READER PICKS » Banquet Cart Evolution
James Katurakes, executive chef for Levy Restaurants, which runs
foodservice operations at the Orlando Orange County Convention
Center, uses the A la Cart Multi Tech Hotel Banquet System. A la
Cart Hotel Banquet Carts significantly enhance the moistness, quality,
and consistency of meals-in an operation that serves as many
as 300 banquets per day.
Chef K explains that "Multi Tech
Banquet Carts complement my
advanced prep and yield a better end
product to the customer." Food can be
prepared and chilled for one or more
banquet meals in advance, enhancing
convenience and labor efficiency.
Additionally, Chef K has total control
using the A la cart Temp Watch system-
a wireless temperature management
program for automatic monitoring
of HACCP/ temperature compliance and
record-keeping. "I can monitor individual function temperatures
across the building from my computer to ensure high sanitation standards,"
he says.
Banquet plating can be laborious and inconsistent, especially when
multiple functions are operating, but the Multi Tech Hotel Banquet Carts
let Chef K control presentation at the prep level and streamline labor in
the advanced stages, significantly reducing labor costs.
The 23 Multi Tech Banquet Carts at the convention center can
be programmed to retherm at the proper time and this, according to Chef K, "focuses my priorities from function to function without anxiety on the next plate-out."
