The daily motivation.
Discount stores, online ordering service, organic shops and weekly markets – the classic supermarket business is coming under pressure from all sides. The order of the day: a unique selling point. New ideas, concepts and offers. Which are future-oriented. Which increase the length of stay. Which are diverse. Raising expectations, meeting expectations. With a bistro, with street food, with hot food counters. For eating on the go, for lunch, to take home. Reliable consistent quality. At restaurant level. Even if you are not a chef. Even if skilled staff is a scarce commodity. To help assist, there is an expert partner, RATIONAL.
Golden brown, crisp and succulent grilled chicken – the king of takeaway dishes. Now prepared in half the time*. Thanks to iDensityControl, the intelligent climate management. Thanks to iCookingSuite, which knows the way to the desired result. Thanks to the iProductionManager, with which you always have enough fresh goods on display. But no over-production. What works with chicken, also works with roast lamb, roast pork and meatloaf. Also with iZoneControl in the iVario Pro, you can divide one pan base into up to four zones. To allow you to cook different foods at different temperatures at the same time.

With the iCombi Pro, you can always serve your dishes to the same quality. Without any effort or trained staff. The cooking system has what are called shopping carts, which contain the dishes that can be cooked together based on the elements of your food concept. Tap the shopping cart required for production, e.g. “Week 32 menu”, on the display, drag the foods to the rack, load the iCombi Pro and the cooking system will start.
iZoneControl
When you need reliability, speed and efficiency. Simply divide the pan base of the iVario into up to four zones, and you can choose the size, position and shape as you want. You can now cook the same or different foods in a single pan. Simultaneously or on a time delay, at the same or a different temperature. Without monitoring and without additional kitchen equipment.
The first rush of the morning is over, time for restocking. The challenge; not too much, not too little, to ensure that it is all fresh in the display. It is time for treats such as cookies, muffins, wraps and sandwiches. As this demands organisational talent. As this demands the iProductionManager. Which tells you what you can cook together and suggests the time or energy-optimised order. Frozen goods, fresh dough, small pastries, large pastries, one or more trays – none of it a problem. Start the usual cooking path, done. For standardised restocking, for delicious mixed loads. Even in front cooking areas. This is because the iCombi Pro has its own exhaust hood, which eliminates the need for an extraction system.
Keep a cool head when things heat up. When food variety is demanded in large quantities. Or if food is produced in a central production kitchen and distributed to your customers. Such as with cook & chill: Because you can prepare your hot dish elements in the iCombi Pro or iVario Pro, quickly chill them and store them. This means you can prepare and produce additional food in advance. As you bring the required foods to serving temperature. As you produce your own convenience line for the cold food counter. As you can replenish foods. Very quickly, very simply. This preserves the flavour, vitamins, colour and texture of the food.
Finishing process
Container finishing is particularly suited to large quantities, such as for hot food counters. Place the pre-produced food in the iCombi Pro on demand and bring it to the right temperature at the push of a button. This means you always have the right quantity of food freshly prepared. Reduced food waste. Completed with simplicity and certainty, Even with convenience products.
A hygienic interim clean in approx. 12 minutes or a brilliant clean, even overnight, with iCareSystem in the iCombi Pro. Very simple and safe with the phosphate-free cleaner tabs. With a cleaning program that remembers your preferences and automatically starts your desired program the next time. The iVario Pro can even manage without a cleaning program, because it can be completely wiped down in 2 minutes. To keep the space below and next to the cooking systems hygienic, there are different setup variations that will make cleaning easy.
