»JOSÉ GIVES ULTRA-FAST GLASSWASHER THE THUMBS UP«

WELCOME TO »JOSÉ PIZZARO«

The latest José Pizarro restaurant is in the new Broadgate Circle development, just behind Liverpool Street station. It serves lively, seasonal and contemporary twists on Spanish classics and, as with all José’s restaurants, it offers a relaxed, buzzy, atmosphere with the real flavour of Spain. “The food here is like nothing customers have tasted before,” says José. “I’ve drawn on my years of experience and added some surprising new ideas on top.”

THE WAREWASHING SOLUTION

Such a busy site with high quality tableware puts pressure on the warewashers. The group already had Winterhalter PT passthrough dishwashers in its other restaurants. Having been impressed with their results, for the new Broadgate venture José decided to switch to Winterhalter glasswashers, too.

“We’re pleased with the decision, because the Winterhalter’s results are very different from its predecessor’s,” says José. “Our wine and champagne glasses are nice and sleek. They need a powerful, good quality machine. All we have to do is rinse off any heavy dirt or stains then put the glasses into the Winterhalter. It’s fast and gives really good results.”

The José Pizarro Broadgate restaurant has a medium-sized UC undercounter glasswasher, fitted with a Winterhalter reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment system, all of which was installed by catering specialist Salix. “The RO makes a big difference,” says José. “I’ve no doubt it has improved the level of cleanliness. It has also reduced the polishing times and effort required – making a significant time-saving. This in turn has led to a reduction in breakages when polishing. That’s an important factor, especially when handling premium glassware.”
