Unified Brands: A Dover Company

With a goal of delivering healthy and nutritious food to growing school children, Unified Brands has created a top to bottom white paper illuminating areas to increase cost-saving and student participation in K-12 school cafeterias.

In today’s school cafeteria kitchens, Unified Brands steamers, braising pans, steam-jacketed kettles, from Groen, serving units and lines from Randell, and pot and pan warewashing and produce washing equipment from Power Soak, can be uniquely designed to meet the needs of every school nutrition program.

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed what the common school day—let alone traditional lunch—looks like. Unified Brands foodservice equipment can help boost your K-12 operations while addressing COVID-centric challenges.
