Delta Hotel Dartmouth. Dartmouth, Canada.

Great views and dining that keeps guests coming back.

The new and improved kitchen.

Delta Hotel Dartmouth was completely renovated and reopened in 2017. It is a stunning property located in the heart of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, a beautiful city on the East coast of Canada. Dartmouth is just a twenty-minute drive from downtown Halifax. Since hotels located downtown can be quite pricey, many tourists find great value in staying in Dartmouth. They get all the beautiful views, without the giant price tag.

The hotel features event banqueting, in-room dining, and a quick take away counter. It also has a restaurant called Pitch and Pivot, which well known for its incredible holiday meals, such as Easter brunch and Christmas parties.

Their Christmas party dinner features up to 36 full turkeys. Executive Chef, Marc Patterson, shares that prior to kitchen renovations it would take him two whole days to prepare all the turkeys. Now, with the SelfCookingCenter^® is takes him just one day. “It is like having another person working in the kitchen. A very precise and hard working person.” shares Chef Patterson.

The kitchen team at the hotel are also fans of the SelfCookingCenter^® as Chef Patterson shares that it has made everyone's lives much easier. “Since they aren't having to stand over it or even clean it as they would with other equipment, it frees them up to work on other things and get more done in the same amount of time.”

“Any kitchen would be crazy not to invest in this product.”

The RATIONAL Solution.

Overnight Cooking.

One of Chef Patterson's favorite features of the SelfCookingCenter^® is its ability to cook overnight when his kitchen would have been traditionally unused. He uses this feature to slow cook meats overnight, which are then used to make tasty sandwiches for banqueting and take-out counter. “This is just one more feature that helped pay off the investment into this equipment very quickly.” shares Chef Patterson.

RATIONAL CustomerCarePlus.

Chef Patterson also pointed out that the after sales tools and support that RATIONAL provides has been very powerful for his kitchen. “It is more than just the machine. All the resources that came along with it, such as the chef support and ConnectedCooking, have been great.” he shares.

To say adding the SelfCookingCenter^® was a positive experience for this kitchen would be putting it lightly. Chef Patterson said he had his SelfCookingCenter^® only two weeks before asking his boss for a second one so that he could get rid of his brand new steamer and cook even more with RATIONAL.

Customer benefit:

The kitchen is able to produce food faster and achieve more consistent results than with their traditional equipment
With the unit being able to clean itself and cook overnight a lot less labour is required
