Rieber’s CONNECT system supports Rieber equipment such as the K-Pot electric chafing dish and Multipolar Refrigeration.
CONNECT links Rieber light and heavy equipment to a mobile phone and includes HACCP and cooking programs for added efficiency.
CONNECT will switch on the Rieber K-Pot to cook fresh food or regenerate chilled or frozen foods, with digital controlled temperature accurate to within one degree. The system satisfies HACCP and hygiene regulations by recording temperature and time.
Tailored cooking programs mean virtually any type of food, from slow-cooked or simmered foods such as shepherd’s pie, curries, and buffet food, can be safely and successfully regenerated.

“The Rieber CONNECT system combined with Rieber equipment such as eatTAINABLE reusable GN containers, K-Pot and Multipolar is at the forefront of sustainable technology driven catering,” says Gareth Newton, MD, BGL Rieber.
“This is just the start. CONNECT means food can be safely regenerated for use anywhere there is electric power.
“No special skills needed; CONNECT, K-Pot and Multipolar are the expertise. Labour is saved. Food is served safely and hygienically and when the customer wants it.
“CONNECT identifies the customer, as well as the food, HACCP trail, price point, pick up location and what is returned as waste, which can be weighed, recorded, and actioned with alarms if it falls outside of chosen parameters.”
