SKOPE | ActiveCore – Advance Refrigeration System

Introducing SKOPE ActiveCore™ – Advanced Refrigeration System

The R & D team at SKOPE have been hard at work behind the scenes for the last 18 months or so putting together a revolutionary new refrigeration range for the retail hospitality sector.

SKOPE have called it ActiveCore and it combines the best energy saving technology on the market, with a number of innovative features designed to deliver optimal performance, efficiency and reliability.

Before starting on this design and engineering project, SKOPE spent a lot of time with customers listening to what matters most to them. Top of the list – as you might expect, was the need to avoid or eliminate downtime or wastage to a business when a refrigeration unit or chiller fails.

SKOPE understand the last thing you need on your hands is product wastage, or a repairman in the middle of your cafe or shop trying to fix the problem onsite.
The wishlist also included a desire for quieter fridges that are less obtrusive in a hospitality environment, shelving that’s easy to move and adjust to fit different bottle and product heights, slick modern design and branding opportunities, maximum performance to quickly chill down products and keep them at the optimum temperature – especially when it’s hot outside, and energy efficiency that actually makes a difference to your power bills.

SKOPE have done it all with the new ActiveCore chiller range.

“We are confident that the new ActiveCore products will meet the needs of our customers for many years to come – just as our existing technology has effectively stood the test of time”

Interchangeable ActiveCore Unit

Perhaps the most innovative aspect of this new range is the invention of the ActiveCore unit which is the heart of each chiller.

What makes it so unique?

The ActiveCore unit in each chiller can be quickly and easily removed for maintenance or swapped out for another unit. No more waiting for repairs to be completed, no wastage of food, no disruption to your business.

Energy Efficiency that makes a difference

ActiveCore will deliver improved cooling performance, optimised airflow and redesigned components to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency for years to come.

We’ve done the maths on how much replacing your existing chiller with one of the new ActiveCore chillers can save you in energy costs alone, and you are looking at a 35% – 55% saving in power consumption for a top mounted or bottom mounted chiller.

Your power bill (per fridge) can go from $1,125 per year to just $509 per year – that’s a saving of more than $6,000 over 10 years.

And yes, SKOPE are confident that your ActiveCore chiller will still be working
hard in your business after 10 years, just like previous SKOPE products, which are still working hard for their owners.

Our Top 5 Food Safety Tips

How Safe Is Your Business?

Handy tips to keep your customers and staff safe (and avoid possible council penalties):

 

1. Use The Correct Cutting Boards & Utensils

One of the easiest ways to eliminate (or greatly reduce) the threat of cross-contamination in your kitchen is by implementing and strictly adhering to the universally-accepted coloured cutting board system:

• Blue: Seafood
• Green: Vegetables and Fruit
• Yellow: Poultry
• Red: Raw Meat
• Brown: Cooked meat
• White: Bakery and Dairy

Many kitchen utensils such as knives and tongs now also come in coloured ranges to match the appropriate food types and assist kitchen staff.

2. Ensure It’s The Right Thermometer For The Job

To prevent the growth of bacteria, food must always be stored at and cooked to strictly-defined temperatures. Therefore, it’s critical that you’re able to accurately measure and record this data.

There’s a huge range of thermometers available which serve many applications, but for basic food safety a thermometer with a probe which is accurate to +/- 1C is required by law.

High-care workplaces such as hospitals and aged care facilities will often have policies which require the use of various types of thermometers to check the temperature of food surfaces and food storage areas too.

Failure to comply can result in huge penalties so make sure your kitchen is equipped with everything it needs!

 

3. Use Daydot Food Labels Effectively

These small labels are available in dozens of different formats and are a brilliant method of organising stock rotation and ensuring your food stays fresh and safe for consumption.

Using daydot labels effectively allows you to quickly and easily regulate food service, storage and handling within your business.

Not every business will have the same labeling requirements, but every business definitely has a food safety responsibility!

Daydot labels are the perfect solution to ensure your customers always receive the very best products.

