Not only is it a popular wedding gift, the toaster is also a staple for nearly every foodservice operation. Why?
Think about your menu. What’s served with most breakfast dishes? Toast. The most common lunch item? Sandwiches. One of America’s favorite foods? Hamburgers. What do each of those menu items need? A toaster. And no restaurant, c-store, or cafeteria menu can compete without a commercial toaster.
There are several types of commercial toasters to consider for your Florida foodservice operation. But before you delve deeper into this countertop cooking equipment, it’s important to first examine how you use a toaster in your day-to-day operations.
How will you use your toaster?
Depending on your foodservice operation’s size, customer traffic, and menu, your toasting needs may vary. A hotel or c-store breakfast station toasts in a batch process, with generally low volume at irregular times. On the other hand, diners and sandwich shops toast continuously in high volumes.
What are you toasting?
When considering a commercial toaster, you must also consider what is being toasted and how it will fit within the equipment. Bread, for example, is much thinner than a bagel or hamburger bun. Ensure that whatever food you will toast can fit the toaster’s opening size.
How much are you toasting?
A fast food chain may need hundreds of buns toasted per hour, while a hotel restaurant might require several dozen toasted bagels during the morning rush. Your cooking volume and your time restraints can both decide the commercial toaster that’s right for you.
