What we have done
Over the past 35 years, we have designed and produced hundreds of different types of small wares and food service equipment. Below is a small portion of the variety of items that we have designed and produced for our clients (images used with their permission).
A large Chain couldn't find a cup dispenser that could handle the many different size cups used in their operation. Some stores had 8 different cup sizes. To make this project even more challenging, their sources for cups changed over time and each cup varied based on which manufacter they were using.
Buildit delevoped one of the first fully adjustable cup dispensers. We created an adjustable stainless steel spring clip that retained the cup at the proper height and made it very easy to dispense. Our client was able to organize their cups and some previously wasted back bar space. Their source of cups changed frequently, but their cup dispensers work with cups from any manufacturer.
When the worlds biggest scooper of ice cream asked us to create the Worlds Greatest Ice Cream Scoop, we knew it would be a challenge. Ice cream is a very difficult food to work with and the physics of ice cream dispensing are very complicated. They needed a scoop which would be easy on the store personnel, have a very tight portion control, and be approved by the National Sanitation Foundation.
Buildit developed the most efficient portion control scoop ever created. To date, this design has scooped over 1,000,000,000 scoops of ice cream and we still receive fan letters from the people who use them! How did we do it? A big computer and a lot of physics.
The leading cup manufacturer in the United States challenged us to develop a collar for their cups that could withstand the abuse of malt making and mixing equipment, be easy to use, and also be approved by the National Sanitation Foundation.
Buildit developed a stainless steel cup collar which fits a large variety of cups and is very easy to use and clean. They are also adaptable to many types of mixing equipment.
A Major distributor of housewares products wanted to capitalize on the increasing market for authentic Mexican food prepared at home. Already having many tortilla related accessory items, they could not find a tortilla press that actually produced consistent tortillas and was easy to use.
Buildit developed and produced a tortilla press which enabled the home chef to produce their own fresh tortillas in their own kitchen. Using leverage and a unique cam system, this item produces very consistent tortillas with very little effort.
A large chain displayed dry and wet foods in their stores. However, in order to keep the food fresh, they wanted to only present a small portion of the food. The existing food pans were to large. Their existing display cabinetry could not hold custom size pans.
Buildit developed a Pan Filler which took approximately 75% of the air space in a standard plastic container. Foods could be fully displayed but the stores only presented 25% of what they had used previously saving them a huge amount in wasted food costs.
When your stores use a huge amount of beans, you need the most efficient method possible to mix them to the proper consistentency for your signature burritos and other Mexican food. Existing methods of blending left the product inconsistent and lumpy. The mixing of the beans took to long leaving long lines of hungry customers.
Buildit developed a special mixing blade which significantly decreased the mixing time and also produced a much more consistent product. This blade was made compatible with the clients existing mixing equipment and was an easy retrofit.
Our client needed an ice cream sundae glass that could withstand the abuse of many uses and cleanings. The acrylic glass needed to be stable when filled and crystal clear to really show off the product inside. The design had to emphasize the sundae rather than the container holding it.
Buildit developed and produced an SAN acrylic sundae glass which is top shelf dishwasher safe and can also hold up to many trips through the cleaning sink. Its unique stem, taper, and multi-panel design enable the sundae inside to be the star!
A major dessert manufacturer needed to increase the speed of forming and cutting their cakes and pies. They also needed to be able to control the process and make it as simple as possible with near identical results each time.
Buildit developed a series of molds for forming and also a complete range of cutting tools which enabled store personnel to produce the dessert items consistently and with very little training.