 

4. Always Display Warning Signs & Use Appropriate Food Area Signage

Effective food safety management is dependent on quality training and clear communication – to both staff and customers.

We have an extensive range of posters available which are a great way to educate and remind your staff of their responsibilities when working with food. Plus, we also supply the equipment and PPE needed to keep everyone in your workplace safe and reduce the risk of incidents.

 

5. Use Powerful & Proven Cleaning Products

Using the wrong cleaning products to try and keep your business free of harmful bacteria just wastes time, money, and can be dangerous.

There’s countless different products on the market, but one which makes keeping your equipment and food surfaces safe is Dominant’s Bacban No Rinse Sanitiser.

As the name suggests, this super-concentrated formula is easy to use, and simply needs to be lightly sprayed onto cleaned surfaces and allowed to air dry. For soaking, submerge utensils or small equipment for 2-5 minutes, then air dry.

One regular spray bottle requires just 5ml of Bacban, meaning you’ll get exceptional value for money and consistent, reliable cleaning power!

If you would like any more information (or would like even more top safety tips!) please do not hesitate to call our dedicated customer hotline on 1300 721 694.

The best of 2014

Relive some of the exciting openings, special occasions, and countless highlights of 2014!

Wow! We’ve nearly hit the end of December and we’re sure there’s plenty of others wondering where the year has gone! The past 12 months has been an exhilarating ride to say the least. Not only have we been involved in some fantastic new projects, we’ve also made some big changes of our own which are already benefiting our customers and our business and will continue to do so for years to come.

Below is a snapshot of our year in review, and a sample of the amazing highlights we’ve enjoyed:

New Restaurants, Cafes, & Bars:

It’s been a huge year of growth for the Brisbane restaurant and cafe scene. The ever-popular Eagle Street precinct is now overlooked by two of the year’s most anticipated restaurants: Madame Wu and Navala Churrascaria. While their ‘Asian Fusion’ and ‘Brazilian BBQ’ cuisines geographically couldn’t be much further apart, what they have in common is hundreds of customers pouring through their doors each night to see what all the fuss is about and leaving extremely impressed.

Westfield Garden City’s huge renovation and expansion has generated a lot of hype in the southern suburbs, especially it’s tropical-themed Town Square complete with cascading pools, palm trees, and sun lounges. This overhaul coincided with the refurbishment and renaming of an old favourite; Beach House Bar & Grill has now become Hotel Beach House and is home to a huge range of outdoor bar and dining areas, a TAB section, and a beer garden.

Another exciting development around Brisbane has been the rapid growth of Hakataya Ramen. In this year alone we’ve supplied the equipment and smallwares for their Brisbane CBD, Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, and recently-opened Eight Mile Plains stores. It seems their delicious, traditional Japanese soups are becoming more popular by the day, and we look forward to involvement in future projects – which at this rate are only just around the corner!

Moving north – a long way north! – it is great to see that several years after being devastated by tropical cyclone Yasi, the rebuild of Dunk Island Resort is well underway and a reopening is getting closer. Along with the fit out of the Government’s Manus Island Regional Processing Facility, this was definitely one of our biggest logistical undertakings of the year and further demonstrates our ability to successfully coordinate and cooperate with customers, suppliers, and transport companies on large-scale projects wherever the location.

New Head Office & Distribution Centre

In May we relocated our National Head Office and Distribution Centre from its home of four years at Albion, and we’re now well-established in our new 2000sqm premises at Eagle Farm.

The benefits were instant, and both our customers and our staff are enjoying the added convenience, efficient service, and increased stock capacities. We’ve now got most of our staff under the same roof which means our customers can seamlessly interact with staff across all of our departments, and our staff can also work closely together to ensure every customer’s need is professionally and promptly attended to.

Showroom Renovation & Demo Kitchen

Our convenient and centrally-located Fortitude Valley showroom still remains the best place for browsing our stock lines or picking up the supplies you need on-the-spot, and has undergone a few changes of its own over the last couple of months.

