I'll list few reasons for you to look into buying autofry or similar ventless fryer (below) - so you do not feel so bad for spending wad of cash for AutoFry.

1. Guests love appetizers, so do you (you have to agree on that-1) - they are super way to boost your sales / increase your ticket sales. Trouble is that 80% of those appetizers you plan adding to your menu are prepared by frying. So, you may be thinking about getting a fryer. That is it for reason #1.

2. Cost to install regular fryer (the way the Health Dept. requires) is insane in 99% of situations. You can buy decent used fryer for as low as $50, but the cost of making it return that $50 investment to you (and furthermore; make you a profit - as the sole reason you installing fryers at the first place) may cost you thousands. I am talking about necessary and law required drawings, permits, hood, Ansul (fire-suppression system), vents, fans, installation and whatever else may arise on the way. You may call yourself lucky (very lucky) if there was such an installation done in the place of your business (or left from past business owners).

3. I spent years working in and running restaurant businesses. I remember my hands being constantly burned by oven or from fryers oil. Vent-less fryers, grease-less fryers, actually the AutoFry(er)'s will decrease number of your employee's burn related injuries. That will not decrease your insurance costs (of course) but will keep the same from sky-rocketing (due to a stop on constant burn injuries claims). Using AutoFry, your employees will not have direct contact with hot oil. All they have to do is load product into front-entry chute, click on start and scoop-up (I mean: serve) cooked product (that AutoFry will kick-out to a side tray when finished cooking). SWEEEEEET!

4. Ever tasted appetizer coming out of oven? (versus coming from fryer) - 1 word (that usually comes from your guests): DRY.

5. Ever waited for cooking tray of chicken wings to appear from another side of conveyor oven? It takes, like... forever... and I mean it: 8-10min. is like "forever" for your guests. That food is usually uncooked because you can not wait for it forever, so after few minutes of baking, you "fish it out" from that belt/oven cooking chamber before it even appears out (thank you Lord for the finishing ovens!). It take AutoFry 3-4 minutes to cook the same food. And 1 more thing: food coming out of AutoFry tastes good.

6. Cheese pizza served with "savoring" flavor of onion rings or chicken wings (that you just run trough the same oven prior baking the pizza in same oven) may not be well welcomed by your guests. You may also "waste" valuable space of your pizza oven by overcrowding it with 20 small appetizer trays (again, to be baked for 3 X longer than it takes in AutoFry).

7. Prepare fries, cheese sticks, wings, veal, veggie poppers, chicken cutlets, eggplant, calamari, fish filets, fried ravioli like a pro with AutoFry.

Hope this helps! And, please, if this was helpful, do not forget to rate it like that - so you give me a boost to write more reviews and help someone else with my next review. Thank you & best of luck!!!
