Customer Reviews
- John Carter (Supply Chain Director): “In the past, we relied on manual cutting and single-pot frying, with very low daily production capacity and labor costs accounting for a large proportion of operating expenses. After introducing 100kg french fries production line, production capacity has been greatly increased and labor costs have been reduced. More importantly, the consistency of the crispness of the fries has also improved, and the customer praise rate has increased.”
- Sarah Miller (store manager of Blue Ribbon Fries): “The air-cooling technology in the production line allows the fries to remain crispy after thawing. We once tested fries that were thawed and left for 2 hours, and they were crispier than handmade fries.”
