New contract catering foodservice counter features Varithek front cooking
A twin module Rieber ACS Varithek front cooking station now proudly stands within a new food service counter for a contract caterer.
“It’s a great example of how front cooking can transform a front of house operation. Thank you, Agorra Group, for working with us,” says BGL Rieber B & I and National Account Manager Joe Gunstone.
“The chef said it is a fantastic bit of kit, and he loves that he gets to interact with the customers.
“The site’s contract caterer chose this unit specifically for Theatre Cooking. The modules chosen include a 1/1 griddle and flat hobs. The option of a Rieber Teppanyaki non-stick grill pan (in addition to their regular pans), gives plenty of flexibility for the menu to expand the food offer for customers.
“The restaurant serves between 200-300 staff daily for breakfast and lunch.”
FRONT COOKING
Rieber Varithek ACS front cooking stations now include optional fire suppression and self-ventilation.
Varithek does not require overhead ventilation, and its ability to work inside or out means the caterers can take advantage of any good weather to provide meals in the fresh air or under cover.
BGL Rieber has also added the option of Amerex fire suppression. Varithek meets all fire safety requirements, will not set off any fire alarms, and can operate anywhere with the blessing of the fire officer. From fine dining to fast food, the Amerex KP system has the components to meet your client’s needs.
Varithek ACS takes theatre cooking to a new level of professionalism, making it ideal for private clients, event catering, director’s dining, and use within servery counters or food courts, etc.
The ability to generate extra revenue from a minimal footprint is key to Varithek’s success. Thanks to the range of cooking options, including induction and Ceran hobs, woks, griddles, pasta cookers, and fryers, virtually any menu style can be accommodated.
BGL Rieber chose AMEREX fire suppression to provide fire safety for its ACS units because we believe this provides the best alternative to traditional mechanical fire suppression systems.
