Future Perfect
PREMIUM SPACE
Technology is also influencing the size and
sophistication of the equipment being
designed, manufactured and installed.
Kitchens have downsized, but even where
they haven’t, space is always of a premium.
Every last square inch has to be catered for.
What does the kitchen of the future look like?
The answer is that it will look significantly
different from the kitchen of today, as
manufacturers and operators look to take
advantage of new control technologies, IoT
and Cloud capabilities.
But whereas the latest tech will capture
the headlines and the sector’s imagination,
many of the ‘traditional’ challenges refuse to
disappear. Labour shortages, kitchen space,
and the need to do more with less remain
perennial problems for which the industry is
seeking innovative solutions.
CONNECTED EQUIPMENT
Much of the new generation of kitchen
equipment coming to the market today
is ‘connected’ in the sense that it takes
maximum advantage of Bluetooth and WiFi
communication networks to enable greater
control.
This allows the equipment to self-diagnose
and remotely send alerts to an operator’s
mobile or smart device when, for example, the
oil needs changing in the fryer, the chicken
needs taking off the rotisserie or a freezer unit
is not maintaining the correct temperature.
This not only ensures the maximum ‘up-time’
and productivity of the equipment installed,
but also identifies an early problem that could,
potentially, develop into a more serious and
costly crisis. ‘
Smarter’ equipment is also helping overcome
the labour challenge. Control panels that
make maximum use of instantly-identifiable
imagery and simple, step-by-step instructions
make it easier for less skilled or international
(i.e non-English speaking) workers to operate,
regardless of the equipment type.

Advances in engineering have driven
designers to find new space-saving solutions,
which in turn has led to the development of
multi-cook ovens (such as the new Vector
series from Alto-Shaam) that can cook
up to four items all at once, at different
temperatures, fan speeds and ready at
different times. It has also seen the evolution
of space-saving display cabinets and warmers,
portable and compact food preparation tables,
and miniature pizza ovens.
The times, as a famous songwriter once
penned, are ‘a changing’ but what never
changes is the equipment manufacturers’
endeavours to rise to the next challenge they
face.
