Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for maintaining convection heat within a heating region of a griddle and channeling the convection heat therefrom. The griddle includes a ribbing structure along its underside surface in a configuration that cooperates with the burners of a cooking station. Such ribbing structure allows a user to control the convective heating of the griddle as desired and channels the convective heat to a single side of the griddle, away from the user.

Abstract: A computing device receives a request to render an optimized display of selected objects on a user interface. The computing device analyzes a layout associated with the selected objects by determining a category of each of the selected objects, a location of each category within the location, and an optimized route between each category. The computing device analyzes routes to the locations by determining least optimal times associated with each location, a time to arrive and complete the optimized route at each location, and an order to the locations to optimize arrival time at a time other than the least optimal times. The computing device renders an optimized display of the selected objects on the user interface with an optimized route to each location and an optimized display of the selected objects in an order corresponding the the optimized routes between each category within the location layouts.

Abstract: A conveyor-type oven is particularly well suited for cooking food products such as pizza. The oven may comprise a housing defining a baking chamber, and a primary chamber that is positioned beneath the baking chamber, the housing having an opening at each of the two longitudinal ends of the baking chamber. A continuous conveyor belt transports food to be cooked through the baking chamber, and a source of hot air is arranged to introduce hot air into the primary chamber. An upper plenum assembly is disposed in the baking chamber and includes a plurality of orifices from which to discharge hot air downwardly towards the conveyor belt, while a lower plenum assembly is disposed in the baking chamber and includes a plurality of orifices from which to discharge hot air upwardly towards the conveyor belt. Ducting interconnects the primary chamber with the upper and lower plenum assemblies, and one or more fans are operable to transport hot air from the primary chamber through the ducting to the upper and lower plenum assemblies. The conveyor-type oven enables fast, even cooking of food products while maintaining a relatively small floor-space footprint.

Abstract: A method of cooking food, such as fish and vegetables, using steam during a cooking cycle comprises a preheating step where the cavity is heated toward a cooking temperature and a cooking step where the cavity is maintained at the cooking temperature. The preheating step comprises a dry preheating step where no steam is introduced into the cooking cavity and a steam preheating step where steam is introduced into the cavity.

Abstract: Food service equipment comprises a multiple-pass feeder conveyor and toaster which comprises an upper inclined food product infeed conveyor ramp for causing the food products to proceed in a first direction extending from the rear of the appliance toward the front of the appliance and onto the upper run of a first upper endless conveyor. The upper run of the first upper endless conveyor conveys the food products into a semi-circular return product feeder which causes the food products to be conveyed in a second opposite direction extending from the front of the appliance toward the rear of the appliance and into an entry space defined by means of the lower run of the first upper endless conveyor and the upper run of a second lower endless conveyor, the two conveyors being synchronized together. The pair of conveyors convey the food products between heated platens respectively associated with the two conveyors whereby the food products are cooked or toasted. The cooked or toasted food products are discharged onto a lower inclined food product discharge ramp which is disposed substantially parallel to the first inclined food product infeed ramp such that the finished food products are conveyed in a third direction, parallel to the first direction, toward a finished food product platform from which the finished food products may be removed for serving to diners. Additional pairs of conveyors can also be incorporated within the system, in a vertically stacked array, so as to effectively increase the length of travel experienced by the multiple food products without increasing the footprint of the equipment.

Abstract: A conveyor oven having a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation is provided. The conveyor oven generally includes an oven chamber in which food is cooked, a conveyor moveable to convey the food through the oven chamber, a burner to generate heat for the oven chamber, the burner having a combustion airflow rate, at least one blower to circulate air within the oven chamber, and a controller. The blower operates at a first speed during the first mode of operation and at a second speed that is faster than the first speed during the second mode of operation. The controller is responsive to at least one of a burner output and an internal temperature of the oven chamber, and adjusts the combustion airflow rate based in part on at least one of the burner output and the internal temperature of the oven chamber.
