In foodservice, water issues show up as equipment breakdowns, inconsistent beverages, bad taste and costly maintenance.
For global QSR and multi-chain foodservice operations, standardizing water quality across every location ensures consistency, protects equipment and elevates the entire beverage program.
In the current competitive beverage market landscape, water quality directly impacts taste and brand experience!
Consider this example: coffee is over 98% water. From coffee and tea to fountain beverages and dirty sodas, the quality of your water defines the quality of every cup. A consistent, optimized water profile ensures your beverages taste the same no matter the location.
Beyond taste, water plays a vital role in protecting high-value equipment. Ice machines, steamers and espresso systems are highly susceptible to scale buildup and contaminants. Without proper filtration, operators face increased downtime, expensive repairs and shortened equipment life.
That’s where Antunes delivers.
Antunes is the complete water solution for your commercial kitchen!

Water Treatment Built for Foodservice
Operators use this to solve: Inconsistent water quality across locations that results in brand inconsistency by delivering standardized, high-quality filtered water for every application across your entire store.
Flow Totalizer
Operators use this to solve: Unpredictable maintenance timing and high service costs by tracking water usage and ensuring cartridge changes happen exactly when needed.
Operators use this to solve: High TDS levels that lead to poor-tasting coffee and inconsistent beverages across locations by removing dissolved solids and creating a consistent water profile.
Operators use this to solve: Scale formation that creates big issues for ice machines and frequent maintenance by preventing limescale buildup and keeping equipment running efficiently.
TAC (Template Assisted Crystallization)
Operators use this to solve: Coffee and tea machine scaling that leads to brewing inconsistency and costly equipment damage by preventing scale without chemicals to maintain optimal performance.
Operators use this to solve: Hard water causing scale buildup, equipment wear and inconsistent taste by reducing hardness minerals which protects both beverage quality and equipment life.
