Quick Serve Restaurant Trends for 2012

Posted on January 3, 2012 by | Leave a comment

In an unstable economy, it’s tough to predict what the trends are going to be for 2012 – especially in the quick serve restaurant industry. I’m no expert. Luckily for me, other people are experts and they can do a pretty darn well job of predicting quick serve trends for 2012.

• Double-sided menus: Experts predict that double-sided menus will be huge in 2012. This means that customers looking for a different option should be able to find it. Even places like McDonald’s offer oatmeal alongside that ridiculous “Big Breakfast” meal. People wanting healthier options rejoice!

• Small indulgences: Experts predict that consumers will turn to premium sandwiches and other premium items to reward themselves for saving money over the past year. After saving up so much, a small item like a quick serve sandwich won’t seem like such a dent in the wallet.

• New Definitions of Family: Family dynamics shifted greatly over the past few years and restaurants will start reflecting these changes. Quick serve joints will shed their masculine image of more meat and bigger fries and start focusing more on a more family-friendly persona.

• Locally sourced ingredients: slow-food restaurants have been embracing locally sourced ingredients for a few years now and now the quick serve gang is in town. Major quick serve chains like Chipolte and Moe’s Southwest Grill have been reworking menu items in order to get rid of ingredients like high fructose corn syrup and additives.

Rash of Delivery Driver Robberies Has Restaurant Owners on Alert

Posted on January 2, 2012 by | Leave a comment

If your cell phone is your primary phone (and most likely it is) you might be out of luck next time you try to order food. Police say lost of food delivery drivers in metropolitan areas are getting robbed by people using cell phones to target them. Some restaurants are now refusing to deliver to cell phone customers following a rash of robberies in the Chicago area. There are concerns that this crime trend may spread to other areas.

One Chicago area restaurant owner explains how he had a delivery driver shot a few years ago and he’ll take this new rash of delivery driver robberies very seriously. While police aren’t necessarily pushing for restaurant owners to outlaw deliveries to locations called in on cell phones, they are hoping restaurant owners will use their common sense and size up the area and the potential threat it poses.

Police also listed cell phone numbers on the alert to help protect local businesses. A lot of folks don’t have land lines anymore, so if restaurants start refusing cell phones orders, they could lose a lot business. Be careful!

Charbroiler Food Safety and Sanitation Tips

Posted on January 2, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Tabletop charbroilers and other models of charbroilers are the perfect piece of restaurant equipment for smaller kitchens like those you would find in a food truck or deli. They’re great for cooking several kinds of food items including chicken, potatoes, steaks, etc. Despite there being several different kinds of charbroilers, there are some standard food safety and sanitation tips you should follow to make sure your charbroilers has a long, productive life.

Charbroiler performance and optimal cooking results depend on proper cleaning. Products cooked on a charbroiler that exhibit well-defined sear marks (branding) are appealing to customers. During service, grates should be cleaned routinely with a coarse steel brush between product loads. Cooking grates should be routinely dressed with vegetable oil after they are wire brushed to facilitate a clean, non-stick release when the food portion is turned. Poor cooking performance can also occur if the grates are clogged or closed due to grease buildup and improper maintenance.

With those few sanitation and food safety tips, you can have a charbroiler last for several years and keep the hungry customers coming back for more. If you’re in the market for a new or used charbroiler, come into One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment and check out the selection. One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment offers quick cash deals, package deals, and financing on the entire stock of commercial restaurant equipment, including charbroilers!

Take Care of That Charbroiler and It Will Take Care of You

Posted on January 2, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Tabletop charbroilers are a great way to prepare everything from chicken to burgers to potatoes and having one in your restaurant’s chicken can boost your volume greatly. But like with any piece of commercial restaurant equipment, used charbroilers need to be properly maintained to ensure that they remain working properly. Here are some easy and quick tips to help you maintain your charbroiler – no matter what kind of charbroiler model you have. Share them with your friends and family. Or not. It’s entirely up to you.

