As a former employee at a pizza joint, I know that time is money. As a minimum-wage pizza pie producer, time did not equal very much money, but money nonetheless. However, for the owners of a pizza emporium, time used is money spent–not money earned. The quicker you go from dough to dough, the better. Knowing this, I became very interested in this Doughpro video. A pizza in five minutes? It’s been done before, yes, but that’s still pretty quick. I was expecting a perfectly choreographed ballet of epic proportions to see a pizza get done, cooked and served, in that time.

However, after watching the video, I came away impressed not by the cook’s talents–he seemed to bumble around, and I’m not sure he put on enough sauce–but by how the tools that Doughpro provided seems to have helped him immensely. Every time he touched a Doughpro product, he was done with it in the blink of an eye. Easy-peasy pizza-squeezy. So, it dawned on me: if this guy can make a pizza in less than five minutes with their products, anybody can. And after reflecting about my talent and dexterity, or lack there-of, as a former pizza-making employee, that truly is astonishing.

Check out some of our Doughpro presses and start churning out pizza like in the video!

What did the ice cream say to the Hamilton Beach Commercial HMD mixers? “You shake me up”!! What do national chains, regional operators and local restaurants say about these same units?? “Powerful, easy to use, clean, and maintain, and unmatched durability with perfect finished product”! The powerful 1/3HP independent motors are strong, quiet and easy to use, clean and replace. The HMD’s pulse switches keep your hands away from the equipment and the shakes!!

As the heath care debate continues to polarize the nation, Restaurant Equipment World decided to jump into the action.  REW Chairman and CEO Jerry Pierce has continually voiced his opinions about- and solutions to- the health care crisis from the standpoint of small businesses.  PBS’s Frontline was kind enough to feature us in its recent segment regarding small business and health care reform.

Check out the video for more information and to see what we think about the new Health Care Bill.

You should also be on the look out for me in the video (Hint: I’m the cute one)

The views expressed in this segment do not necessarily reflect the views of everyone here at REW.  We all come from differing backgrounds and have differing opinions.  But hey, isn’t that what makes America great?

Hello, I’m Brad Pierce, President of Restaurant Equipment World.  I would like to invite you to join myself as well as other foodservice industry professionals at The National Restaurant Association Show May 22nd through the 25th in Chicago.  This is a world-class event that allows our dealership to keep up to date with the latest products and innovations in our industry.  While the scope of products and manufacturers represented is enormous, the number of industry leaders in attendance is even more impressive.  The NRA Show is clearly the place to be if you are serious about growing your business and increasing your bottom line.  Our dealership could spend weeks meeting with individual manufacturers throughout the year, but that would be costly and inefficient.  Instead, we spend our resources and time productively at the NRA Show where we are able to have dozens of quality interactions in just a few short days.  The NRA Show is the place where new relationships are formed, existing ones are taken to new heights, and our business gains a competitive edge.  I look forward to seeing you in Chicago at the 2010 National Restaurant Association Show!
