Counterline brings to the market a stylish range of dual-purpose heated & chilled display units.
The 2018 Queen’s Award Winners have risen to the challenge of food service operators wanting to maximise fresh food opportunities.
Counterline’s challenge was to create a solution that would support varied menus stretching from breakfast to evening meal, covering the recognised lunch time and take-away snacks in between.
Counterline Director, Paul Purslow, emphasised that whenever consideration is given to a product development or a simple customisation of our standard equipment, the key business principle of efficiency for operator & energy is followed.
The concept of Counterline’s dual-purpose heated and chilled display units, which allow for self-help and assisted service food offerings, was initially introduced in Northern Ireland in collaboration with Stephens Catering.
Danny Scobie, Food To Go Operations Manager at Scotmid Co-operative, said: “The reason we have chosen this unit for our business is the flexibility it provides for our wide offer and concepts. Allowing us to move quickly from served to self-serve depending on the day’s offering whilst efficiently keeping all products hot without impacting the oven fresh quality.”
The seamless design that allows an operator to instantly switch from self-service to assisted service was highlighted by Counterline’s global partners as an innovation that will also support operators as they negotiate their businesses in the time of Covid-19. Its inclusion has since formed a critical part of key infrastructure projects across Asia and the Middle East.
