MFG Tray Food Prep and Storage Containers

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 15:07:24 +0000

Bellingham, WA, May 16, 2023– Wood Stone Corporation is proud to announce the launch of its latest innovation, the OneRev Rotating Pizza Oven. This revolutionary device is designed to make perfect artisanal pizzas without the pizza chef constantly turning and moving the pizza in the oven. Since you don’t need a person to continuously watch the pizza in the oven, it can be a great solution to the labor challenges that pizzerias and restaurant businesses face today.

The Wood Stone OneRev Rotational Pizza Oven makes the perfect artisanal pizza in just one rotation, every time. All you need to do is build and load the pizza, remove it when it’s done, and serve it to your customers. The OneRev Oven takes care of the baking process from start to finish, making it easier for businesses to produce high-quality pizzas consistently, at volume.

“We are excited to introduce the OneRev Rotating Pizza Oven. It is a revolutionary device that will transform the way pizzas are cooked in food service establishments. With its labor-saving features, businesses can reduce costs while maintaining consistent quality, making it the ultimate solution for any food service establishment looking to improve their pizza program.”, says Dean Tryon, Director of Innovation and Engineering at Wood Stone.

This innovative oven is ideal for businesses looking to reduce labor costs while maximizing throughput. With the ease of operation, there is no need for a trained pizza oven operator to use the OneRev Rotating Pizza Oven, which can result in labor savings of $30K or more. Businesses can now easily hire and train new employees, without the hiring and retention headache. The OneRev Oven is versatile and capable of baking multiple-sized pizzas with various toppings at the same time, thanks to the Pizza Tracker, an innovative dynamic thermal management system. With zero recovery time, there is no impact from continuously loading pizzas, enabling maximum throughput and reducing wait times. The center, underfloor, and finish flames ensure even baking of every pizza, making it the ideal choice for food service establishments that want to stand out from the competition.

“At Wood Stone, we believe that innovation is key to success, and the OneRev Rotating Pizza Oven is a testament to that,” said Chris Trout, President and CEO of Wood Stone. “With the labor challenges faced by the food service industry, we invested and developed a solution that saves on labor costs and makes it easier for businesses to hire and retain employees. Restaurants and pizzerias are able to consistently provide great tasting pizzas to their customers.”

To celebrate the launch of OneRev Rotating Pizza Oven, Wood Stone is offering a special package deal for a limited time. The launch package includes a free powder coating of the oven in the customer’s choice of color, a custom brand panel to display the customer’s logo or artwork and a custom arch doorway for a unique look.

Electro-Mate Automated Cake Shell Border Decorating System

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 19:35:12 +0000

In the past, only large national brands such as Denny’s, Chuck E Cheese, Applebee’s, Chili’s, Outback, and Hooters have had a virtual brand associated with their brick and mortar locations. However, today, many smaller restaurants have joined the virtual food revolution. Small restaurants are finding that virtual brands increase online orders that go directly to their bottom line, as they don’t require additional overhead nor labor.

In 2020, the United States virtual restaurant & ghost kitchens’ market was valued at $201.75 Million, having increased from $32.75 Million in 2016. Looking forward, the US market is forecasted to reach $1,014.3 Million by 2027, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.63%, between 2021 and 2027.

“Not all virtual brands are the same” says Greg Murphy, CEO of Virtual FOODS. “Partnering with a virtual restaurant company can be confusing. One should consider the impact on their business. Will you have to inventory additional ingredients? Will you have to make new menu items or follow new recipes, train staff on new items, or will the virtual brands allow your menu items to remain as is? What are the fees and commissions? Are you obligated to continue even if it turns out the virtual brand is not a good fit? All of these questions should be considered.”

Murphy added, “We’ve found small restaurants prefer our no-risk business model:

$1,500 to $4,000 additional income per month,

Flatbread makers are choosing LloydPans for baking performance, efficiency

The summer pizza party continues at LloydPans, and what’s a better way to satisfy your consumers than by adding flatbreads to your menu? When developing our line of Flatbread Pans, we started by looking at the shape and size of most restaurant flatbreads. We knew that if we designed a pan perfect for an oval or rectangular flatbread, we would increase baking performance and efficiency. Next, we looked at the required perforations needed to impart the perfect, crispy crust. Our design research paid off, and our food solutions experts are proud to show off our exceptional line of Flatbread Pans.

