Rep Prep from Eaton Marketing is an informative series that gives you access to one of our foodservice equipment experts. In this edition, spend 10 minutes with Bob Saraceno, and find out what aspect of foodservice he thinks has really changed in the last few years.
Serving stations have one key job to perform: giving diners access to food in cafeterias and buffet-type applications. While this goal may seem simple to achieve, it often becomes far more difficult in practice. A combination of poor layout and outdated technology may lead to a range of problems, from line slow-downs to improper temperature control.

One critical component to answering these questions and more relates to the importance of the school cafeteria serving line.
We've done a lot of work in the Florida school systems, solving a range of different school nutrition challenges. Decreasing budgets, falling student participation, new nutrition standards, building code regulations -- the list goes on and on.
