💡 Why the Food Retail Industry Needs a New Approach

The food retail landscape is evolving rapidly. From supermarkets and restaurants to fast food chains and bakeries, businesses are being pushed to innovate in response to:

• Rising energy costs
• Increasing demand for sustainability
• Shifting consumer expectations
• Labor shortages and operational inefficiencies

To succeed, businesses need more than just equipment or advice—they need integrated, expert-driven solutions that combine technology, design, and training.

 

🛠️ Rimasee: More Than Equipment — We Build Businesses

At Rimasee, we don’t just sell commercial kitchen equipment. We offer end-to-end food retail solutions that outperform traditional consulting models.

Our team includes:

• Michelin-star chefs who understand culinary excellence
• Engineers and equipment design specialists who ensure performance and durability
• Technical experts who guide you through every step—from concept to operation

We provide custom business design, supermarket layout optimization, fast food business setup, and bakery training—all backed by real-world experience and technical depth.

🤖 Real AI Tools for Real-World Impact

Unlike consultants who pitch theoretical models, Rimasee integrates AI tools for the food industry that deliver measurable results:

• Energy optimization to reduce utility costs
• Predictive maintenance to prevent breakdowns
• Customer behavior analytics to improve store layout and product placement
• Inventory management tools to reduce waste and improve margins

These tools are industry-ready, not speculative. According to a Panasonic industry survey, 25% of food retailers now identify as tech-forward early adopters, up from just 12% before the pandemic—highlighting the shift toward technology-driven operations.

🎓 Training That Empowers Your Team

Even the best equipment is only as good as the people using it. That’s why Rimasee offers hands-on training programs for:

• Bakery and pastry chefs
• Supermarket operators and staff
• Fast food teams

Our training is practical, tailored, and delivered at our installation facilities, ensuring your team is confident and capable from day one.

📉 Why Traditional Food Consultants Are No Longer Effective

The old model of hiring food consultants—whether for restaurants or supermarkets—is increasingly seen as inefficient and outdated. Here’s why:

❌ Lack of Technical Expertise

Most food consultants are not engineers or equipment specialists. They may understand menu design or branding, but they lack the technical knowledge to optimize operations or select high-performance equipment.

❌ Generic Solutions

Consultants often rely on templated strategies and PowerPoint decks that don’t reflect the unique needs of your business. They rarely offer customized, actionable plans.

❌ High Costs, Low ROI

Consulting fees can be substantial, yet many businesses report limited long-term value. According to industry feedback, integrated service providers like Rimasee deliver higher ROI by combining strategy, execution, and support.

❌ No Manufacturing or Installation Support

Consultants don’t manufacture equipment or oversee installation. This leads to fragmented execution, delays, and increased costs.

✅ The Rimasee Advantage: Integrated, Expert-Driven, Proven

Rimasee’s model is built to outperform traditional consultants in every key area:

 

🔄 Full-Service Support from Start to Scale

Whether you’re launching a new supermarket, upgrading a restaurant kitchen, or expanding a fast food chain, Rimasee provides:

1. Business Concept & Store Design
2. Eco-Friendly Equipment Manufacturing
3. Installation & Setup
4. Staff Training
5. Operational Optimization

We help you create spaces that attract customers, streamline operations, and build lasting loyalty.

Amid a potential global energy crisis that may significantly impact the economy, the environment, and people’s well-being worldwide, RIMACOLD a Rimasee Corp. brand wants to encourage its clients and partners to contribute to energy conservation.

As a refrigerated equipment designer and distributor, RIMACOLD knows how indispensable such equipment is for supermarkets. Yet, according to a study on energy management by the EHI Retail Institute, refrigeration equipment also accounts for a huge 48% share of supermarkets’ energy consumption.

However, refrigeration systems can be an easy and effective place to start saving energy in grocery retail – since even minor improvements can drastically boost overall energy efficiency.

RIMACOLD aims to help retailers not just reduce their energy bills but also avoid possible energy shortages. Now RIMACOLD offers several tips that can significantly impact a store’s energy consumption and help avoid an energy crisis.

