have grown without RATIONAL, we would have needed a 20-burner stove and the footprint and the manpower just would not have been possible.”
