Boost Efficiency This Fall: High-Volume Cooking with Energy and Labor Savings in Mind
The fall rush is here across metro Atlanta and Lawrenceville. From Helen Oktoberfest running through October to the Atlanta Greek Festival and Lawrenceville Harvest Festival, October brings a surge in catering demand. Fall weddings take advantage of Georgia’s beautiful autumn weather. Restaurants and caterers are facing their busiest season. Kitchens are under pressure to serve large groups quickly while managing tighter labor markets and rising energy costs.
At Owens Equipment Company in Lawrenceville, Georgia, we have been the go-to foodservice partner for over 40 years. We understand the challenges restaurants, caterers, schools, and healthcare facilities face during this high-volume season. The key to success is doing more with less. You need equipment that handles high volume, saves on utility bills, and reduces staff effort.
Cooking Smarter, Not Harder
High-volume cooking does not mean working harder. It means working smarter with the right equipment. Modern ovens from Blodgett, Convotherm, and Unox allow you to bake and roast multiple menu items simultaneously. These ovens reduce cook times significantly. They also improve consistency across every dish you serve.
For catering operations serving Oktoberfest crowds or fall wedding receptions, these ovens handle everything from roasted vegetables to protein dishes. One operator can manage multiple racks at once. This means fewer staff members are needed in the kitchen. Moreover, advanced heat distribution ensures even cooking throughout every cycle.
NuVu proofing and holding cabinets maintain quality during event service. These cabinets prevent waste by keeping food at optimal temperatures. Your staff can prepare dishes in advance without sacrificing quality. This capability is essential when serving large groups on tight timelines.
Steam Power for Volume Production
Cleveland and Crown Steam large-batch steamers revolutionize high-volume cooking. These steamers excel at preparing soups, vegetables, and proteins for hundreds of guests. Steam cooking preserves nutrients and flavors while reducing cooking time compared to traditional methods.
The labor savings are remarkable. One staff member can prep what used to require several employees. This efficiency is crucial during the fall rush when finding qualified kitchen staff becomes challenging. Steam equipment also uses less energy than conventional cooking methods, reducing your utility costs during peak season.
Transport and Service Efficiency
Lakeside carts and mobile stations streamline catering service operations. These solutions reduce physical strain on your staff during events. Mobile equipment allows your team to set up efficient service stations anywhere. This flexibility improves service speed at weddings, corporate events, and festivals.
Transport carts keep food at proper temperatures during transport. Your catering team can deliver professional service without compromising food safety or quality. These solutions pay for themselves through improved efficiency and reduced labor needs.
Energy Efficiency Equals Cost Savings
Modern ovens and steamers use significantly less energy while handling more volume. This efficiency matters when your kitchen runs at full capacity throughout October and November. Energy-efficient equipment pays off long-term through reduced utility bills.
