Effortlessly Introduce a Food Bowl Program with Reliable Equipment

With more consumers focused on health and wellness, high-quality, healthy food at a convenience is on the rise. But how do you maximize flavor while delivering a quick and healthy dining option? The food bowl is the modern solution to pack a number of nutrients in a convenient meal option for health-focused, on-the-go customers. 

The nutritional value and versatility of the food bowl are the key ingredients to its growing popularity. The highly customizable nature allows customers to tailor the bowl to their liking – whether it’s gluten-free, vegetarian, or meat-based – for a flavorful dish packed with fiber, vitamins and minerals. Composed of protein, vegetables, and starches and often topped with a sauce, this dish is adaptable across many international cuisines, including Middle Eastern, Mexican, or Hawaiian inspired fare. 

Many fast casual and quick service restaurants have integrated food bowls into their menus to accommodate this rising food trend, and seasoned restaurateurs may be questioning how to do the same. Whether you want to create your own bowl restaurant or build your bowl menu, we will outline some pro tips to help you transition effortlessly into this profitable and popular food trend.

Save Labor

With so many ingredients in a food bowl, keeping everything warm, flavorful, and ready to go can present a challenge. Labor-free cooking and holding equipment can help you reallocate kitchen workflows efficiently. Alto-Shaam’s Halo Heat® technology delivers gentle, even heat with precision, so you can be rest assured that your ingredients will maintain their taste and quality. Through low-temperature overnight cooking, you can prepare ingredients in advance, freeing up kitchen workflows during the day and utilizing lights-out, labor-free cooking and holding at night. Your needs will vary depending on the size of your operation, so our commercial warming ovens, commercial warming trays, food warming cabinets, and commercial plate warmers come in a wide variety of sizes and styles, adaptable to your needs.

In addition to their versatility and nutritional benefits, the aesthetic appeal of food bowls makes them an enticing menu option. Your staff can focus on assembling a beautiful bowl while our Prodigi™ combi ovens prepare the next batch of ingredients with flawless precision and greater reliability.
