Three Game-Changing Food Service Innovations for National Food Day
Yesterday was National Food Day so we’re shining the spotlight on three new innovative solutions in food warming systems, safe wrapped cutlery, and environmentally friendly food packaging.
The Sterno SpeedHeat Flameless Food Warming System
This revolutionary product is an instant, flameless food warming system that makes quick-serve, drop off catering safer, simpler and faster! This product is ideal for business lunches, corporate meetings and home parties. Ideal for dining events lasting under 1-hour, this system utilizes a non-toxic flameless heat pack which when mixed with warm water allows you to set-up and serve warm meals in minutes.
How It Works
Step 1 – Open the SpeedHeat packets and place one in each tray reservoir
Step 2 – Fill each reservoir to the top with warm water
Step 3 – The packets will activate within 60 seconds and half trays can be added to each side
When finished, packets can be discarded with meal scraps and the tray can be recycled. Check out more information on the Sterno SpeedHeat system by clicking here, or by watching the video below. SpeedHeat is available for purchase now through JMART by searching item# 70332S.
The Dixie Ultra® SmartStock® Wrapped Cutlery System
An innovative take on wrapped cutlery, this System helps reduce cost, increase food safety and increase efficiency. Wrapped only at the critical end, the cutlery uses 60% less wrap than fully wrapped cutlery, reducing waste and cross contamination. One-at-a-time dispensing helps reduce total usage and its compact size can help reduce storage needs by approximately 40%. Each unit pairs together seamlessly depending on your needs and contains an indicator which switches from green to yellow to red as the need increases for a refill. The pre-loaded cutlery skewers reduce leading time as well. It’s no wonder this system is preferred by 88% of fast food patrons over open bins of wrapped cutlery.
The complete system is available for purchase through JMART now utilizing the following Item#s:
- Dispenser – SSW3D85
- Fork Refill – SSWPF5
- Knife Refill – SSWPK5
- Spoon Refill – SSWPT5
