Not only are Vulcan Endurance Ranges dependable and versatile, but they are built to work hard in operations of varying sizes. They are packed full of features to help restaurants operate at peak productivity.
Just one look inside a medium-duty Endurance Range, and you will won’t find screws or rivets that can be broken. You will see heavy-duty welded construction on a MIG welded stainless steel frame that is sure to hold up in even the toughest environments.
The Endurance line features technological advances that keep up demands of a kitchen from this century. A Shrouded Flash Tube Pilot System is used rather than standard pilot lights. These shrouded pilots are protected from boil-overs and grease spills that are bound to happen in any kitchen. With Vulcan’s flash tubes, a six burner range can run with three lights instead of six. This innovative feature will save an operation hundreds of dollars each year in saved gas from keeping a pilot on.
With any kitchen operation, it’s good to have options. That is why the Endurance Line has more than 300 standard configurations. Vulcan uses a modular approach to building the Endurance Range. This allows for some configurations to ship within two days if they are in stock.

The biggest difference of what separates a good commercial reach-in refrigerator and a better one is how well it maintains proper temperatures when its doors are open.
Traulsen’s G-Series Reach-in Refrigerators come standard with a host of upgrades that help it maintain temperatures and keep food safe longer than other commercial units. Many of those upgrades you’d only expect to find on high-end Spec Line units or custom built reach-ins.
Traulsen uses thermal expansion valves in all of their G-Series units. Expansion valves better regulate the flow of refrigerant and are more efficient than capillary tubes, which are found in most commercial refrigeration units. Expansion valves respond to ambient environmental conditions better and improve temperature recovery time once the reach-in doors are closed.
The Traulsen G-Series also features larger evaporator and condenser coils with more surface area (in some instances, as much as four times the surface area of other commercial units). The larger surface area provides for more efficient operation and improved refrigeration recovery time.
In most commercial refrigeration units, the air-flow pattern is designed to circulate chilled air from top to bottom and back to front. When the door is opened, the air-flow pattern pushes cold air out the front of the unit. The G-Series is designed with an air-flow that circulates in a clock wise fashion, from top to bottom and side to side. Opening the door does not interrupt the air-flow pattern as severely and less cold air escapes from the unit.
With dirty or damaged door gaskets, a reach-in door may as well be partially open all the time. Traulsen’s G-Series comes standard with magnetic snap-in “EZ-Clean” door gaskets boasting a lifespan that is 5 to 10 times longer than traditional door gaskets. Additionally, the G-Series features a “Load-Sure” guard that ensures cold air can flow throughout the cabinet, even when the unit is improperly overloaded.
Finally, Traulsen’s Plug & Play Microprocessor & Control System has a lower fail rate than the typical electromechanical controls used in most commercial units.
All in all, the standard G-Series reach-in from Traulsen performs like a top-of-the-line unit, with a lower lifetime cost, and upgrades that keep food safer, longer, even when the door is being opened and closed every few minutes.

Lakeside’s SuzyQ Cart System is completely mobile, compact, and a completely improved system of how we serve meals in health care communities (HCC)!
Tray service is typically the method of serving meals in HCC’s, however, many times tray service results in a lot of waste as residents throw away portions they won’t finish. Residents also don’t have much choice as to menu options or portion sizes. There is also limited communication with cooks and staff.
The SuzyQ cart system allows staff to deliver a selection of hot and/or cold menu items to the tableside. Residents can see the food, select the items they want, and portion sizes they feel comfortable with. They feel more empowered when given real choices and benefit from the opportunity to interact and chat with staff members. Serving “seconds” is easy and quick.
The SuzyQ cart system also benefits staff. The cart is easy to maneuver and there is no running back and forth to deliver trays. There are no more tray lines and no reading or updating long preference lists. Cooks can get out from behind their serving stations and interact with their residents, learning about their likes and dislikes. The SuzyQ cart system holds food at the proper temperatures until the moment it is served, and because residents control selection and portion size, there is dramatically less food waste at the end of each meal.
The SuzyQ cart is stainless steel and is available with laminate colors. It has two separate wells. Each is large enough to hold a full size hotel pan or any configuration of smaller pans. The SuzyQ features pull-out drawers, roller bumpers, locking casters, a plate shelf and a pull out condiment rail. It is available with a heated drawer, cutting board or heated plate shelf. The mini SuzyQ serves up to 20 residents, while the regular cart serves up to 40. The SuzyQ also comes with RD support and educational resources.

