RATIONAL equipment at heart of kitchen modernisation | Restaurant Loudons Edinburgh

Douglas Humphrey, Director, Loudons speaks about how their RATIONAL appliances #SelfCookingCenter and #VarioCookingCenter together with #ConnectedCooking help with the hot food preparation requirements for their central production and restaurant catering operations.

Based in Edinburgh, Loudons has established a reputation as one of the city’s most popular restaurants since opening in 2011. Its ethos is to create a friendly yet relaxed place, and to be as inclusive with its menu as possible.

Director Douglas Humphrey explains. “When we first opened, we wanted to cater for as many people as we could,” he says. “We didn’t just want one vegan option, one gluten free option and so on, we wanted to offer a varied menu accounting for as many different dietary requirements as possible.”

The success has allowed them to open a second location, but this expansion is dependent on the procedures they’ve established behind the scenes to allow them to scale their business. “We operate a cook-cool system here,” says Douglas. “All our food is produced in our central production kitchen, it’s then sent out to the service kitchens each day. The food is reheated and then finished on site. This system lets us handle a large, a la carte menu serving up to 600 meals a day, while minimising cooking times in the service kitchen.”



RATIONAL is the leading provider in hot food preparation equipment and, with the VarioCookingCenter and SelfCookingCenter, the company delivers all a commercial kitchen’s thermal cooking requirements. Together, the two appliances offer the best cooking solutions.
