Rising to new heights on the buffet scene
Everyone familiar with hotel buffets will no doubt be familiar with the concept of risers. They are in use on every buffet the world over, in some shape or form, to facilitate both the practicalities and aesthetics of foodservice by adding height and making the most of available serving space.
In the past, buffet risers were a largely passive part of the overall set-up, acting only as foodservice platforms. Until now…
The Market Risers Collection is the latest release from our Wonderbuffet Freestanding line. They are the first buffet risers with built-in heating and cooling functions so that in addition to functioning as eye-catching display platforms and adding height and depth to the buffetscape, they can now be used for cold and warm-holding of dishes.
The range of warming functions includes a variety of electric, induction and wireless options, while the cooling functions are based on eutectic technology which cold holds for up to 5 hours.
Killing two birds with one stone…
Having essentially combined the elements of display and cold/warm-holding, La Tavola has achieved 2 goals. Firstly, and most importantly- economizing on space. How many times have we seen the buffet space divided up into areas of food which doesn’t require cold or warm-holding of any sort (where risers can be used indiscriminately) and the food which does require cold or warm-holding is then relegated to and area of traditional chafers and Bain-Maries where presentation must be compromised due directly to the needs of the food being served?
With La Tavola’s Market Risers, both objectives are achieved in one practical, yet elegant offering. The risers consist of connections and inner structures made of stainless steel dressed externally in attractive and durable High Pressure Laminates (HPL)?, known for their superiority to other materials. HPL? is a high-performing material ideal for the intensive use which is typical in the hotel industry because it’s water proof, durable, easy to clean (simply wipe with a wet cloth), scratch resistant, food safe and highly chip resistant.
So to all you hoteliers out there reading this, give your chefs the freedom to focus on their culinary creativity without having to worry about the decrease of food quality over time! The food is ALWAYS the focal point of the buffet. Being able to display it in a way that is most aesthetically pleasing to the guest is of utmost importance, and with La Tavola’s Market Risers line, cold and warm-holding no longer has to compromise this goal!
