HERSHEY, Pa., Aug. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Curate, a leading innovator in commercial kitchen and dining solutions, is proud to showcase its Mobile Equipment Lab (MEL), a fully-equipped, state-of-the-art kitchen on wheels designed to bring the latest in kitchen technology and equipment directly to customers across the East Coast.
MEL represents a significant investment in Curate's ongoing mission to provide unmatched convenience, accessibility, and innovation in the commercial kitchen industry. This mobile lab allows foodservice professionals to experience Curate's cutting-edge products firsthand, without the need to travel to a physical location. Whether for demonstrations, testing, or training, MEL transforms how chefs, restaurateurs, and kitchen managers interact with new equipment.
"The Mobile Equipment Lab is a game-changer for our clients," said Curate's President, Katie Stowe.

MEL is the next evolution of that commitment, enabling us to deliver a fully immersive, hands-on experience directly to our clients' doorsteps."
Executive Vice President of Curate Jeff Hessel created MEL because he recognized the growing demand for more accessible, personalized kitchen solutions. "Our goal with MEL was to remove the barriers that often exist when customers consider new equipment," Hessel explained. "By bringing the kitchen to them, we not only save them time and effort but also provide a real-world environment where they can see exactly how our equipment will perform in their own operations."
