Running a restaurant is challenging, and saving money wherever you can makes a big difference. For restaurant owners and managers, investing in the right commercial kitchen equipment can help keep costs down and make operations smoother. The Taylor Double Sided Grill, also called the Taylor clamshell grill or Taylor Crown Series grill, is a perfect example of this. Let’s look at how this double-sided electric grill can save energy, cut cooking times, and reduce food waste while improving your kitchen. Energy Efficiency: Lower Utility Bills The Taylor Two-Sided Grill uses advanced technology to save energy. Compared to traditional flat-top grills, it heats up quickly and keeps a steady temperature, so you waste less energy. Over time, this adds up to big savings on utility bills. Faster Preheat Times:  Regular grills take 10-15 minutes to preheat, but the Taylor Two-Sided Grill is ready in under 5 minutes. This saves energy when the grill isn’t being used. Even Heat Distribution:  The cooking surface heats evenly, so you don’t waste energy on hotspots or uneven cooking. Energy-Saving Modes:  When not in use, the grill automatically switches to an energy-saving mode, lowering power usage without sacrificing performance. Time Savings: Cook Faster and Serve More In the food service industry, saving time is key. The Taylor Two-Sided Grill cooks food from both sides at once, which means much faster cook times without sacrificing quality. Here are some examples: Hamburgers (6oz):  On a flat-top grill, burgers take 6 minutes and 33 seconds to cook. On the Taylor Double Sided Burger Grill, they’re done in just 1 minute and 40 seconds—a savings of 4 minutes and 53 seconds, or 75%. Chicken Breasts:  Flat-top grills take 12 minutes and 25 seconds to cook chicken breasts. With the Taylor Two-Sided Grill, it takes just 2 minutes and 30 seconds—saving 9 minutes and 55 seconds, or 79%. Bacon: Cooking bacon on a flat-top grill takes 6 minutes and 48 seconds, but only 1 minute and 30 seconds on the Taylor Two-Sided Grill—a 78% time savings. Turkey Burgers:  A turkey burger cooks in 7 minutes and 8 seconds on a flat-top grill but only 2 minutes and 40 seconds on the Taylor Double Sided Grill—saving 4 minutes and 28 seconds, or 63%. Restaurant operators who have switched to Taylor grills report these benefits: 77% Average Reduction in Cook Time:  Faster cooking across a wide range of menu items. 6-10 Hours of Labor Saved Per Day:  Depending on how busy the restaurant is, the time saved in cooking adds up to fewer hours of labor needed. Improved Consistency and Quality:  The grill’s even cooking reduces stress in the kitchen and delivers reliable results. Simpler Training:  Because the grill is push-button operated, staff don’t need advanced grilling skills. Fresh vs. Pre-Cooked Ingredients:  The efficiency of the Taylor Two-Sided Grill lets you use fresh ingredients instead of pre-cooked, lowering food costs and improving quality. Preset Menu and Touch Menu:  The grill’s touch menu and preset menu features make it easy to prepare a wide variety of items with precision. Waste Reduction: Save Ingredients and Money Food waste is expensive, but the Taylor Two-Sided Grill helps you cut it down. Consistent Portion Control:  The even pressure and heat on the cooking surface ensure perfect results every time, reducing waste from overcooking or undercooking. Better Yields:  The grill cooks food evenly, so you’ll have less shrinkage or dried-out portions. Fresher Food:  Faster cooking times mean food reaches customers sooner, cutting down on spoilage and improving quality. Precision Cooking: Better Results with Less Effort The Taylor Two-Sided Grill features preset gap settings and precise automatic gapping, ensuring accurate and consistent gaps between the cooking surfaces. This allows for perfect cooking of menu items every time, reducing variability and delivering higher quality food with less effort. Long-Term ROI: A Smart Investment While a Taylor Double Sided Grill might cost more upfront, it quickly pays for itself through lower energy bills, reduced labor, and less food waste. Many restaurants see a return on investment within the first year. Durable Build:  Taylor grills are made to handle the demands of a busy commercial kitchen, so you’ll save on repairs and replacements. Versatility: This grill works for everything from burgers and chicken to paninis and breakfast items, making it a valuable all-in-one tool. Happier Customers:  Faster service and better-quality food keep customers coming back, boosting revenue. See It in Action: Set Up a Demo Today Want to see the Taylor Two-Sided Grill in action?
