The Boozy Brunch

The Barfly 5-Piece Cocktail Mixing Set (M37131) gives you everything you need shake and stir craft cocktails for your day-drinking brunch-goers. This coordinated basic set includes an 18 oz. and 28 oz. Cocktail Shaker Set, 17 oz. Mixing Glass, 1 x 2 oz. Japanese Jigger, 13 3/16" Japanese Bar Spoon, and a Heavy-Duty Spring Bar Strainer.

Jazz up your brunch cocktails with the Tablecraft Ultimate Garnish Station™. This dishwasher safe station has one 1-quart and four 1-pint removable bins for storing lemons, olives, cherries, and other garnishes, all of which can be covered and protected with a translucent, flip-down lid. 

On either side of the 24 ¾" x 7 ¼" x 6 ¼" station is a 2 compartment caddy with a total of 4 compartments for cocktail picks, stirrers, and umbrellas.

The Self-Service Brunch

Hatco pop-up toasters are economical, fast, dependable, and portable. They’re attractive for front of house use, and the familiar pop-up styling also makes them ideal for self-serve use—even for the day drinkers. 

Four extra-wide, 1.25" thick slots fit and evenly toast a wide variety of sliced breads, bagels, Texas toast, English muffins, and waffles. Individual controls make it easy to adjust the browning for each item toasted. A removable crumb tray make it easy to clean.

TableCraft stainless steel Roll Top Chafers with Window features a window that allows guests to see what’s inside without opening the chafer. Lids close slowly and softly for quiet opening and closing and easier replenishment. Each chafer is made for use with canned fuel and is stackable for storage. 

With stylish finishes, various capacity options, and multiple heat sources, you'll find the perfect TableCraft chafer for your buffet.

Elegantly and ergonomically designed for comfortable serving front of house, Holden Collection™Tools by TableCraft go right in the dishwasher after use, reducing cleanup time. 

This stainless steel collection has mirror finish heads and brushed finish handles that are hollow for balance and light weight.

If a buffet line isn’t a standard fixture in your operation, which it probably isn’t, a freestanding sneeze guard can quickly convert your tabletop space into a protected serving area. 

Hatco’s Flav-R-Shield® Portable Adjustable Sneeze Guard was designed specifically for flexible and portable self-service applications such as buffets. It’s stylish and functional, folds down and stacks flat for easy, space-saving storage when you don’t need it.

The Action Station Brunch

Induction ranges are ideal for front of house use since they don’t have an open flame, and their cooking surface remains safe to touch. 

The Hatco Rapide Cuisine® Countertop Induction Range will bring your made-to-order omelet or pasta station to life. Its contemporary, low-profile design is elegant, yet tough. Built inside and out to handle the demands of commercial foodservice use, its Magnetic Power System delivers the highest power in its class. 

The Hatco Round Decorative Carving Station provides a great-looking and functional carving display while supporting proper food serving temperatures with a heated simulated stone base and a telescoping heated lamp. 

Posts and heat lamp shade are available in Bright Nickel (standard), Bright Brass, Bright Copper, Antique Brass, and Antique Bronze Plated finishes. The heated base is available in all simulated stone colors (standard Night Sky) to match your décor.

Equip your carving station with a Mercer Culinary Renaissance 10" Carving Knife for quick, clean slicing. 

Designed for comfort and balance with a rounded spine and a triple riveted, ergonomically designed Delrin® handle, a taper ground edge allows for added stability, easy honing, long lasting sharpness, and efficient cutting and chopping. High-carbon German cutlery steel resists rust, corrosion, and discoloration.

Renaissance Scoop Neck Jackets by Mercer Culinary keep your team comfortable and looking sharp in crisp, professional style both front and back-of-house. 

The double-breasted jacket features 12 cloth-covered buttons, drop shoulders for enhanced range of motion, and a utility shoulder pocket. Side slits, underarm air vents and a broad selection of men’s sizes ranging from extra small to 5x and women’s sizes extra-extra small to 3x provide a comfortable fit for your entire culinary team. 

The Chicken and Waffles Brunch

The Hatco/Suntec Flip Waffle Maker was designed for many hours of continuous, everyday use. This flip waffle maker features an exclusive heating element design and 180° swivel mechanism that provides exceptional heat distribution throughout the entire cooking plate to make evenly cooked Belgian waffles in minutes. Fast initial heat up time, excellent heat retention and recovery deliver high productivity and consistent results.

Merco CrispyMax Crisp and Ready Serving Station helps keep your chicken crispy and waffle-worthy with a perforated, open well that allows air to circulate around the food product. 

An effective holding solution for keeping food crispy and at the right temperature while preserving its overall quality, CrispyMax can also be used for a wide range of products including fries, nachos, and chicken tenders. Countertop and drop-in CrispyMax models are available in four sizes that are user-friendly, quick to heat up, and easy to clean.