Vollrath has introduced a complete new line of commercial grade Conveyor Toasters. In 2017, Vollrath purchased Belleco with a goal to keep the same high quality, energy efficient, commercial grade toasters that were a long time leader in the category.
These toasters will still feature a broad range of different options and price points to fit your needs. Select a unit with enough clearance to handle toast, bagels or buns. For lower volume operations, self-service, or to replace a pop-up unit, check out the 120V-CT2. It produces 350 slices per hour.
Need more production? The 240V-CT4 produces 2000 slices per hour. There are variations for every type of electrical service, every production capacity, and every price point in between.
These Vollrath conveyor toasters feature standard high efficiency quartz tubes, a standby mode that reduce energy use by 75%, and an automatic cool down fan. A stainless steel corrosion resistant drive chain never needs lubrication. Top and bottom heating options are available with a variety of control configurations to suit your needs and maximize versatility. All units feature higher temperature wiring and components than you’d can expect to find on a competing brand. This ensures longer life and uninterrupted operation.

Protecting the look of a clean table at a buffet can be difficult. A linen tablecloth presents its challenges as many who sit down at the tables spill all sorts of food on a freshly placed tablecloth, making it difficult to cleanup for the next group to sit down in a clean spot.
The solution: Tablecraft’s Aluminum Tabletop Covers! Designed for a standard 6’ or 8’ table, this two-piece design is simple to set-up and take down. They fit over a draped table, and wrapped over the edge to create a sleek, easy-to-clean surface. Simply wiping down with a cloth will make it look as great as when freshly placed.
These Aluminum Tabletop Covers will last through years of use, and help save money and time. They are lightweight, easy to store, and are ideal for banquet setups, catering, or any front-of-house display. They feature a random swirl surface pattern and come with your choice of three available coatings: translucent clear (for a plain aluminum look), translucent copper or black.

Building upon the success of Globe’s GPS5 and GPS10, the new GPS10-S portion control scale is full of features that arrived just in time for the New Year! Waterproof at a depth of up to one meter for 30 minutes when the platter is attached allows it to be protected from spills, and accidental being immersed in liquid. Waterproofing also eases an otherwise cleanup headache that can occur.
The GPS-10 Portion Control Scale also settles quickly and measures accurately to within 1 gram. Choose your unit of measurement between pounds and ounces, ounces or kilograms. This scale also has a low-battery indicator to prevent surprises happening when things are moving fast throughout the kitchen. To help it preserve its battery life, the scale automatically shuts off after 5 minutes of non-use.
Order in either a single pack, or an economical 4 pack if you’re planning on upgrading multiple units. It has a 10+ lb. weight capacity and a marine edge to help contain drips. For more information on the Globe GPS10-S Waterproof Scale, click here.

Improve your recycling game using the Slim Jim Recycling Station from Rubbermaid Commercial Products! Known for their durability and venting channels to make removing liners 80% easier, Slim Jim recycling components also offer a convenient cinch that secures liners around the rim of the container and allow for knot-free liner changes.
It is really simple to set up (no hardware needed), and will give users a clear indication where items go. Simply choose the number of bases and lids that you will need. Next, order enough snap on connectors to attach to each base to the one next to it. A simple billboard attaches the rear of each base, allowing for a variety of different waste labels to indicate the intended waste. Choose from either icons or words.
Rubbermaid Commercial also offers a number of lid inserts to help make sure that various items make it into the right receptacles. For instance, one has a long narrow slot for plastic plates; another has a round hole for cans and bottles. Billboards and lid inserts come in multiple colors to further differentiate bins. You can order all components for your recycling station individually, or select from a number of preconfigured kits that include common combinations of recycling options.
Rubbermaid Commercial’s Slim Jim Recycling Station components are tough enough for commercial kitchens, but attractive enough for front of the house placement!

Despite opinions on the issue of gender neutral restrooms and gender identity, operators must find solutions that inform all patrons of what facilities are available, and where they are located. Depending on the operation, simple “His” and “Hers” signs may no longer be sufficient.
Update International, from Crown Brands, has introduced new signage for “All Gender Restrooms.” These are 6”x9” signs with easy, self-adhesive backing. They are professional looking, easy to read, and include Braille to satisfy the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The signs also feature the traditional standard international symbols for “Women” (stick figure in a dress), and “Men” (stick figure in pants) along with a new third international graphic symbol that combines both (stick figure with half a dress and half a pair of pants). These signs will satisfy policy and code requirements, and let your customers know you are aware of the issue, and seeking to accommodate all.
Find this sign and more at Update International’s website.
