Another challenge is the evolving expectations of guests. They seek authentic, honest cuisine—flavors that evoke memories, not extravagant experiments. Whether it’s the aroma of freshly baked sourdough bread or the taste of a traditional Greek dish, consistency is key. With RATIONAL’s baking programs and original accessories, Konstantinos achieves the perfect crust and texture every time. “What I value most is knowing that every loaf of sourdough bread turns out just right - crispy on the outside, fluffy inside. Some guests even take it back to their home countries. For the traditional Greek food, the RATIONAL technology is very important, because we can control the humidity and climate perfectly, which brings the unique taste.“
Space constraints in the kitchen also pose difficulties. The iCombi units help overcome this by replacing multiple conventional appliances, offering unmatched flexibility. From morning bread and sweets to evening main courses, the units are in constant use.
Cleaning used to be another time-consuming task, especially after preparing traditional Greek dishes. “It used to take an hour and required a lot of manual effort,“ says Konstantinos. “Now, cleaning is seamlessly integrated into our daily routine.“
