Speed Kitchen Episode 1: Bar Snacks Made Simple with the TurboChef Cibo+

Taylor UK is excited to introduce Speed Kitchen, our new video series designed to showcase fast, simple and effective hot food ideas using professional rapid cook ovens.

In the first episode, Chef Farris demonstrates how easy it can be to expand your hot food menu using the TurboChef Cibo+ rapid cook oven. The focus for this episode is on popular bar snacks, including loaded nachos and chicken wings — two customer favourites that are ideal for pubs, bars, cafés, coffee shops, hotels, convenience stores and quick-service foodservice operators.

For many businesses, adding hot food can feel like a big step. It often raises questions about space, staffing, training, extraction, consistency and speed of service. The TurboChef Cibo+ helps simplify that process, giving operators a compact and efficient way to serve high-quality hot food without overcomplicating the kitchen.

Why bar snacks are a great opportunity

Bar snacks and small plates continue to be a strong opportunity for hospitality and foodservice businesses. They are easy for customers to add to an order, work well as sharing options and can help increase average spend across the day and into the evening.

Items such as nachos, chicken wings, loaded fries, toasted sandwiches, pizza slices and other hot snacks can give customers another reason to stay longer, order more and return more often.

For pubs and bars, a simple hot food offer can support drinks sales and help create a more complete customer experience. For cafés and coffee shops, it can open up new dayparts and provide an easy way to move beyond coffee, cakes and cold food. For convenience stores and food-to-go operators, it can help increase the appeal of the hot food counter without requiring a full kitchen setup.

Introducing the TurboChef Cibo+

TurboChef CiBO+

The TurboChef Cibo+ is a compact commercial rapid cook oven designed to deliver fast, consistent cooking results in busy foodservice environments.

Using rapid cook technology, the Cibo+ is ideal for operators who want to serve hot food quickly, consistently and with minimal training. It is particularly well suited to businesses that want to expand their menu but may not have the space, staff or operational setup for a traditional commercial kitchen.

The oven’s simple operation makes it easier for staff to prepare menu items consistently, helping businesses maintain quality even during busy service periods.

The episode highlights how easy it can be to introduce hot food items that customers already know and love. With the right equipment, operators can add menu variety, improve service speed and create new revenue opportunities without making food preparation complicated.

Ideal for pubs, bars, cafés and foodservice operators

The TurboChef Cibo+ is a strong choice for a wide range of businesses, including:

• Pubs and bars looking to add or expand a hot food menu

• Cafés and coffee shops wanting to serve more savoury options

Add hot food without adding complexity

One of the biggest advantages of a rapid cook oven like the TurboChef Cibo+ is its ability to make foodservice simpler.

Instead of relying on complex cooking processes or highly skilled kitchen staff, businesses can create pre-set cooking programmes for consistent results. This helps reduce training requirements, supports repeatable quality and makes it easier for team members to prepare food during busy trading periods.

For operators looking to introduce items such as nachos, chicken wings, toasted wraps, paninis, hot sandwiches, flatbreads, pastries or snacks, the Cibo+ can provide a simple way to get started.

Whether you run a pub, café, bar, hotel, convenience store or foodservice business, the TurboChef Cibo+ could help you add simple, profitable hot food options to your menu.

Taylor UK supplies a range of TurboChef rapid cook ovens designed to help foodservice operators serve hot food quickly, consistently and efficiently.
