The challenge
Staff spent hours daily scrubbing sheet pans, crown molds and mixing bowls, limiting baking output during catch-up windows.
The solution
One CE-UWL per site cleared the afternoon pan load at 20–30 racks/hour, standardized across the chain for simple parts and training.
The outcome
Recovered labour and faster turnaround produced an estimated eight-month payback per unit, with consistent pan hygiene across locations.
Key takeaways
- Hand-scrubbing limited baking output.
- One unit per site cleared the pan load.
- ~8-month payback on labour.
