XLT conveyor ovens are the perfect choice for school kitchens. High capacity conveyor ovens have been replacing convection ovens, combi-ovens, and fryers in school systems across the country. In some cases, school districts purchase pizzas from local shops to provide the students food items they really want. Unfortunately, the pizza quality can suffer due to the long periods of time from baking to serving students. The latest trend is to produce the pizzas on-site, in high-quality, fast-baking conveyor ovens from XLT. Sharp food service managers are using the conveyor ovens for many more products to supplement the school menus. Chicken breasts or tenders, French fries, hamburger patties, and a wide range of oven-able food products can be baked and cooked in XLT conveyor ovens. As every district struggles with providing high-quality food products at low food costs, XLT can help. Making your own pizza on-site offers the lowest food cost possible.
In the past, the Centinela School District relied on local pizza shops for their product. Unfortunately, that product was expensive, hard to transport, and did not hold up well. The long times from baking to students enjoying the product were difficult to overcome. The director of food service decided to build an in-house pizza program with the help of XLT ovens. They installed two sets of triple XLT1832 ovens under an existing hood. Not only is pizza baked in the ovens, but many other products from tater tots to chicken breasts are baked on a daily basis.
The program has become a great success. The students love the hotter, fresher, and better tasting pizza. Food costs have dropped dramatically, and the food service operation has returned to profitability.
XLT ovens can help your school produce the highest quality pizzas at very low food costs. At Hawthorne High School, were they used to lose money, they now generate positive cash flow and support other areas of the school operations.
