“Digitalisation is becoming increasingly important in our industry. First and foremost, it is an opportunity to overcome the growing shortage of skilled personnel. Highly automated appliances make a major contribution to reducing the kitchen team’s workload. This is obviously a consideration in the development of new products, and today’s new appliances have innovative connected kitchen features and support functions for managed, automated cooking.” Anja Halbauer, Marketing & PR Manager, Maschinenfabrik Kurt Neubauer GmbH & Co. KG.

“The challenges facing restaurants and catering companies today will result in future kitchens having to be far more efficiently structured. Process standardisation will be an important factor in that process. It will be facilitated by the digital transformation in the form of digital services. Automation will be another important element in the kitchen of the future thanks to technological advancements in kitchen equipment. Multifunctional appliances will play a key role.” Christian Frieß, Marketing and Communication Director Germany, Austria and Switzerland at RATIONAL AG.