Basis: 34 food retail chains, more than 27,000 stores, approx. 35 million sqm selling space Energy Management in Retail 2020 Source: EHI

As a supplier that worries about the optimization of your retail stores here are some suggestions to consider for improving energy efficiency

1. Switch to environmentally friendly propane gas (R290) refrigerant. Our Go Green R290 refrigeration equipment, which operates with natural, non-toxic R290 refrigerant, can help supermarkets save up to 30% on energy compared to HFC systems.
2. Invest in energy-effective cooling solutions like RIMACOLD’s Hydroloop Hybrid system. Refrigeration equipment operating on a Hydroloop Hybrid system use up to 30% less energy than traditional cooling systems. And with a Hydroloop Glycol or Hydroloop Hybrid system, excess heat can be reused to warm store premises and water – a huge gain towards becoming even more energy efficient.
3. Use Dual Air Curtains and night curtains on the refrigeration equipment. RIMACOLD’s most popular multideck HUDSON comes with Dual Air Curtains installed by default, minimizing temperature differences inside the equipment for energy savings of up to 20%. Additionally placing night curtains over open refrigerated display cases during a store’s non-working hours can yield even bigger energy savings.
4. Pick commercial refrigeration equipment with glass doors or lids. Doors reduce the amount of energy needed to maintain the right temperature inside. Refrigerators with glass lids or doors can save up to 75% of the energy used by open cabinets.
5. Go with LED lighting and energy-saving fans, which are standard on RIMACOLD refrigeration equipment. RIMACOLD uses energy-saving electronically commutated fans, which are up to 30% more efficient than traditional AC fans. LED lighting, meanwhile, not only improves product visibility but, more importantly, consumes less energy and induces less heat, resulting in less electricity used to keep products at the right temperature. Of course, the most basic way to raise energy efficiency is to always turn lighting off during non-business hours.
6. A great planning process for your supermarket or grocery store is a must, this will help optimize not only space but also air flow. At Rimasee Corp we offer this service to our customers at many times free of costs. Many times, we noticed that a lot of our customers ask us for extra tall and depth in our merchandisers when it is not necessary. Less sometimes means more.

Today it is more than necessary than ever for supermarkets to rethink their commercial refrigeration energy usage and start taking action to save energy. Even simple steps, like turning off lighting when a store is closed and using night curtains on open refrigeration displays, can significantly improve energy efficiency. Now is the time to invest in energy-efficient cooling solutions, and Rimasee Corp. is always ready to help to achieve energy conservation goals.

An Underrated Yet Advantageous Mixer

Commonly used in Europe mainly, France and Italy, the Fork Mixer is one of those special equipment most bakers would dream of having in their kitchen for the many advantages and features it has but before I continue about its many features let me properly define the Fork Mixer.

 

The Fork Mixer is a special type of mixer that is designed to avoid your dough heating up during the mixing process. A Fork Mixer has a free spinning bowl and a two-pronged agitator that can run at both slow, and fast speed. It is gentle on dough as it mixes, but the mix times are longer when compared to a spiral mixer. They have a very gentle form of mixing that produces minimal friction and heat input into the dough. This will result in a higher quality dough that is not heated.

 

As a result of its design the Fork Mixer simulates the movement of human hands, ensuring a natural leavening process without artificially warming the dough. Again, these very gentle forms of mixing allow for longer mixing times to reach maximum dough development without the risk of over mixing. Fork Mixers have a wider range of acceptable hydration than diving arm mixers, although they are more commonly used with higher-hydration doughs.

 

Some facts about the Fork Mixer:

 

• Preferred by the top Italian pizza makers, the Fork Mixer creates an excellent balance of oxygenation and movement for their pizzas.

 

• The Fork Mixer minimizes moving parts, making it one of the most durable and reliable dough mixers available.

 

• The fork kneading system is the best system for processing non-fluid dough, such as dough with thick consistence’s for bread, pizza, flat unleavened bread or pasta for noodles and ravioli.

 

At RIMASEE Corp we carry the best heavy-duty Fork Mixers in the market, don´t forget to check out our catalog for more detailed information about our Caprea products or contact us through our chat or contact form. To go directly to our Fork Mixers, click here.

