Awarded one of the seven Master Chef status’ by the Australian Culinary Federation, George Fouskarinis has earned this title through years of painstaking hard work to deliver consistent quality food that innovates and excites. Now in his new role catering for the SCG, Allianz Stadium as well as Perth’s WACA and Patterson Stadium, George wanted to bring this same consistent quality food to a stadium setting.

George outlines his vision. “We want to do restaurant quality food in a stadium; it’s the same as what I’d do in a 5-star hotel or top restaurant. But here we have to do it across multiple locations simultaneously.”

In Sydney, George manages 100 chefs cooking in a kitchen of 12,000sq m to provide all the fine cuisine for the dining rooms and corporate areas, whereby he must work within budget while delivering quality and consist food that limits wastage and can be expedited quickly.

With only one production kitchen to serve 127 other kitchens across both stadiums, George sought out Comcater to find a solution. The answer was multiple 20 and 40 tray RATIONAL SelfCookingCenter® units.

“When I have this kind of operation to manage I can’t experiment with equipment. I need RATIONAL because it’s tried and tested. I can rely on it to deliver the volume I need and even when we are at our busiest, I can rely on it to perform.”

The multiple RATIONAL SelfCookingCenter® units help to streamline production by producing large volumes of food quickly and consistently. George only wishes there was a RATIONAL in every kitchen.

“Whether the dishes are cooked or finished around the different dining rooms, they need to go through an oven. If they were all RATIONAL, I’d be happy.”
