Food Equipment News Thursday, February 9, 2017 4 HOW TO PICK THE BEST OPTION FOR ON-DEMAND PRODUCT LABELING When it comes to the new regulations on product rotation labeling, there is simply no choice but to move to an automated option. Outdated colored dots and hand- written labels just don't cut the mustard when the food safety inspector knocks at your door. Printer options that are currently available range from a low of around $300 that connect to your computer and offer limited label options, to models priced in excess of $1000 forcing twice as many labels as needed and still lacking the flexibility. Determine exactly what your specif- ic needs are when selecting a model: sim- ple prep labels and product rotation? What's your storage environment: refrig- erated, moist or warm storage environ- ments? Remember to check your local health department as requirements change rapidly. In some areas of the country, not only is prep and expiration necessary, but product temperature at time of preparation as well. Compared to current product offer- ings, Integrated Control's i.Print series offers the best range of solutions to meet restaurant needs. Unlike other man- ufacturers who force you to take two printers or versions that must be hooked up to a PC, the i.Print line offers three levels of printers, priced to suit your needs. They include: i.Print, Mini, i.Print and i.Print XL. These units offer on-demand label- ing printers that can be used for prep, product rotation and grab'n'go display labels with nutritional facts, ingredient lists and bar codes. i.Print offers more solutions than any manufacturer.

Whether they are a caterer or an execu- tive chef at a hotel, in charge of universi- ty dining services or a corporate cafete- ria, every one of these foodservice oper- ators all share one common desire: to have the right equipment that will get them through any curve ball that may come their way. We all know that when it comes to foodservice, curve balls will indeed be coming, or rather whizzing by, from all corners of the field. It's not uncommon for the kitchen to be producing a variety of hot hors d'oeu- vres, chilled salads and hot entrees for one event, then switching over to cater to a dessert buffet, then going offsite to host a company barbecue complete with ribs, potato salad and all the fixins. What's the best way to hold and transport all this food safely? Hot holding carts and coolers, of course, you are thinking. How else would one accommo- date all of the different temperatures that are needed? With Cambro's latest insulated transport cart, the operator now has the ultimate flexibility to hold hot and cold products, in the same cart, simultaneous- ly. With its dual compartments, the ProCart Ultra™ allows the operator to custom build the cart with variations of hot, cold or passive holding in either top Continued on Page 53 Continued on Page 53 AN INDEPENDENT PUBLICATION NOT AFFILIATED WITH NAFEM Kimberly Oser Publisher Jules Denton Senior Associate Publisher Carlos Velasquez Associate Publisher Lorrie Baumann Editorial Director JoEllen Lowry Jeanie Catron Karrie Welborn Associate Editors Yasmine Brown Jonathan Schieffer Graphic Designers Caitlyn McGrath • Sarah Glenn Customer Service Managers Stacy Davis • Steven Taylor • Hannah Stefanovich Show Logistics & Distribution John Pechota Sales Floor Manager Marcos Morhaim Senior Account Manager James Gennette • Rich Mariscal Account Managers Tara Neal Director of Operations Enrico Cecchi European Sales Food Equipment News is published by Oser Communications Group ©2017 All rights reserved.