The entire food industry has forever changed due to a virus that struck our society in a way it hasn’t been seen in over a century. Thus, this has affected the way we live our lives and especially the way we conduct business. RIMASEE being a company that specializes in the development and distribution of commercial food equipment has a priority of not only finding better and more effective ways to display and or process food products but to also maximize space and help prevent the spread of Covid-19 and of any other type of virus that can be spread through surfaces, making food retailers a better and safer place for consumers to get their favorite products.

In an effort to determine  which refrigerated equipment models are better suited for cases like Covid-19 a computer simulation was made and the results confirmed a theory we had and with an outstanding margin difference of over 85%, we were able to determine that air curtain refrigerated display cases or Grab-N-Go display cases decrease the spread ratio of a virus like Covid-19 within a food retailer store, making them the safer option for retailers like convenience stores and mini markets which count on reduced space when compared to larger closed retailer stores like supermarkets. The explanation of this result is quite simple, air curtain refrigerated display cases have no doors, so when consumers find the product that they want, there is no reason for them to open any door preventing the spread of the virus if in any case they do have it on their hands or if its already on the door handle of the refrigerated case.

 

RIMASEE carries several refrigerated open-air curtain merchandisers or as we like to call them Grab-N-Go display cases which not only helps increase sells and reduce the spread ratio of Covid-19 inside your food store but also come with their many advantages such as:

 

• Ensured Mobility: 4 swivel wheels with brakes for quick and easy installation on your sales area. (Optional)
• Optimal Visibility of products
• Integrated LED Lighting
• Fits conveniently near the check-outs and favours impulse buying
• Low power consumption
• Reduced height: accessibility is easier for children

 

So, don’t hesitate to ask us about our Grab-N-Go equipment, we have the perfect model for you. Visit our online shop and if you need help with financing let us know and we will gladly help you out.

The post Keeping Your Business and Customers Safer With a Grab-N-Go first appeared on RIMASEE.

Consumers now a days tend to look for convenience and practicality and food retailers must deliver on this demand which, is why GRAB – N – GOs or open merchandisers are increasingly becoming more popular making them a trend in the food retail business. Over the years GRAB – N  – GOs have become an essential piece of equipment to have in your food business, whether it’s a supermarket, C-Store, bakery shop or minimarket, GRAB – N -GOs have proven to be convenient and practical for consumers and an efficient piece equipment that help vendors increase sales of their displayed products up to even 50%. Therefore, at Rimasee Commercial Equipment Corp we tell our customers to take advantage of the trend by merchandising a mix of products beyond your normal menu and offer customers a convenient way to help themselves with our well-designed GRAB – N – GOs.

These GRAB – N – GOs can be placed on front end caps or anywhere else for that matter. Both horizontal and higher-capacity vertical versions are usually available. The main advantage to GRAB – N GOs or open merchandisers cases is the quick access to freshly prepared sandwiches, salads, beverages or even hot foods now that we have a HOT GRAB – N – GO that will allow you to sell more hot prepared meals to customers. All our GRAB – N – GOs will have retractable night curtains to hold in cold air during off hours to save energy as well as LED canopy lighting for optimum product illumination and lower energy usage.

 

When equipment placement makes sense the customers´ experience becomes convenient and practical. Manage traffic flow with ease thanks to these suggestions:

• Place beverage coolers in places where they won’t disrupt traffic flow. That means avoiding busy spots where customers are already waiting in line for something else.
• Stay prepared. Plan to keep backup refrigeration close to upright refrigerated air screen coolers and keep items pre-chilled to make sure the food that goes into upright, open air refrigerator models stays fresh, safe and at the right temperature.
• Grab customers’ appeal with eye-catching design. Try implementing shaped or curved merchandising units to mix up classic C-store design.

Location is critical to performance in other ways, too. The air-screen that keeps cold air inside the GRAB – N – GO from escaping into the surrounding environment can be easily disturbed if you’re not careful about where you put these cases.

Think of it like the effluent plume on your hood. Anything that interferes with capture and containment will make the hood less efficient (and affects other systems like HVAC). Follow the 5, 10, 15 rule to make sure air flow in your operation won’t interfere with the efficiency of the GRAB – N – GO.

Locate cases at least 5 ft. away from exterior windows. Direct sunlight increases the heat load on the case, making the compressor work harder. Windows that open, of course, can let in breezes that will disturb the air curtain.

