Cubic Display System

Fusing modern elegance with unparalleled flexibility, Vollrath’s Cubic Display System provides adaptable, streamlined solutions for buffets, banquets, chef stations and catering events. Portable and lightweight, Cubic collections and components can be mixed and matched to create eye-catching displays that suit creative and practical needs. Its sleek components are designed to integrate with each other and include melamine bowls, pedestals, trays, beverage dispensers, cutting boards, platters and more. The system also accommodates standard size steam table pans on applicable products. With many stackable options, the Cubic collection saves valuable storage space when not in use and is quick to assemble for fast buffet setup and takedown.

Cubic’s modular components allow height and visibility to be added in both linear and L-shaped setups—maximizing the serving area with additional vertical space in the same footprint. Everything slides easily into place and provides a stable, reliable framework for heavy items. The customized configurations ensure that serveware stays securely in place, while the black color and clean lines allow guests to focus on the food, rather than the display system. The intuitive use of space leaves room for decorative elements and garnishes. Eliminating clutter and distracting elements, the seamless elegance of Cubic creates personalized food service setups for every market.

Stoelting Autovend

The Stoelting Autovend offers frozen soft serve from a vending machine that can be operated independently 24/7. It is ideal for retail environments including colleges, convenience stores, transportation venues, health care facilities, business and industry locations and much more. Requiring only 18 square-feet of retail space, the Autovend generates revenue with a significantly lower investment in floor space, operations and staffing. It can be customized with branding of the operator’s choice.

Plug-and-play ready, the system is operator programmable and includes a robust reporting interface dashboard capable of connecting and monitoring the machine through Wi-Fi or cellular 3G/4G at any time. The Autovend will dispense 154 servings before a refill is needed, so operators are not required to be with the machine while it is operating. The customizable reporting interface features real-time product inventory management for operators, including amount of product sold, trends and historical data versus real-time information, along with monitoring product temperatures and maintenance frequencies. The dashboard’s optional service management component is capable of sending instant email notifications if a problem is detected and can automatically dispatch technicians through a specific service channel.
