Which Robot Coupe Equipment is Right for Your Concept?
From dicing to blending, Robot Coupe helps countless foodservice operators streamline food prep. The company offers dozens of options, including various discs and attachments, designed for specific types of tasks. While some highly versatile models could find a place in almost any kitchen, others are more specialized for niche needs. For example, a juice bar requires different equipment than a Mexican restaurant, but Robot Coupe offers solutions for both. Before deciding which Robot Coupe products to invest in, keep reading to familiarize yourself with the available options.
Choosing a Robot Coupe by Concept
The type of foodservice concept you own has a significant impact on the kind of equipment you'll need. Robot Coupe provides some suggestions based on concept or application to narrow down your choices.
Because of the popularity of Italian restaurants and pizzerias, Robot Coupe offers a package optimized for pizza prep tasks. The CL50 Ultra Pizza kit includes a tabletop vegetable preparation machine and interchangeable discs for slicing fresh vegetables for toppings, grating cheese, and dicing bruschetta ingredients.
- Slicing: one 2-millimeter slicing disc (mushrooms, olives, peppers, etc.) and one 4-millimeter slicing disc (tomatoes, eggplant, etc.)
- Grating: one 7-millimeter grating disc (mozzarella, pizza cheese blend)
- Dicing: one 10-millimeter by 10-millimeter dicing disc (bruschetta)
Like the pizza package, Robot Coupe offers a starter kit for Mexican or Tex-Mex concepts. The CL50 Ultra Tex-Mex kit includes a tabletop vegetable preparation machine, slicing and grating discs, and a dicing disk to quickly shred lettuce for tacos, slice peppers and onions for fajitas, chop tomatoes for salsa, or grate cheese for topping dishes.
- Slicing: one 3-millimeter slicing disc (lettuce) and one 5-millimeter slicing disc (onions, peppers)
- Grating: one 3-millimeter grating disc (radishes, jicama, etc.) and one 5-millimeter grating disc (cheese)
- Dicing: one 10-millimeter by 10-millimeter dicing disc (onions, tomatoes)
Robot Coupe for Bakeries and Patisseries
Faced with tasks like kneading dough, whipping merengue and frosting, or creating sauces and compotes, bakeries and pastry shops can benefit from multiple Robot Coupe models. Use a cutter mixer or combination processor to finely chop nuts, fruit, or chocolate that can then be incorporated into batter, knead dough, grind spices, or create sauces and emulsions.
For bakeries especially interested in creating house-made coulis, sauces, or emulsions, a Robot Coupe Immersion Blender is a worthwhile consideration. Slice fresh fruit for pies and cobblers with the Robot Coupe CL55 or extract fresh juice to flavor or color batters and frostings with a Robot Coupe Juice Extractor.
Robot Coupe for Healthcare
Designed with healthcare facilities in mind, Robot Coupe's Blixer® modifies the texture of anything from raw vegetables to meat to create a finished product that can be safely eaten by patients who may have trouble chewing or swallowing. Effortlessly create pates, compotes, or even sauces and condiments like pesto and hummus. For the largest facilities, floor-model Blixers are available.
Operations like nursing homes or hospitals may also consider the CL40 speed cutter or R2N food processor to cut fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces. Use a Robot Coupe Immersion Blender to make smooth, blended soups and smoothies, or hydrate patients with fresh juice made with a Robot Coupe Juice Extractor.
Robot Coupe for Schools
School cafeterias from elementary schools to college campuses face large-volume demands. To keep up with feeding large groups of students each day, Robot Coupe recommends models such as the CL40 speed cutter and the R2N food processor to quickly slice, grind, blend, or dice ingredients.
If your cafeteria offers special menu options such as soups, smoothies, or juices, the Robot Coupe Blixer, Robot Coupe Immersion Blender, or Robot Coupe Juice Extractor can streamline production to keep food lines moving quickly.
Additional Robot Coupe Considerations
While Robot Coupe suggests the above applications for each of its products, every establishment is different, so your specific needs may vary from the needs of a similar concept. Additionally, most Robot Coupe products are available in a range of sizes, so you can purchase one best-suited to your operation's demands. If you're uncertain about which model is the best investment for you, consult Robot Coupe's selection guide, which suggests appropriate models based on your intended functions, ingredients, food sector, and service volume.
