Restaurant Daily News Sunday, May 21, 2017 3 0 INCREASE YOUR RESTAURANT'S EFFICIENCY Manual disposal results in waste and downtime for your staff. Restaurant Technologies ensures your kitchen runs at optimal efficiency. Getting the best return on your oil investment and related fried food costs is critical to managing any foodservice business. Through the implementation of standard operating procedures for disposing of used oil and refreshing new oil, restaurants can drive the efficient use of fryer oil. These proce- dures help to increase efficiencies and improve ROI on oil investments. Restaurant Technologies' customers frequently experience a reduction in oil usage of approximately 15 percent while decreasing oil spend by up to 20 percent and increasing oil and food quality. With its data management tools, these results are sustainable. Restaurants can expect: reduced labor costs associated with more efficient refilling of fryer vats; elimina- tion of waste oil handling and packaging trash; elimination of repair and replace- ment costs for oil filtering and disposal equipment; reduction in new oil con- sumption through better oil management; and elimination of residual oil loss which remains in oil cartons. The web-based customer oil man- agement portal (TOM) provides man- agers with full visibility into oil data and employees' compliance with standard operating procedures. Email alerts help identify when employees deviate from the process, helping to create best prac- tices. With this knowledge, managers can identify immediate training and develop- ment opportunities. Restaurant Technologies provides free, ongoing consulting and training as needed to make sure that you and your employees get the most out of the service. A lockable disposal switch prevents premature oil disposal, and a subscrip- tion-based, high-efficiency filtration sys- tem (Fryer Filtration Monitoring) extends the usage potential of oil, removes food debris and improves food quality and consistency. With the sub- scription-based filtration monitoring service, managers can define a schedule for expected filtration events. Should fil- tration events not be performed or per- formed off-schedule, managers are alert- ed. This allows managers to work with staff and verify that proper filtration pro- cedures are followed to ensure efficient oil usage. Stop by booth #8052 at NRA to see live demonstrations by product experts on how the Total Oil Management system and filtration monitoring technology can increase your restaurants efficiencies. Restaurant Technologies has more than 25,000 customers across the USA, including many of the largest names: Applebee's, Shake Shack, Marriott, Burger King, Hyatt, KFC and over 70 per- cent of all the McDonald's in the U.S. have chosen to put in its system for safety, food quality, sustainability and efficiency.