A new shelving layout has made it easier than ever for customers to navigate the aisles and quickly find the products they are looking for.

We’ve also got a brilliant new display room at the rear of the building which is home to the most unique, striking, and up to date stoneware and crockery trends on the market. Dozens of the items are exclusive to Hospitality Superstore and we invite you to come in and see for yourself!

If you’ve been lucky enough to visit the showroom during one of our special live cooking demonstrations during the last 10 weeks you would’ve noticed that we now have a big range of commercial cooking equipment installed and ready to go! The Unox combi oven, Irinox blast chiller, Skope refrigeration, Turbochef speed cook oven, and Hobart undercounter dishwasher are all getting regular workouts, plus we’ve got suppliers demonstrating other products on a weekly basis. So make sure you keep stopping by during 2015 and stayed tuned to our Facebook for information about our next live cooking event!

WHY HSS FINANCE?

HSS Finance has been designed with the customer in mind.

It’s based upon providing customers with an affordable finance option which is easy to understand, upfront and honest, cost-effective, flexible, and hassle-free.

Below are 6 key reasons why you should consider HSS Finance:

 

---

No upfront costs

Purchasing through HSS Finance will enable you to dramatically reduce the amount of capital you’ll need to outlay on your catering equipment.

Unlike a lot of competitors, HSS Finance does not require any deposit or bond, there’s no document fees, and you’ll never come across hidden fees or charges.

Instead, we’ll let you keep that money in your pocket to cover other costs you’ll incur such as shopfitting, staff wages, tradespersons labour and produce for your kitchen. Avoid big cash payments and preserve your liquidity.

 

Low weekly rentals

HSS Finance rentals typically start 4% lower than some of the other catering finance options on the moment. Renting your equipment for a small fee each week can enable you to free up your cash flow and prevent you from having to place a huge dent in your capital. We know you’ll enjoy cheaper rental as well as no upfront costs, but the benefits don’t stop there…

 

Reducing rental payments

Each year that you continue to rent, you’ll receive a 20% or 25% reduction in your rental payments depending on the value of the goods.

For amounts under $15,000 rent reduces by 20%, and amount over $15,000 receive a 25% reduction.

Over the course of your rental term, the reduction in rental payments can save you thousands (even tens of thousands) of dollars!

This is another example of how HSS Finance has considered the needs of its customers to add extraordinary value and offer the best catering finance package available on the market.

 

Flexibility

The average rental period within the hospitality and catering industry is somewhere between 3-4 years. With this in mind, the HSS Finance package has been designed to give you unmatched financial benefits and also complete flexibility during the course of your rental term.

Over the course of your flexible 4 year term, you’ll have the convenience of being able to purchase your equipment outright at each anniversary.

If you love the ease of the HSS Finance rental package and decide to continue renting for 4 years, the equipment is yours to own for just $1.

As mentioned earlier, HSS Finance is open and easy to understand, so you’ll know right from the outset the purchase price at the end of each year and can plan ahead accordingly.

 

Tax benefits

HSS Finance rental payments are 100% tax deductible as an operating expense within your business. This means leasing your equipment can become even more affordable than you already thought! Check with your accountant for more advice.

 

It’s easy!

Our fast and simple application process makes getting the equipment you want easier than ever.

In just a few minutes over the phone, in store, or via email, we can have your application completed and receive an instant response.

To make things even easier, there’s no need for the hassle of printing and scanning pages upon pages of documents. Everything can be completed on a computer or tablet with just a few clicks of a button. Simple! As soon as documents have been electronically signed, we receive a notification and your order gets underway immediately.

BONUS: 2.5% CASH BACK OFFER!

From now until 15th November 2014, you’ll receive 2.5% cash back on all financed equipment!

Use your HSS Finance gift card in store or online and enjoy this huge added benefit of our HSS Finance package.

How you use it is completely up to you: spend it on kitchenware for your business, or treat yourself or someone special to items such as crystal glassware or a KitchenAid mixer for home.

