Heated plates might not seem like an essential item in your kitchen but a little effort heating your serving plates can quickly and easily create a much more pleasurable experience for your customers.
Customers are becoming ever more discerning and in these financially-tight times customers are always trying to maximise the enjoyment of their dining experiences. Eating in a restaurant is as much about spending time with friends as it is about enjoying the food and wine and heated plates will ensure the food stays warn and enjoyable for longer. Customers who linger over the main courses are also likely to order more drinks (with their associated profits for you!) than customers who gobble down their food.
One of the easiest, most economical and space-saving ways to heat plates is with a plate lowerator, such as an Edesa plate dispenser, available exclusively through Fagor. Plate lowerators (or plate dispensers) are available in both mobile and fixed versions. The dispensers incorporate a heated tube and are spring-loaded so that the pile of plates is raised each time a (heated!) plate is removed. Drop-in, fixed plated dispensers are extremely cost effective and are ideal for small kitchens as they can be installed into an existing kitchen bench. Mobile plate dispensers are a very flexible option for kitchens where space is at a premium and their easy maneuverability means they can, for example, be moved to the dishwashing area to be loaded with clean plates to create create a better, safer working environment for staff.
This simple yet effective piece of equipment really could help elevate your restaurant
