Bob Gallagher, V.P. of Culinary and Purchasing, and both Jared Campbell and James Rogers, Executive Chefs, were happy to talk about using the 9700 and what it has done for their labor and food waste savings. DayMark began by asking if the 9700 had saved them time in the kitchen compared to handwriting their labels. Bob responded, "Absolutely, yes. And even more so than the printer we had been using because of its batch-printing and re-pan/re-print fea- tures. Being able to print a batch for a station was a huge leap forward. We used to spend time searching for each item with our other label printer. Now we simply print the list and use it like a set list for what our staff needs to make that day." Bob also explained the perks of using a machine that prints specific prep times, something that sets the 9700 apart from other label printers. "If our cooks DayMark ( Cont'd. from p. 1) see a specific time on the label, they can be confident that they are using the ingredients efficiently while preparing dishes that are at the peak of freshness for our customers." Finally, DayMark wanted to know how easy the 9700 was to get up and running and if they have had to contact its tech support team for any questions. Jared responded, "Olivia [a DayMark Regional Account Manager] was here to help us set up our first unit. It was pretty easy to do which allowed us to install our second 9700 on our own. To date, we haven't experienced any issues due to set-up. We did have to call the Tech Support Line one time. We found them to be very helpful and were able to answer our question quickly. We were very happy with the level of service we received during that call."
