Menu Inspiration from Versatile Equipment

You are here: Home / Articles / Menu Inspiration from Versatile Equipment
April 17, 2019

Sometimes kitchen equipment is selected in order to prepare a specific menu item. Other times, the equipment itself can serve as an inspiration to create exciting limited time offers or expand existing menus in new directions.

As discussed in a previous article on menu expansion, as the equipment packages for franchisees get bigger (and more expensive), operations are also more sensitive to purchasing a single purpose piece of equipment. Instead, they typically start by seeing what they can do to use existing equipment in an innovative way. If a new piece of equipment does need to be purchased, operations are looking for versatility that can potentially handle other menu items in the future.

Antunes’ portfolio of equipment can help address menu expansions for cuisines of all kinds. We are able to showcase these versatile products when we meet with customers and prospects ― such as at industry tradeshows.

Below is the menu that Corporate Executive Chef Joe Arvin demonstrated at the most recent NAFEM Show. Using steamers, toasters and egg stations, Antunes equipment brought these menu items to life.