The Garland Masterclass

As graduates (some of us for the 3rd or 4th time) of Garland’s Masterclass program, we’re experts at finding the perfect Garland cooking equipment solution for your needs.

We’ve been up close and personal with the whole Garland range and have seen first-hand why this cooking range is a must-have for any chef looking for dependable, durable, and high-quality equipment.

Why Garland:

Garland has always been a pioneer of commercial cooking equipment and their latest models are no exception. Their large team of research and development engineers consistently strives to set new benchmarks and stay ahead of the competition with regard to performance, usability, and efficiency. The Garland Heavy Duty Restaurant Range is full of features which set it aside from other brands on the market:

1. Exclusive ‘Starfire Pro’ burner design

   Two-piece cast iron burners have been engineered to deliver exceptional heat distribution across the entire cooking surface, as well as acting as a heat sink to maximise efficiency. This is further boosted by unique ramping of the gas inlet which channels gas to all parts of the ‘Starfire’ burner and prevents valuable energy being lost from underneath pots and pans. Other key features include flame failure on all burners as standard and standing protected pilots for each burner to ensure safety and peace of mind.

2. Bigger, flatter cooking surface

   Garland’s 692mm deep cooking surface is the largest in the industry and has been designed to make use of all the space available. As a result, the 6 burner cooktop will comfortably fit 6 x 300mm pots, and this convenience is available across the range’s 4, 8, and 10 burner variants too. The cooktop’s grate has also been designed to minimise any gaps and eliminate raised edges so that pots and pans can be slid along and across the entire cooktop (including plate rail) with complete ease and without the danger of tipping.

3. Unique, heavy duty oven construction

   The 900mm wide series’ oven will easily fit a full size sheet pan in either direction. In fact, its 667 x 660 x 330 (mm) cooking chamber will fit two 1/1GN trays side-by-side in either configuration. The oven is powered by a 40MJ cast iron ‘H’ burner which provides fast and even heat distribution as well as retaining heat to ensure high-efficiency. A fully-porcelain interior ensures energy stays trapped inside the chamber and is used to heat the food, not the door itself! The oven’s clever design also includes concave inner walls which naturally encourage air circulation. This produces even cooking results which resemble a convection oven far more than the static ovens of Garland’s competitors. Finally, Garland’s heavy duty door has become famous for it’s unmatched strength and durability. Able to hold a massive 204kg on it’s open hinges, the oven is more than capable of withstanding the frequent and rough opening and closing that comes with a busy kitchen.

4. Convenient and easy maintenance

   The last thing kitchen staff want to be confronted with after a busy service is a daunting and difficult clean up. Garland has designed their equipment to be kept both looking good and clean and hygienic with minimal effort. The crumb and drip trays have been separated into easy-to-manage 300mm wide sections which are a lot safer to carry. Within the cooktop, the grates and entire burner assembly can be removed to be individually cleaned, plus also leaving an empty ‘shell’ which can be quickly wiped out with a damp cloth without any fuss. All of these parts have been configured so there is only one way to remove and reassemble the cooktop – so anyone can be taught the procedure and it’s obvious when it’s ready for use again. Finally, the oven trays and guides slide out to make wiping inside the oven as easy as possible with no hard to reach areas.

5. Twin-burner target top

   Effective multi-tasking is critical in any kitchen operation, and Garland’s twin burner target top makes this easier than ever. Unlike other target tops on the market, Garland offers chefs two six-knuckle cast iron burners which produce a massive 73MJ. This power means each target can potentially reach 550C in the centre, and 300C at the rear of the cooktop.

6. Flexible modular configurations

   In order to create the most functional kitchen line-up possible, Garland’s cooktop and oven ranges stretch from 600mm wide to 900, 1200, and 1500mm wide. In addition, char broilers of various widths, and Garland’s range of fryers and gas salamanders can be seamlessly added to the set-up to create the perfect arrangement for any chef. Full convection ovens can also be added instead of static ovens to further boost the long list of cooking possibilities.
