PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Roy Rogers Restaurants, a western-themed quick-service restaurant based in Frederick, Md., has relied on Hobart slicers for decades. Launched more than 50 years ago, Roy Rogers operates 52 corporate and franchised stores. Each store depends on a Hobart HS7N automatic slicer, positioned at the center of the front-of-house production counter. Employees use it to slice to-order hot, slow-roasted, top (inside) round USDA Choice beef (as opposed to a pressed meat product used by the chain’s competitors) for one of Roy Rogers’ signature sandwiches. They also use it to slice premium Smithfield ham for breakfast sandwich and platter offerings and for another signature entrée, the Double R Bar Burger. Employees serve the ¼-lb. burger on a Kaiser roll with a slice of American cheese and top it with sliced and seared Smithfield ham. Al Jones, Director of Operations for Roy Rogers, appreciates the slicer’s dependability and safety features. “We used to spec two slicers per store and we were looking to reduce equipment costs,” notes Jones, who joined the company in 1979. “Hobart slicers are very reliable. It could be a problem if that one slicer were to fail, but it’s not. The availability of parts and service is very strong.” As for safety features, Jones points to the zero-knife exposure—the knife edge is not exposed during cleaning or sharpening. It has an effective sharpening system, too. Employees sharpen the slicer’s 13-in. knife every day, because a sharp knife plays a critical part in producing the correct slice of roast beef and ham. Jones adds, “Borazon stones have a lifetime guarantee, so we never have to replace them.”

DUST NOT IN THE WIND
This dust containment bag provides a simple method for cleaning refrigerator/freezer condenser coils, which helps the units run more efficiently, but without spreading particulates through the kitchen area. The bag fully envelopes the condenser coil unit, and 2 ports allow for insertion of a compressed-air hose and a vacuum hose. Air goes in, dust comes out. Regular cleaning in this manner can save hundreds of dollars per year in electrical costs.
