Action stations take off

Noncommercial operations are increasingly building action stations into dining halls, corporate cafes and other facilities. Not only is this a successful way to engage diners, excite their taste buds and encourage trial, say our chefs, but customers also really appreciate the transparency. Seeing ingredients transformed into a finished dish by a culinary pro conveys freshness, scratch preparation and customization—all priorities for today’s consumers. These dishes get into the action with winning results.
