Oil Management Comes Standard

While the competition relies on costly add-ons for oil filtration and top-off, Henny Penny’s Evolution Elite comes standard with truly built-in innovation. See why our reduced oil capacity fryers are helping operators save oil, time and money.

  • Use 40% Less Oil: With just 30 pounds of oil per vat, you can prepare the same amount of food as with fryers that use nearly twice as much oil. Not only can you drastically reduce your costs, you can also maintain consistent food quality and flavor that keeps customers coming back time after time.
  • Filter On the Fly: With the SmartFilter Express™ integrated filtration system, you can start filtering oil “on the fly” with one single action — and with Henny Penny’s exclusive Filter Beacon™, you’ll know exactly when the time is right.
  • Store Up To 40 Programs: The easy-to-program controls on the Evolution Elite can be pre-set for a variety of your menu items, helping streamline food preparation (and prevent user error) during high-volume periods.
  • Automatic Top-Off: The Evolution Elite features Oil Guardian™ automatic oil top-off, which monitors oil levels and replenishes vats as needed — eliminating the risk of splashing hot oil when manually refilling. Now you can save time and ensure consistent, better tasting food by maintaining optimal oil levels every day.
  • American Made: Every Evolution Elite fryer we sell is made by the skilled team at our Ohio manufacturing facility, where more than 60 percent of our workforce has 10+ years of experience at Henny Penny.

Wendy’s Tests Four New Concept Stores

From QSR Magazine –

“More than a few customers could be seen mouthing the word, “Wow,” as they walked through the electronic sliding door and gazed into the new prototype Wendy’s restaurant that opened Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio.

The redesign, dubbed “ultra modern,” features clean lines, bright lighting, rich colors and some of the top design concepts in the restaurant and retail industries. It is also among four building styles Wendy’s will test in a multi-year strategy to reinvigorate the brand.

The restaurant and a similar unit nearby that opened two weeks ago “are very different from what our customers are used to,” says David Karam, president of Wendy’s, based in nearby Dublin, Ohio.

“We will learn a lot in the coming months from their comments.”

The chain’s high-quality food has always been a draw for Wendy’s patrons, who are the main reason the company embarked on the redesign, Karam says.

“Frankly, customers told us some of our restaurants are getting dated,” he says. “They also said they’d like to see our fresh food preparation, and they want more comfort in our dining areas.”

The result: The interior features a better view of the kitchen behind the counter and five distinct seating types, including a lounge with a fireplace, booths, two-top tables, high-top tables and a high-top counter with electric outlets to plug in devices.

“A lot of quick-service restaurants are taking a page from the Starbucks book and making the interior a lot more comfortable and homey,” says David Talty, a professor in the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Florida International University. “Letting people hang out a little longer pays off in terms of customer frequency.”

Customers also tend to spend more money when they eat in the restaurant, says Bonnie Riggs, restaurant analyst with market research company NPD Group.

“You are more likely to have the side item and beverage you may not have if you drive through or carry out,” she says. “Customers are looking for value, and value is more than price. It’s atmosphere, ambiance, creativity, innovation, and food quality, too.”

The prototypes in Columbus feature some fast-casual touches beyond the open kitchen, including multiple digital food display signs, separate ordering and pick-up stations, and a refrigerated display case for bottled beverages and baked goods.

One of those slogans, “Quality is Our Recipe,” is spelled out on the front of the building’s exterior, which has a clean, Midwestern modern look, complete with large windows and natural materials, that harkens to Frank Lloyd Wright-influenced designs.

“People are tired of big boxes that look ordinary,” says Tre Musco, chief executive officer of Tesser Inc., the San Francisco-based brand strategy and design firm working with Wendy’s to develop the prototypes.

“Customers are very clear in believing that if you put more attention into your building design, you put more attention in your food.”