Calling All Chicagoland Plant-Based Lovers: Rosati’s Pizza Brings New Vitalite™ Vegan-Certified Cheese to Its Menu

Tue, 21 Jun 2022 17:35:24 +0000

Finally, a tasty and melty plant-based cheese

CHICAGO (June 2, 2022) – To meet growing consumer interest and demand for plant-based food options, Rosati’s Pizza is bringing Vitalite^™, a vegan-certified, dairy-free cheese alternative from Saputo Dairy USA (SDUSA), to the menu at its Buffalo Grove location, starting this month. Vitalite^™Shredded Mozzarella Style cheese will be available as an ingredient on all 12-inch and 14-inch pizzas.

For nearly a century, Rosati’s has lived by the words of founder Saverio “Sam” Rosati, “Give the people what they want” and has prided itself on creating authentic, Chicago-style pizza that uses only the best ingredients.

“We are excited to expand our Buffalo Grove menu with a limited trial run of Vitalite^™plant-based cheese,” said Jeff Rosati, chief financial officer at Rosati’s Pizza. “Customers with dietary restrictions can now enjoy the quality pizza Rosati’s is known for by substituting our classic whole milk mozzarella with Vitalite^™, a vegan-certified, dairy-free alternative.”

The popularity of plant-based cheese continues to grow among people who are increasingly following a flexible eating style that includes plant-based foods and beverages while also allowing some animal products.

“According to global market research firm Mintel, nearly half of all U.S. consumers say they follow a flexitarian approach to eating, so having quality plant-based options on the menu is a must,” said David Cherrie, SDUSA Vice President, Marketing and Innovation. “In what is predicted to be the biggest year yet for plant-based foods, Rosati’s is getting ahead of the game and offering Chicagoland pizza lovers a delicious plant-based pizza alternative featuring Vitalite^™that fits in with today’s consumer lifestyle needs.”

A social listening study conducted by Saputo shows that consumers feel current vegan cheese offerings do not deliver on key attributes such as taste, texture and performance. As one of the world’s top 10 dairies, Saputo saw an opportunity to create a better vegan cheese with its introduction of the Vitalite^™brand of products for both restaurant and at-home use.

Learn more about Vitalite^™at Vitalite.com and follow the brand on Facebook and Instagram @VitaliteUSA. For more information on Rosati’s Pizza, visit RosatisPizza.com. To order your favorite pizza topped with Vitalite^™, go to: https://www.rosatispizza.com/location/buffalo-grove-il/

The RediHEAT Heated Delivery Bag offers a safe, cost effective way to satisfy your customer’s hot food delivery demands. Measuring 20″ x 13″ x 13″ – this versatile bag will carry pasta, wings, ribs, or burgers – you name it – and get it there hot! This complete, ready-to-use heated food-delivery system includes the bag, heating element, cord, and a sturdy insert for added stability. Our high-quality electric food bags are made with a patented electronic heating system to keep your food hot for 45 minutes. All of our delivery bags and heaters are proudly made in the USA and we guarantee our work with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty on each heater. Each bag has a special pocket for the heater which keeps the heating element secure inside the bag so that it doesn’t move around during delivery. The cord plugs into a regular wall outlet, no special equipment or transformers are required. It takes about eight minutes from a cold start to heat your bag. Once you come back from delivery and the bag is plugged in, it usually takes about 4-5 minutes to reach the optimal heating temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit. After the pizza is boxed and out of the oven, insert the pizza boxes in the bag, close the bag and disconnect for delivery. Your cord stays in your shop and you’re ready to go. Your drivers don’t have to do anything different. The heater always stays in the bag and the combination of the heater and the thermal qualities of the bag will make sure your pizza stays hot all the way until it reaches your customer.
