How XLT Ovens and Hood Systems Keep Buttercrust Pizza’s Kitchen Cool and Efficient

For Brianna Feldman, owner of Buttercrust Pizza, it is important to keep it cool and comfortable for her staff.

For Brianna Feldman, owner of Buttercrust Pizza, expanding to a second location in Florida meant finding solutions to address the high demands of her busy kitchen while keeping it comfortable for her staff. With her first location just outside of Orlando, Brianna knew that reliable, efficient equipment was essential. For both locations, she chose XLT conveyor ovens with conveyorized impingement oven technology, but at her second location, she upgraded to a double-stack setup with a specialized hood system from XLT.  This setup has proven invaluable, ensuring that her team can work in a cooler, quieter, and more efficient kitchen environment.

Why XLT’s Hood System is a Game-Changer for Florida Kitchens

Running a pizzeria in Florida comes with the challenge of maintaining a comfortable temperature for both customers and staff. Brianna’s new XLT hood system not only keeps the kitchen cooler by capturing and containing heat but also reduces noise, making it an ideal choice for busy, high-traffic locations. Here’s how the XLT Ovens and Hood system make a difference at Buttercrust Pizza:

  • Efficient Air Management: The XLT hood system is designed to capture heat efficiently, reducing the amount of hot air pumped into the kitchen. This feature helps keep the kitchen cool, even during peak hours, which is especially valuable in Florida’s warm climate.
  • Reduced Noise for a Better Work Environment: Brianna notes that the hood system offers noise-canceling benefits, making the kitchen quieter and more pleasant for her team. This quieter environment allows staff to communicate more effectively, enhancing overall efficiency.
  • Energy Savings: With the XLT hood, less air conditioning is required to maintain a comfortable kitchen temperature, saving on energy costs. The system captures and contains heat, which minimizes the amount of makeup air needed, making the operation more energy-efficient.
  • Reliable, Consistent Bake Quality: At both Buttercrust locations, XLT’s conveyor pizza ovens deliver the consistent, high-quality bake that customers expect. The conveyorized impingement oven technology ensures that every pizza is cooked evenly, whether it’s a classic or one of Brianna’s unique creations.

Why XLT Ovens are Ideal for Busy Pizzerias

Brianna chose XLT from the start for its reliable equipment and impressive warranty, which allows her to focus on running her business without worrying about maintenance issues. For any pizzeria owner looking to improve kitchen comfort and efficiency, XLT’s conveyor ovens and advanced hood systems provide an excellent solution.

Buttercrust Pizza’s success story demonstrates how XLT Ovens and Hood systems can optimize a kitchen for quality, comfort, and energy efficiency, helping businesses thrive, even in hot climates like Florida.
