Commercial Fryers (Pressure & Open)

Commercial Ovens & Combi Ovens
Henny Penny’s FlexFusion® combi ovens and SpaceSaver™ models combine convection and steam for precise cooking. Perfect for roasting, baking, steaming, and retherming—ideal for Toronto’s high-throughput kitchens.
Commercial Coffee Machines
Franke® super-automatic coffee systems like the A600 and A800 deliver barista-quality beverages at scale. They’re built for hotel lobbies, QSRs, and self-serve stations where speed, consistency, and cleanliness matter most.
Commercial Grills
Taylor® clamshell grills improve cook speed and portion consistency while reducing labour needs—key advantages for high-volume breakfast and burger operations in downtown Toronto.
Commercial Air Fryers
LightFry® 12C air fryers deliver crispy, golden results with no oil. They use 50 % less energy than traditional fryers and support healthier, eco-friendly menu positioning.
Frozen Beverage & Dessert Equipment
From soft-serve machines and slush machines to milkshake and gelato machines, Taylor’s lineup helps operators tap into 70–80 % margin frozen treat programs proven across Canadian QSRs and c-stores.
