Automated oil management measures and monitors usage to serve the “original recipe”

MINNEAPOLIS – Oct. 16, 2012 – While Col. Sander’s famous “finger lickin’ good” chicken taste has stayed the same for decades, some KFC restaurants have entered a new era when it comes to handling its fryer oil.

Restaurant Technologies, Inc.^® (RTI) is helping Central Iowa-based KFC franchisee Kevin Schlutz optimize his oil-management operations with its innovative closed-loop process and services. The RTI Total Oil Management™(TOM™) solution eliminates the often messy and time-consuming process of manually handling oil, while maximizing Schlutz’s food quality and bottom line.

“Managing oil effectively is vital in our business because it affects cleanliness, employee safety, and operational efficiency,” Schlutz said. “Plus, we can’t afford to overuse or misuse shortening because it affects the flavor, quality and consistency of our products.”

We’re saving time because we don’t have to drag shuttles around. But cleanliness has also improved; our floors stay cleaner and safer, the back dock is cleaner without the grease bin, and the equipment itself is cleaner.

Our employees work with hot oil every day to prepare the KFC chicken our customers have come to love. We can’t afford to overuse or misuse shortening because it affects our dollars spent, kitchen safety and food flavors.

Minimizing the space required for storage and reducing the amount of time spent manually filling, filtering and disposing of frying oil tremendously helps our operation be more efficient.

The proof was in the data – the statistics from TOM made us create good habits. And now that we’ve created them, the entirety of managing frying oil – from buying and storing to filtering and cleaning – is very easy to manage.

Haley Bitterman
Corporate Executive Chef, Ralph Brennan Restaurant Group

“I made a decision to partner with Restaurant Technologies for several key reasons including Safety, Cleanliness and Simplification. This program has been very helpful to our team and has made the life of our restaurant general managers much easier. Retaining quality people is key for us and this program makes the employees happy. We have seen at least a 20 minute reduction in time spent handling oil by replacing a very manual process with an automated system. This allows us to reallocate resources to more customer facing tasks. This has been a great benefit to the Kedis team”