Exhaust requirements are highly important. In the case of drop-in models, for example, requirements range from 900 to 1,200 cubic feet per minute. Proper ventilation and frequent cleaning are equally important. Water and grease pans need to be emptied at least daily. Radiants should be brushed off daily to remove any food debris. Ceramic briquettes need to be flipped regularly so the heat can clean them. Burners should be inspected for proper combustion. A gas-service technician should b called in to adjust air shutters on burners. If food debis and materials should build up on the unit, this will shorten the charbroiler’s service life and pose a fire hazard.

If you’re in the market for a used charbroiler, come into One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment and check out the selection! One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment offers quick cash and package deals on the entire stock of used commercial restaurant equipment, including used and new charbroilers. If needed, One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment can get you financing for all of the used commercial restaurant equipment you need – including (of course) charbroilers.

All About Condenser Coils

Posted on December 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Every piece of commercial restaurant equipment that cools or freezes uses condenser coils. If you notice that the inside of your reach-in freezer or the drawers in your refrigerated prep table seem a little warm, this means that the unit’s refrigeration system is no longer removing enough heat from the interior. Heat has to pass through condenser coils so the unit can shed the heat. Here are some easy maintenance steps to ensure that your cooling or refrigeration unit runs properly.

It is recommended that you use a nylon bristle brushes that will not harm the delicate aluminum fins found on most cooling and refrigeration units. Damage done to the fins can cause the restriction of air. Low-powered air compressors also can help remove dirt and dust from the refrigeration or cooling unit’s fins.

Try to observe what kind of work goes on around the cooling or refrigeration unit. Also, attach filter media to catch debris before it can clog coils. Be sure to consistently clean the seals, gaskets, and hinges to avoid failure. An easy way to test your door seal and hinge is to place a dollar bill between the seal and door frame. If you can pull the dollar bill free, it’s time to replace the seal adjust door hardware.

Treat That Fryer Like It’s Your Child!

Posted on December 20, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Some of the most popular items at the One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment Super Mega Warehouse in Orlando are used and new fryers! One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment is moving several fryers a week to our clients – I mean, they are a staple anywhere fried foods are served, which is basically everywhere. With this in mind, maintaining your fryer so that it continues to run in reliable shape is very very important. Here’s some quick tips to maintain your fryer, courtesy of One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment.

First and foremost basic maintenance starts with the way your fry cook handles the machine. A messy fry cook will lead to more maintenance headaches. Grease splattered on the fryer can accumulate and attract dirt and grime that over time can be difficult to remove. Be sure your fry cook isn’t dragging the basket or splashing the grease when he drops the basket down. This can prevent future problems.

Make sure you follow the manufacturer’s filtering schedule. If you fall behind on your filtering schedule, which is usually once a day, you’ll see oil performance decline, food quality suffer, and carbon build up in your tank. Some restaurant owners suggest cleaning the fryer at the start of the day. Wipe down the fryer with a dry cloth or rag. Used regularly, a dry cloth can extend the performance life of your fryer.

So if you’re in the market for a used or new fryer for your restaurant, bar, pizzeria, etc., come into One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment and check out the large selection. One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment can get you financed no matter what condition your credit is in! One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment also offer quick cash and package deals on all of the used commercial restaurant equipment – including fryers!

Whats the Hottest Drink in Restaurants Today?

Posted on December 19, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The hot drink in restaurants today is (drum roll, please) tap water. Yes, folks, tap water. Soft drinks and bottled water are losing favor with penny-pinching diners who are looking to save money while eating out. A report from the NDP Group states that orders for revenue-generating drinks have dropped by 2.7 billion servings during the past five years. That’s 2.7 billion glasses of water requested rather than beer or soda.

