Restaurant Daily News Monday, May 22, 2017 4 0 PITCO AN INDUSTRY LEADER IN DESIGN, RESEARCH & DELIVERING NEW IDEAS FOR FRYING There are three distinct features to Pitco's Integrated Oil Management System: ROV Fryers with Auto Filtration, the SOS Smart Oil Sensor and the Infinity Touch 7-inch touchscreen controller. Reduced Oil Volume (ROV) fryer models not only are built with the Solstice Supreme burner technology that is unmatched in today's market, these models are designed with a more shallow fry area reducing the "cold zone." This allows the fryer to achieve the same production with 30 percent less oil. ROV fryers also feature an auto filtration function which will drain, fil- ter and refill the tank without the need for any staff member to come into con- tact with the hot oil. Not only that, but ROV Fryers have a built-in sensor to monitor oil levels and can trigger an Auto Top-Off function that ensures the correct amount of oil is in the fryers at all time. The SOS Smart Oil sensor is the most accurate oil sensor technology available today, and is a key component of the Integrated Oil Management System (IOMS). The SOS sensor pro- vides a numerical readout of the com- pounds in oil that increase as the oil breaks down. You will know for certain when oil is past its useful life, or more importantly, when it is not. The SOS Smart Oil Sensor saves on oil costs and ensures food quality. The SOS could not be easier to use. Built into the filtra- tion system, a reading is taken every time the oil is filtered. Controlling Pitco's IOMS is the Infinity Touch. The 7-inch touchscreen controller features a user friendly and easy to understand program to complete all communications about the fryer. A single touch activates the filtration process from start to finish. The Infinity Touch will data log fryer usage and oper- ator activity, such as number of cook cycles and filtrations per day. It even stores a history of SOS oil quality read- ings. This is the data you need to manage your oil dollars. All of these features working togeth- er are what make Pitco's Integrated Oil Management System the most effective frying solution on the market. The fryer tank and func- tionality design of the ROV fryer using Pitco's Solstice Supreme burner technology, paired with the state-of-the-art Infinity Touch con- troller and the SOS Smart Oil Sensor, are redefining oil management. Pitco's Integrated Oil Management System saves labor cost and improves staff safe- ty in the kitchen and also allows opera- tors to reduce oil use, extend oil life and improve food quality. Stop by booth #4200 to see the IOMS features in person along with how the innovations also helps save the sec- onds and inches of your kitchens.

THE HOWARD COMPANY DIGITAL MENU BOARDS: TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY BUILT ON TRADITION Since entering the digital menu board field 12 years ago with its VisionQuest™ product line, The Howard Company has watched the digital trend grow from modest promotional video screens to full-blown menu displays showing dynamic and static content. Restaurants now have a multitude of choices in screen size, visual displays and program- ming options that were unavailable only a few short years ago. Key to the Howard product line is its all-inclusive package of screens, comput- ers and software, making the conversion from traditional menu boards to a digital system a relatively simple process. The Howard Company brings its expertise in providing high quality indoor digital sys- tems to the drive-thru lane with the DT Choice Digital Drive- Thru Board. Keeping the tradi- tion of giving restaurants options for their drive-thru lanes, The Howard Company offers out- door digital screens in one, two or three panel configurations. The digital drive-thru operates on the same software as the indoor; menu changes can be managed from a central office. "With both indoor and outdoor digital systems avail- able from The Howard Company, restaurants are now able to take full advan- tage of quickly changing menu content locally or glob- ally in a matter of minutes," says Doug Watson, The Howard Company President and Chief Executive Officer.

HACCP SOLUTIONS NO BUSINESS SHOULD BE WITHOUT FDA, FSMA, HACCP – some days the foodservice industry seems like one giant bowl of vegetable soup. That's why Wilpack Packaging has designed a solu- tion to make safety compliance simple. Everyone in the industry has heard about the FDA's FSMA ruling; however, understanding it might be a different mat- ter. The main objective of the FDA's efforts is to protect food from farm to table by creating a modern, risk-based framework for food safety compliance. The goal is to create practices that pre- vent food safety risks, such as intentional and unintentional adulteration of food products. Understanding food safety liabilities and potential legal issues not only pre- serves your reputation and protects con- sumers, but also safeguards the restaurant owner's bottom-line. In the U.S., a cus- tomer only needs to prove food was con- taminated or compromised and had the potential to cause illness or injury. This leaves the potential for any foodservice establishment or delivery service in a food supply chain to be held liable. With the proper preventive practices in place, facing a food safety issue does not have to be a daunting task and can be handled in an efficient manner. Wilpack Packaging offers a way to mitigate risk by providing point of serv- ice, tamper evident sealed packaging solutions to reduce or elim- inate the potential of adul- teration of your food prod- ucts. Protect the freshness and integrity of your prod- ucts along with your reputa- tion. Wilpack's table top, tamper evident sealing equipment provides a 'must have' tool for every kitchen. Whether you have your own deliv- ery service or contract a delivery service, sealing up your sauces, dressings and specialty items ensures not only that they won't spill, but also that they arrive to the customer just as they were created. We covered the safety reasons every foodservice establishment should offer tamper evident sealed products. Now let's talk about customer satisfaction. In a recent survey, over 86 percent of cus- tomers said that their biggest complaint regarding foodservice was food spilling in the bag. Wilpack's tamper evident solution not only offers safety to consumers, but also the superior service of spill proof packaging. Ensure your products get to the consumer they way they were created and intended. By implementing sealed packaging solutions, you not only show customers your commitment to quality and integrity – you also show them you care. Wilpack has the solution you need to show customers they matter … and keep them coming back. Visit Wilpack Packaging at booth #10039 in the Lakeside Center to start imple- menting preventive practices for compli- ance and customer satisfaction. Learn more at www.wilpackpackaging.com.
