FOODINI LINE

FOODINI LINE — the modular canteen serving system is the foundation of organised self-service or assisted service in large corporate canteens, educational institution dining halls and public catering venues; a properly designed FOODINI LINE system ensures efficient visitor flow, reduces queues and improves both food quality maintenance and staff ergonomics in HoReCa businesses.

FOODINI LINE modular component system

FOODINI LINE — the modular system is assembled from standardised components that correspond to one functional zoning in the serving counter. Hot zone — hot serving counters with bain-maries maintain prepared food at +65°C and above; the module contains one or more bain-maries for GN format containers; the hot zone is the central element of the serving system. Cold zone — cold display cases and cold serving counters maintain salads, desserts, drinks and other chilled food at +2°C–+8°C; see Cold Bain-Maries. Neutral zone — neutral counters hold bread, condiments, dishes and utensils; see Hot Bain-Maries. BHS provides FOODINI LINE.

Canteen flow optimisation with FOODINI LINE

FOODINI LINE — the main goal of the canteen serving system is to ensure efficient visitor flow from the moment of entry to table occupancy; the FOODINI LINE system is designed to minimise queues and opposing movement flows. One-way flow — the serving counter is oriented linearly or in an L-shape; visitors move in one direction, taking food from the counter, and do not disturb others; queue speed depends directly on the length of the serving counter and the number of service points. Tray slides — a tray slide is a horizontal surface along the serving counter where the visitor places a tray, sliding it along the counter; see Tray Slides.

HACCP and hygiene requirements in the FOODINI LINE system

FOODINI LINE — in a HACCP serving counter system, hygiene requirements are particularly important, as food is served openly to a large number of guests; maintaining temperature in the hot and cold zones is critical. Temperature monitoring — the hot zone maintains food at +65°C and above; the cold zone — from +2°C to +8°C; temperature checks are carried out every hour and documented; any deviation from the specified temperatures must be resolved immediately. Barriers between food and guests — serving display cases and counters are often equipped with a glass barrier (sneeze guard) that protects food from guests' breathing and contact; see Serving Display Case.

HoReCa application scenarios for the FOODINI LINE system

Corporate canteen with the FOODINI LINE system — in a large company’s corporate canteen, FOODINI LINE ensures efficient lunch service for 200–1000 employees; the system supports multiple serving counters in parallel to prevent queues during peak hours; BHS provides a full system design. School canteen — in a school canteen, the FOODINI LINE system is configured with simple movement logic and a sufficiently wide tray slide for children; a stationary system facilitates supervision and work organisation. University cafeteria — in a university canteen with high throughput, the FOODINI LINE configuration with multiple parallel counters ensures fast service; see Module System Installation, Drawings. BHS offers FOODINI LINE to HoReCa businesses in Europe.
