With the pandemic now in the rearview mirror, buffets, salad bars, and other self-service options are making a comeback. At the same time, diners are now demanding a higher level of food safety from their favourite restaurants.
Sneeze guards have become a mainstay in both self-serve and full-service operations. Hatco’s Flav-R-Shield® line of sneeze guards comes in a wide variety of configurations, including one-, two- or three-sided and fixed or portable models.
A recent addition to Hatco’s lineup is the versatile ORBIT Flav-R-Shield® line of sneeze guards that can easily convert from self- to full-style service in response to changing health regulations.
The ALLIN1 is a convenient portable system for self-service applications for buffet lines and serving stations, while the EP11 for stationary systems is an ideal fit for full-service buffet and serving station applications.
Sneeze guards are only part of the food safety equation. “Frost tops, hot and cold shelving, and drop-in wells are all components that can deliver that extra level of safety and sanitation,” says Stuart Sharp, Dealer Sales Manager for Hatco Corporation.
A key factor when selecting a solution is versatility, from configurations to temperature control to lighting, he adds. “In some cases, an operator may want shelving and well systems that can move from hot to cold throughout the day while ensuring food temperatures remain within the safety standards. Different lighting also comes into play in hot and cold environments.”
From locker systems to induction offerings to sneeze guards, Hatco offers a full range of scalable solutions that optimize food safety and operational efficiency. Visit www.hatcocorp.com to learn more.
