Prep efficiency plays a major role in controlling labor costs, maintaining food quality, and driving overall profitability in commercial kitchens. While frozen fries offer convenience, more operators are returning to in-house fry preparation to gain greater control over consistency, costs, and freshness.

With the introduction of the Edlund High-Output French Fry Cutter, kitchens can now produce fresh-cut fries faster than ever, without adding labor strain or slowing production.

Designed for continuous-duty performance, this powerful solution helps operators streamline prep while delivering consistent results every time.

Wine programs have become a major part of the modern restaurant experience. From neighborhood bistros to fine dining rooms, guests are paying closer attention not just to what they're drinking, but how it's served.

At Sam Tell, we work with operators every day to select glassware that supports their beverage programs while holding up to the demands of high-volume service.  Here's a simple guide to choosing the right wine glass for different pours.
