Server Holds Prices Through 2013!

The title of this post is rather notable news for any business. What’s remarkable is Server’s last price increase was on January 1, 2011! If you’re an avid shopper, you might consider this the sale of the century. When was the last time you bought something priced three years back?

While that soaks in, I’d like to share how Server was able to hold prices for three straight years. You can rest assured a reduction in quality or service was not how inflation was battled. Each and every employee worked (and continues to work) very hard to stay competitive —there’s a lot of pride here.

Other notables include:

• Server continues to manufacture in the USA — Richfield, Wisconsin to be exact.
• A second shift in Production was added to utilize equipment for more hours, reduce overhead and overtime costs and best of all improve lead times.
• About 18 months ago, several product lines were streamlined to eliminate unnecessary redundancies. Remember the Fudge, Carmel and Cheese Warmers with a forward facing spout warmer, backward facing spout warmer, without a spout warmer and without a pump for ladling? There was a version with no signs too. This change alone took 16 models down to 1.

The rest is insider information, but you get the point. Server remains dedicated to helping operators Serve Better by offering market driven solutions to everyday challenges and delivering quality products supported with great customer service.

Happy Holidays!

There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.

It’s almost Black Friday, the busiest time of the year for retailers and restaurants alike. After bargains, Black Friday shoppers’ thoughts turn to food, which brings in a lot of extra foot traffic for many of you. In all this excitement let’s not forget the preceding event of giving thanks.

Within our family and social circle it’s natural to take the time to show gratitude. Applying this to our workplace tends to get neglected when fixated on day to day responsibilities. Within the Marketing Team at Server Products we have a lot to give thanks for. As we “celebrate a successful harvest” this year we are thankful for our venders who support us and partner to make us stronger and smarter. We’re thankful for the work our agency did on our new logo and branding as well as the software team that helped with our website redesign this year.

We give thanks to our representatives and dealer network who work tirelessly with our customers. We appreciate how you’re able to share in our mission to help operators “Serve Better” and make a difference in the industry.

From within, we’re thankful for leadership support, along with those who foster lasting relationships, design innovative products, fulfill unpredictable equipment orders and provide superior support. Without you Server’s success would be quite limited.

Finally, thank you to our customers. Many of you have been with us for a long time and we are extremely grateful for your loyalty and partnership. For those of you who are newer we are grateful for your trust and your business.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Optimizing Space In Commercial Kitchens

One of the many challenges that restaurant operators must deal with is managing space limitations in the kitchen. When commercial kitchens are initially designed, considerations are made to optimize the available space to insure operational efficiency. In the course of business, menus evolve, limited-time-offers are introduced and new equipment is brought in to support new offerings. The new equipment that is brought in will hopefully fit seamlessly in the existing space. Equipment manufacturers such as Server Products design equipment to have a small footprint and are customizable to make the most of available space. Some examples of space-saving equipment for the commercial kitchen are highlighted below:  

IntelliServ 1/3-Size Warmer

IntelliServ™ 1/3-Size Pan Warmer

Perfect solution to warming sauces, soups or toppings using minimal counter space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2/3-Width Pumps, Jars & Lids

Topping Rails with 2/3-Width Components

Expands the amount of toppings you offer in the same space. Retrofit an existing bar or rail to offer six toppings in the same space that you were originally offering four.

 

  

Wall-Mounted Topping Station

Wall-Mounted Topping Stations 

Utilize open wall space above a counter and give your dessert program an upgrade. Wall-mounted components allow you to display, dispense dry foods and ladle toppings from clear jars to quickly portion ingredients.

Countertop Chiller

Countertop Chillers

Perfect for cooling condiments, garnishes or dairy where you need it and using as little countertop space as possible.
