Restaurant Equipment & Supply – Customer Ordering Trends

upArrow2Not all that long ago I was attending industry conventions focusing on how the internet could revolutionize the way restaurants placed their orders and how those orders were processed.  Clearly the internet has come a long way since then!  In some cases the restaurants have moved way faster than equipment & supply dealers, just the other day I ordered a pizza online and tracked it as it was being made, cooked, packaged, and delivered!

The fastest growing trend with our customers is to order on the internet.  The customer logs into their account, selects the products they need, we pull it, pack it, and ship it.  They are not ordering from some “random internet” company that they don’t know, but real people with real connections to their business.  This method  is a simple, yet invaluable tool to help expedite the process while reducing errors.

It’s always great when customers call in their orders and we get to chat about what’s new, of course we love it when someone stops by the store to pick something up…but no doubt about it….Internet ordering is the definitely the trend!

Muddler – Don’t get caught without one!

A few weeks ago I spent some time at a local lake and it was HOT!  I pulled out my handy Ipad, hit the google button, and searched for “refreshing summer drinks”.  To my surprise it seems I’m not the only person in the world looking for a drink on a hot day.  After some clicking I found a great recipe for a Mojito, lucky for me I had my trusty muddler!  All the ingredients were easy enough to find but the drink doesn’t work unless you smash (muddle) the ingredients into the drink.

 

A muddler is used to mash ingredients in drinks and is an essential bar tool.  It looks like a small baseball bat and comes in wood or plastic.  Oswalt Restaurant Supply is a great source for your muddlers and all other bar supplies!

Blodgett – Triple Mounted Heavy Duty Doors!

I was recently worked with a customer that came in looking for a new convection oven.  As we talked about their operation to determine what oven would best suite their needs I found myself taking about the Blodgett Heavy Duty Doors.  They created the strongest door in the industry by triple mounting them directly into the full angle iron frame.  Triple mount construction keeps the doors aligned and tightly sealed saving energy by preventing heat from escaping and the customers dollars from disappearing into thin air!
