Hot-holding experts to exhibit new service at global hospitality show

Hot-holding manufacturer Flexeserve will showcase its new cloud-based service, Connect, at a major international exhibition from today.

The Queen’s Award-winning firm is bringing its team of food-to-go experts to Hall 2 at HostMilano, in Milan Italy, until 17 October.

The global exhibition is dedicated to the food service and hospitality sectors.

Flexeserve says launching Connect at the show will enable operators to see their “hot food operation like never before” – helping them sell more and waste less at every location.

The team will be supported on the stand by international distributors Pentagast (DACH region), Equip’d (Canada) and Meris Food Equipment (Australia).

Flexeserve’s director of Customer Experience Warwick Wakefield, said: “We’re hugely excited to be returning to HostMilano with innovative, brand-new products that will transform hot food programmes for supermarkets, forecourts and convenience stores, cafés and bakeries, quickservice restaurants and more.

“We’ll demonstrate how our equipment and expertise can solve their hot food pain points and help them achieve incredible sustainability and profitability.”

The new cloud-based service enables operators to maximise the benefits of hot-holding and achieve total operational efficiency across entire estates.

With the ability to remotely access and automate hot-holding units, Connect allows you to set shelf temperatures, schedule dayparts and track product shelf-life – maximising sustainability, food quality and profitability.

Flexeserve will also be exhibiting its latest heated display, Flexeserve Zone Xtra.

Ideal for grab and go, Xtra enables operators to display 60 per cent more incredible hot food and enhance its visibility with premium accessories – all within the same footprint and power supply as the Flexeserve Zone 2 Tier Countertop.

With Xtra’s two multi-temp zones, capable of hot-holding products with different temperature requirements in the same unit, operators can achieve new levels of energy efficiency, selling more while cooking less often with a wider range of products across all dayparts, from breakfast sandwiches and warm bakery to sweet treats, pizza and fries.

Also at the show will also be the new Flexeserve Zone 4 Tier Rear Feed, providing easy restocking directly from back-of-house.

Helping busy store teams reach new levels of efficiency, the new 4 Tier model is perfect for supermarket rotisseries, breakfast items, lunch-on-the-go and more.

Warwick concluded: “Only Flexeserve equipment and expertise can help you serve an incredible range of fresh-tasting hot food whilst reducing energy usage, food waste and demands on busy kitchens.

“We can’t wait to show operators how they can maximise the benefits of true hot-holding and achieve what they never thought possible.”
