AFE Targets Casinos, Schools With Feature-Rich Products
|
AGA Foodservice Equipment brands are now targeting two distinctly different markets: casinos and schools/universities. While every operator now cares about issues such as energy efficiency, food safety, reliability and productivity, the differing natures of casinos and educational institutions result in each tending to place especially high importance on different product features and benefits.
For those in charge of school foodservice operations, for example, one area of growing importance is the healthful production of food. According to Mark Whalen, president of AFE (as well as of its Victory Refrigeration brand), Stellar Steam and Eloma combi ovens are well positioned to address this concern through their steam-cooking capabilities.

Victory's Reliability, Full Product Portfolio Appeal To Schools
The U.S. lower and higher education foodservice market is one that has grown steadily over the past 50 years. The construction of new schools, an ongoing increase in the number of young people enrolling in college and the demand for more commercial-style dining venues on university and K-12 campuses continues to drive this growth.
While the majority of Aga Foodservice Equipment brands are working to establish themselves and build name recognition within the school and university market, Victory Refrigeration already enjoys the position of a well-known and widely installed manufacturer.

Stellar's And Eloma's Boilerless Designs Provide Reliability, High Output
If there is one thing that distinguishes casino foodservice operations from most others it is the constant, high demand staff place on their equipment. Most casinos offer buffets and other foodservices that operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while their catering operations are regularly asked to serve thousands of people at once.
The unrelenting demand casino foodservices place on their equipment makes reliability a top priority. Simply put, there is next to no time when a casino's kitchen can be closed and faulty equipment serviced without disrupting the rest of the operation. These realities make Stellar steamers and Eloma combi ovens natural fits for gaming industry foodservice operations, according to Mitch Cohen, vice president of cooking system sales for Stellar and Eloma, as well as Infinity Fryers.
