Quicker Payback and Higher Guest Satisfaction with Hoshizaki
NOVEMBER 8, 2007. Improving the guest experience is always critical. Additionally, being able to accentuate a guest's stay while also cutting down on employee man hours is a win-win situation for everyone. At Hoshizaki America, their expert development team has created an ice making solution that's scoring rave reviews for its clever design and attention to detailed design.
Introducing the DKM-500BA ice maker/dispenser. This all in one unit eliminates the hassle of traditional two tiered systems, while also operating quieter and more efficiently than similar units manufactured by other companies.
"This ice machine is making all other types of cubers obsolete," said Carter Davis, senior VP sales and Marketing with Hoshizaki America. "It's a snap to install and immediately impacts the guest experience."
Extremely quiet, even those staying in the room next door won't believe they're in such close proximity to a machine making up to 466 pounds of ice every single day. In fact, its 35 percent quieter when compared to other hotel dispenser applications.
The durable yet easy cleaning, stainless steel exterior unit is also fashionably attractive, and guests need not worry about pesky germs since the dispenser button is protected by the HoshiGuard Antimicrobial Agent. Ice pours out from the Hoshizaki DKM-500BA at an incredible 13 pounds per minute and its bin can hold up to 200 pounds at once.
Additionally, the self-contained design reduces opportunities for cross contamination. It also comes with 6" Flanged legs, making the Hoshizaki DKM-500BA fully portable. Now instead of two engineers taking hours to dissemble and move traditional two part units, one man can simply unplug the cuber and easily relocate anywhere it's needed in just minutes. That cuts payroll costs or frees up staff for other projects.
The unit also features the unique CycleSaver design, which allows Hoshizaki cubers to produce the same quantity of ice in about half the cycles of other ice machines. That saves time, money and electricity while speeding up ROI.
In fact, the Hoshizaki DKM-500BA complies with the strict California Energy Commission guidelines (CEC) and passes the standards for 2008 Energy Star designation. That means guests can go green even when cooling their drinks.
Come see Hoshizaki America at the International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Association event at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York City between November 11 and 14. They'll be at booth #1533.
