With competition fierce in retail, convenience stores are seeking solutions that will take foodservice programs to the next level. The challenge for hot food programs — fast cooking with high-quality results in a limited footprint.
Merrychef’s high speed ovens meet these challenges head on to support c-stores’ growing foodservice programs. Ideal for the to-go market, the ovens cook fast; a par-baked pizza up to 16 inches takes less than two minutes to cook, while a delicious, hot panini is prepared in only 45 seconds.
Yet, the Merrychef’s high speed doesn’t sacrifice quality or consistency. With its intuitive operating controller and pre-programmed menus, users just press the food image they’re looking for and the oven does the rest. There is no guesswork or extensive training required. Staff can carry on serving other items while food is cooking, enhancing customer service.
An all-in-one unit, the Merrychef is ideally suited to rapidly cook, toast, grill, and reheat fresh or frozen food.
For fast batch cooking in limited space, the new Merrychef conneX® 16 has the largest cavity of any high-speed oven at 16 inches-by-16 inches in an 18-inch footprint. This enables c-stores to deliver food on demand with the flexibility to speedily batch cook to hold popular food items to manage queues.
Merrychef ovens not only increase operational efficiencies with hot food programs in small footprints, but help c-stores manage food waste by cooking on demand. The units also remain in standby mode when not in use for energy efficiency.
Confront the rising cost of food and today’s labor challenges head on, while creating a foodservice destination that blows away the competition.
