Banyan Tree Macau. Galaxy Macau, China

“With RATIONAL we serve more than 450 plates in only 15 minutes. Every dish looks like the other and quality is excellent. That makes doing banquets really fun.” - Matias Martinez, executive chef

Quality at the highest level.

The Banyan Tree hotel belongs to the leading hotels in Macau and is part of the Galaxy Macau. Its philosophy is based on rejuvenation of the body, mind and soul – a Sanctuary for the Senses. Opened in 2011, it is already well-known for its dining experience that does more than just nourish the body. The customers can choose from two exquisite restaurants, one lounge and one pool bar.

Creative menus that change to reflect the seasons offer a variety of temptations from the finest and freshest of seafood to the new classic grill to Asian specialties in all its splendour. In addition, the grand ballroom that hosts 430 people sets the stage for unforgettable banquets.

The RATIONAL Solution.

The SelfCookingCenter® supports the hotel in preparing Chinese and Western banquets. “We produce the dishes already in advance, prepare the plates on a trolley and finish them – within minutes all plates are ready to serve”, says Matias Martinez, Executive Chef.

For the buffet and à la carte business, the hotel uses RATIONAL units as well. “No matter if we prepare roasting ducks, steaming fish or baking pastries – we always reach the desired result, even if unskilled chefs are operating the unit. It’s so easy, they just need to push one button”, Martinez explains.

RATIONAL supported the staff to integrate the SelfCookingCenter® in their kitchen operation right from the beginning. “They showed us the huge range of Chinese dishes we can prepare in the unit. Our chefs love it, as it means less work for them and the quality even became better”, says the Executive Chef.
