Issues to Consider with Automated Cooking Equipment
The condition of automated cooking equipment and its surrounding facilities varies depending on the model, installation environment, and store operations. The examples below are intended to help organize the situation when consulting us. If there is a safety risk, follow your store or facility's safety procedures before doing any work or taking photos.
I want to review staffing and cooking processes
We will review the menus to be covered, serving volume during peak hours, existing processes, and quality control methods. This does not guarantee the expected results; site conditions must be checked before installation.
Installation and kitchen layout
We compare equipment dimensions, delivery routes, power supply, water supply and drainage, exhaust, heat sources, and surrounding workspace against the manufacturer’s specifications.
Allocation of cleaning, training, and maintenance responsibilities
Define the roles of the store, head office, and manufacturer for daily cleaning, removable parts, staff training, and whom to contact in the event of a breakdown.
BEFORE CONSULTATION / 02
Please provide whatever information you can before your consultation.
Please tell us what you know about the target menu items, serving volumes, peak hours, and cooking processes for your automated cooking equipment. If an on-site inspection or additional materials are needed, we will advise you after learning more about your situation.
- Menus to be covered, serving volume, peak hours, and cooking processes
- Proposed installation location, dimensions, power, water supply and drainage, and exhaust
- Planned routine cleaning, disassembly cleaning, and maintenance
- Equipment under consideration, desired installation timing, and store and head office contacts
The scope of equipment sales, guarantees for recipes or food quality, system integration, and installation and maintenance contracts varies by manufacturer and contracting party. When you consult us, we’ll confirm the division of responsibilities and the point of contact after implementation.
We’ll advise you on whether work on “Automated Cooking Equipment” is possible, as well as the method, schedule, and cost, after reviewing the equipment’s condition and the requirements of the store, region, contract, and facility.
QUESTIONS / 03
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we discuss installing the same equipment across multiple locations?
We can discuss your needs. We’ll review the locations, menu, kitchen conditions, and planned installation date, and confirm both the requirements shared across locations and any location-specific differences. Whether installation can take place at all locations at the same time must be confirmed on a case-by-case basis.
Does this include equipment cleaning and staff training?
This varies depending on the equipment, contract, and service arrangements. When considering implementation, confirm who will perform and pay for routine cleaning, deep cleaning, training, and manufacturer maintenance.
