Welcome to the RDT Blog.

Having automation in commercial refrigeration is important, especially in the foodservice business. When backup compressors are used, it helps free up employees to do other things that will help your business make money. More importantly, if your primary unit does go down, there won't be an interruption of service, or worse, lost product. Here are a few examples of how a backup compressor can help your business.

We've spoken at length recently about the benefit that the retrofit kit may bring to your foodservice operation. 

Schools have had to adapt and overcome many different trials over the past year. From going completely virtual, to hybrid, to full in-person, it seems the changes are never-ending and pose all new complications. The biggest hurdle that many school foodservice operations have had to jump over recently has been properly and effectively monitoring their refrigeration, and that's what we're here to talk about today.

Technology is something that is always evolving. Power companies, home security systems, and appliances are providing smart systems that allow the end-user to monitor their usage from anywhere, at any time, and even on the go. RDT recognizes this technology shift, and our RDT Smart Access is bringing that same transparency and data directly to your fingertips.

One of the things often overlooked in foodservice is how geographical location can impact an operations foodservice equipment. Some things are more common to consider than others, such as baking in higher elevations or ice making in hot regions like Florida. Where a foodservice operated is located can also impact its refrigeration.

Freezer burn can be one of the biggest contributors to food waste and dissatisfied customers. From poor flavors to decreased profits, there are many harmful effects of freezer burn that can negatively impact restaurants and other types of foodservice operations.
