In addition to testing manufacturing technology at the TAC, you can also test new electric food service equipment in our fully stocked demonstration kitchen. The demonstration kitchen is open all day for customer use.
Our demonstration kitchen puts all the latest electric kitchen equipment in one convenient location so you can try it out with your products before buying, saving you the hassles of researching and possibly buying the wrong equipment. You may use the equipment available at the facility, or with a little advance notice, we can bring in any equipment you choose. The center offers unique kitchen equipment "test drives" for chefs, short order cooks, even nutritionists or anyone else in the food service business.
Put our expertise to work for your business. To find out more about how the Technology Applications Center can benefit your business, e-mail us at or contact our Business Call Center at 1-888-430-5787.
