Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the supply of a large amount of food or drink at a time in optimum state, by cooking the food or drink in a lamp in a manner to attain the optimum cooked state at the stage delivered to the consumer. CONSTITUTION:A food or drink raw material is subjected to the basic cooking to obtain a semi-cooked food or drink which attains the optimum taste after leaving for several hours and the semi-cooked food or drink is cooked in a lump in a centralized cooking center. The cooked food or drink is packed in a heat-retaining pack keeping the food or drink from the direct contact with outer atmosphere and the pack is put into a hand container wagon having heat-retaining structure. The wagon is transported to the distribution spot with a heat-insulated car and stored in a heat-retaining stocker. The food or drink is delivered to the consumer in the state packed in the heat-retaining pack.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a food/beverage supply system, and relates to a system for easily providing a large amount of food/beverage products in an appropriate state, that is, in a completed state as a food/beverage product. .

[Background of the invention]

When selling food and beverages over the counter or supplying them in large quantities at the same time at factories, schools, etc., conventional methods have been to transport the mass-produced food to stores, cafeterias, etc. and supply it as needed, or to cook it at the store, cafeteria, etc. A method of supplying items on the spot is being used.

However, with these methods, in the case of the former, the food is already mass-produced and is in a suitable state, which is the so-called ready-to-eat state, and is supplied at a different location after several hours have passed, so consumers and customers do not have to worry about the loss of taste. You end up eating food that is in an inappropriate state and that you want to cool down. In the latter case, there are problems in that it requires a lot of manpower and there is a limit to the number of supplies.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention aims to save labor and simultaneously supply large quantities of food and drink products in appropriate conditions at low prices.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention centrally cooks unfinished foods and drinks at a central cooking center so that they are in a proper state after several hours, packs the foods and drinks in thermal packs, and stores them in a container wagon with a thermal insulation structure that can be moved by hand. The gist of this is a food and drink supply system in which a container wagon is transported to a hot water supply facility using a heat-insulated vehicle, the container wagon is placed in a heat-insulating stocker at the hot water supply facility, and the food and beverages are supplied in the heat-insulating pack.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Below, we will explain the embodiments of the present invention in detail.Firstly, in the centralized cooking center, the cooking is in an unfinished state, that is, the basic stage of cooking has been completed, but the taste itself is in a state where it is best to leave it in the cold for several hours. Cook. This cooking technique has already been developed and is being served as a main dish in in-flight meals by airlines around the world. Therefore, although the details of the cooking method will be omitted, the present invention employs a centralized cooking system that can prepare large quantities of food and provide multiple types of menu items all at once at low cost.

Next, the cooked food and drinks are packed into thermal packs on the spot and stored in a container wagon with a thermal insulation structure. Since the final product is provided to consumers in its thermal pack, food and beverages are
It is not exposed directly to the outside air after being packed in a thermal pack. Moreover, it is transported while being stored in a container wagon,
Since it is placed in the supply hot water supply area as a container wagon, it does not come into contact with human hands and does not cause problems in terms of hygiene management. Container wagons have a heat-retaining structure, so they can be transported to remote locations using heat-retaining vehicles, and placed in heat-insulating stockers at supply stations to prevent loss of heat immediately after cooking and supply food and drinks to consumers in a warm state. It becomes possible. Furthermore, by continuing this heat-retaining state, it is possible to promote what is called a resting state, from unfinished cooking to proper cooking.

Since the container wagon has a structure that can be moved by hand, it is possible to smoothly and quickly carry out operations before and after transporting the container in the warming vehicle, and placing the container in the warming stocker at the supply hot water station.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In this way, the present invention allows food and beverages that are configured to be optimally cooked at the stage of being supplied to consumers to be delivered to consumers with minimal human effort after passing through the cooking stage. can do.

What's more, it has the unprecedented effect of being able to keep the food as warm as if it had been cooked in a hot water supply facility. Therefore, it has become possible to temporarily supply large amounts of food to school lunches, company cafeterias, etc.

In addition, high-quality food and beverages such as airline in-flight meals can be provided by taking advantage of the quality, making it possible to supply a large amount of menus with an unprecedented variety.

Claims (1)

[Claims] Intensive cooking of unfinished food and drink in a central cooking center so that it reaches the proper state after several hours, and the food and drink is packed in a heat-retaining pack and placed in a container wagon with a heat-retaining structure that can be moved by hand. This is a food and beverage supply system in which the container wagon is stored and transported to a supply hotspot using a heat-insulating vehicle, and the container wagon is placed in a heat-insulating stocker at the hot water facility to supply the food in the heat-insulating pack.