Make sure cases are at least 10 ft. away from HVAC vents, for the same reason you avoid putting four-way ceiling vents in front of the hood canopy—air blowing toward the front of the case will disturb the air curtain. If the case has a glass front, air from the HVAC vent might cause condensation on the glass.

Finally, locate open display cases at least 15 ft. from exterior doors to prevent drafts from interfering with the air-screen and letting warm air into the case.

So, to sum up let’s look at some of the advantages of having a GRAB – N -GO:

• Products are more visually appealing
• Sales from open cases are typically 50% higher – and in some cases – as much as four times more
• Customers can take the products they want quickly and easily
• Lines are limited – more than one customer can take an item at the same time

Do not keep yourself from improving your customers’ experience and in improving your sales, it’s time for you to get your GRAB – N – GO from Rimasee Corp!

Choosing your first professional oven may look like a difficult task, it is important to choose the right type of oven, but it is not as difficult as one may think, so to help you get a better understanding we wrote this piece to help you find the ideal oven for your business, the star behind the counter, responsible for those smells that captivate your guests.

Let’s begin with the basics, the first thing we must do is verify what space is available for the oven, it is crucial you don’t get an oven that won’t fit in your kitchen/workshop or an oven that is just too small. Based on this you can select from the different sizes that are available in the market, currently our Maple Oven brand has innovative models designed for high production but occupying the least amount of space as possible.

Based on the amount of space that you have available, the production and the type of food you want to bake in your oven we proceed to choosing the correct type and model. Here we will highlight the different types of ovens available in the market through our brand Maple Ovens.

Rotating Rack Oven

Rotating Rack Oven also called industrial oven, rotary oven, since they are usually used for baking mass production and count on several trays that rotate continuously. These types of ovens include a mechanism that introduces the steam needed for baking bread and has a ventilation system inside that is responsible for distributing the heat. Its great advantage is that it allows cooking in a balanced way during the process, without great imbalances or decompensation in the interior.

The rotating rack oven offers versatility, but with a different process. With the steam they can apply they are able to bake bagels, or toast buns.

Our rotating rack ovens will finish products faster and more evenly, thanks to its rotating trolley, its fans and its ability to also bake with steam, the chamber and air flow system in our ovens allows for evenly air distribution throughout the baking process, which translates into production efficiency. Depending on the country and the associated costs, you can choose gas or electric. The gas models’ versions are slightly more expensive than their electrical version.

Rotating Rack Oven

Convection Ovens

Convection Ovens these ovens contain a ventilated system in their chamber which works as a homogeneous heat distributor. These types are ovens are the most common professional ovens in the market and can be used in restaurants, bakeries, C-Stores, Coffee Shops, etc. They are vertical ovens and often made from stainless steel. All our convection ovens are built with stainless steel 304A, which allows for cooking pastries and protein foods.  The convection system enhances the cooking process by heating the cooking chamber faster, thus saving time and energy.

Combi Ovens

Combi or Combination Oven is the most versatile oven in the market. These ovens are relatively new, they have been around in the market 20 years approximately.  A combi oven is an oven with three functions: convection, steam and combination cooking. In the convection mode, the oven circulates dry heat – ideal for pastries and breads. The steam mode injects water into the oven to poach fish, rice and vegetables. The true genius behind the combi oven is the combination mode which uses both dry heat and steam to maintain exact humidity levels, thus giving you more control of the moisture levels in food. These levels are adjustable from 0% to 100% of possible maximum relative humidity, a term used to describe the quantity of water vapor that exists in a gaseous mixture of air and water. Our line of combi ovens come with high tech touch screen panel, automatic washing system and programmed recipes to guarantee an easy to use experience.

Deck Ovens

Deck Ovens, the second most used type of oven, these ovens rely on radiant heat – transfer of heat to the product through the heated air of the baking chamber, and conductive heat – transfer of heat directly into the product from the baking stone or deck. Deck ovens have even, consistent heat that make it ideal for controlled baking. They will usually include features like steam injection and a venting system to adjust the humidity inside the baking chamber. If the deck oven consists of more than one chamber, each chamber can bake simultaneously each at a different temperature. This oven is great for pizzas and artisan bakery. If you tend to have artisan bread stocked in your bakery shop, then this oven is a must have.
