How to Cut Oil Use by 40% with Henny Penny Deep Fryers

Deep fryers are the workhorses of many Canadian kitchens, but not all fryers are built the same. Old or inefficient models waste oil, overcook food, and drain profits. Henny Penny’s commercial deep fryers are engineered to flip that script, delivering perfectly crispy results while using up to 40% less oil. That can mean thousands of dollars in savings annually.

For more than 60 years, TFI Food Equipment Solutions has helped foodservice operators across Ontario and Atlantic Canada optimize their kitchens with smarter, more profitable equipment. Whether you're running a QSR, café, or high-volume franchise, TFI brings you commercial fryers that reduce costs and elevate quality.

The Importance of Operational Efficiency in Foodservice

In the foodservice industry, operational efficiency is integral to maintaining profitability amid rising ingredient costs and intense market competition. With restaurants facing narrow margins, often ranging from 3% to 5% according to a report by the National Restaurant Association, understanding how to operate more efficiently can mean the difference between thriving and merely surviving.

How Operational Efficiency Affects Profit Margins

Operational efficiency refers to the ability of a restaurant to deliver quality food and service with minimal waste and optimal resource utilization. When operations are streamlined, businesses can reduce costs associated with labor, inventory, and utilities. According to Investopedia, restaurants in the food and beverage sector can notably benefit from higher profit margins by better managing operational costs, which ultimately leads to increased profitability.

In high-volume kitchens, such as those employing deep fryers, enhancing operational efficiency minimizes not just oil consumption but also food waste. For example, restaurants that regularly analyze operational workflows can decrease overhead costs, thus improving their overall profit margins by promoting faster table turnover and better customer satisfaction.
