INDUSTRY OPINION: Flexibility reigns supreme with front-of-house hotel equipment

The UK’s original industry rep group, Pro Foodservice Reps (PFR) works with best-in-class manufacturers to offer a varied and unrivalled portfolio of products from bar equipment to panini grills. Here, sales director, Ross Gibson, explores some of the secrets to specifying front-of-house equipment into hotels…

The biggest challenge for hotel operators when it comes to investing in catering and kitchen hotel equipment is that they have so many different areas, applications and catering occasions across a hotel operation.

From the breakfast buffet and bar operation, to the a-la-carte restaurant, room service, banqueting and even corporate break-out sessions, the food and drink service across a busy hotel is incredibly varied.

It’s virtually impossible to get specific equipment for each individual function. And, in the same way that operators have to be clever with multi-functional menu items to drive efficiencies, the same approach can be applied to foodservice equipment, too. We work closely with hotel operators and our dealer partners to make sure they have the best possible equipment to meet their individual needs.