Still, drinks like coffee and tap water still overtake the number of tap waters ordered. NDP reports that of the 50 billion beverages currently being served at restaurants, water accounts for just 8 percent. Soft drinks and coffee make up 49 percent, while the other percent is made up of iced tea, smoothies, frozen drinks, specialty coffees, etc.

A good way to upsell beverages in your restaurant is to offer specialized drinks and market them as healthy. While the economy stays dismal, consumers are still willing to shell out for a better health.If you’re in the market for a smoothie, espresso, coffee machine, etc., check out the selection at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment! The name of the game is variety!

Good News for the Foodservice & Restaurant Industry

Posted on November 15, 2011 by | Leave a comment

With the economic climate still shaky in the U.S., there’s some good news coming from the world of foodservice and the restaurant industry. Restaurant analysts from Morgan Keegan & Co. Inc. stated recently that consumer sentiment, gas prices, and some job growth should provide those in the foodservice industry with hope – as they explain in their note subtitled “Resilient operating fundamentals provide a reason for hope.” They discuss that recent macro economic data appears to point toward gradual improvement – peaking as consumer sentiment hit a five-month high this past week.

They also explain that many foodservice chains could possibly see a slight benefit in December through February 2012, as the winter is supposed to be less harsh than 2010-2011.

Restaurant analysts Destin Tompkins and Bob Derrington stated that the restaurant industry made it through the third quarter of 2011 reasonably well. 23 restaurant companies reporting quarterly out of 33 documented that they beat expectations.

Seven Restaurant Trends for 2012

Posted on November 8, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Like any other business owner, the head of a restaurant must pay attention to trends and developments in the restaurant landscape. Restaurant News has recently posted seven developments and trends predicted to come in 2012. The research was done by Technomic, the leading foodservice research and consulting firm. You can read the whole article here, and because I love you so much, I’ve provided some highlights below.

The article reports that consumers in 2012 will need some comfort food, but with a twist. Restaurants should still provide old favorites like pizza and sandwiches, but consumers are looking for novel approaches to these standards such as gourmet, artisan, and wood-fired. The article states that consumers will be looking for these kind of items instead of less-familiar dishes.

The article predicts that restaurants will reduce purchases of value-added items and focus on cheaper cuts, beans, and produce that will need more back-of-house preparation to cook into a homestyle meal. The article believes that the produce and other seasonal items will comes from more local sources such as growers, manufacturers, and distributors.

The article also discusses the influence of social networking, customers wanting more information, and discount resistance.

Anecdote of Aggravation; Work Ethics for the Youth

Posted on October 4, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Hey folks, Four Eyed Frog here. If you don’t mind, I’d like to vent for a hot minute. This morning I had some extra time before I had to punch in at One Fat Headquarters, so I ducked into a fast food chain that shall remain nameless. All I wanted was an orange juice – an order that is achingly simple for a place that offers dozens of items and combinations. Just a medium orange juice.

The disinterested young man behind the counter punched in my order, completed the transaction, and then quickly spun around to flirt with a female employee. I understand at fast food joints service is usually handled by three or so employees. So I figured someone else would be handing me my juice any second now. Any. Second. Now.

After nearly a minutes and a half went by (patience is one of a Jedi’s virtues), I called for the kid’s attention. He turned to me and in his rehearsed customer service tone and asked if he could help me with anything. This is where my mind melted and leaked out my ears.

Now, I’m the not most striking bloke on the block, but I like to think it would be at least a little difficult to forget someone with glasses, a big red beard, and colorful tattoos 90 seconds after you engage in business with them. I told him I needed my juice and he started punching it in as a new transaction. I looked around for hidden cameras then composed myself.

Everything worked out in the end but it was a bittersweet glass of orange juice for having to deal with such clumsy service. I’d like to tell all the kids out there working minimum wage jobs, stuck behind a register all day…I’ve been there, man. But your job still matters. As mundane as it is, it still reflects on you’re entire future in the work force. It’ll still shape your work ethics for years to come.  Take it seriously. And give me my orange juice.
