Reopening can feel a little overwhelming and stressful, and adjusting to new guidelines might leave you with a little bit of a headache. However, don't fret. We've got the solutions you're in need of. While the world is facing a pandemic and trying to balance safety with a sense of normalcy, Denver-based BSI is hard at work developing and crafting new products specifically adjusted to help ensure you're able to continue serving the public, while promoting the health and well-being of your consumers (as well as your hired team.) \[…\] [High Sabatino](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/author/high-sabatino) Aug 20, 2020 [BSI](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/topic/bsi-blog) [0 Comments](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/bsi-solutions-for-restaurants-opening-after-a-pandemic#comments-listing) [Read More](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/bsi-solutions-for-restaurants-opening-after-a-pandemic) [![](https://blog.highsabatino.com/hubfs/Introducing%20Vitamix%20The%20Quiet%20One%20Twist%20Lock%20Version%20(1).png)](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/meet-the-newest-sibling-in-the-vitamix-family) ## [Meet the Newest Sibling in the Vitamix Family: The Quiet One Twist Lock](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/meet-the-newest-sibling-in-the-vitamix-family) There’s nothing worse than visiting your favorite local coffee shop or speciality smoothie location, and having to pause your conversation because of the loud blender that is used in their kitchen. It’s irritating to customers (we’ve all experienced it!) and it can also hinder the effectiveness and customer service of staff members too.

Guests and customers want that too, but they need to feel safe when going out to eat, and trust that the foodservice staff are taking every necessary precaution to ensure that safety. But the fact of the matter is that we’re still living in a pandemic. Adjusting to that culture and climate has proven to be like a roller coaster. Not many industries have been impacted quite as hard as the foodservice industry. Re-opening and operating restaurants, cafeterias, and other commercial kitchens can be done safely with proper solutions in place. \[…\] [High Sabatino](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/author/high-sabatino) Jul 13, 2020 [MEIKO](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/topic/meiko) [0 Comments](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/stay-safe-from-coronavirus-with-meiko-technology#comments-listing) [Read More](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/stay-safe-from-coronavirus-with-meiko-technology) [![](https://blog.highsabatino.com/hubfs/5%20Things%20Bally%20Vlog.png)](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/5-things-to-know-when-specifying-a-bally-refrigerated-box) ## [5 Things to Know When Specifying a Bally Refrigerated Box](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/5-things-to-know-when-specifying-a-bally-refrigerated-box) Not all refrigerated walk-ins are the same. And when it comes to choosing the right combination of features for your refrigerated walk-in cooler or freezer, it may seem overwhelming. Am I getting the right size? Is the refrigeration equipment efficient enough? What about the look of it? Will it stick out like a sore thumb, or can I get a custom look and feel to match my commercial kitchen's aesthetic? If you've ever asked a question like this, you're not alone! At High Sabatino, we have decades of experience helping to specify refrigerated walk-ins like a Bally refrigerated box for our customers, and along the way, we've heard enough similar questions that we wanted to help answer them in one place. \[…\] [High Sabatino](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/author/high-sabatino) Jun 26, 2020 [Bally](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/topic/bally) [0 Comments](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/5-things-to-know-when-specifying-a-bally-refrigerated-box#comments-listing) [Read More](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/5-things-to-know-when-specifying-a-bally-refrigerated-box) [![](https://blog.highsabatino.com/hubfs/Canva%20-%20Regal%20Pan%20Pizza%20on%20Box.jpg)](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/how-pizza-places-suddenly-became-an-industry-leader) ## [How Pizza Places Suddenly Became an Industry Leader](https://blog.highsabatino.com/blog/how-pizza-places-suddenly-became-an-industry-leader) Pizza has always been a popular choice amongst those looking for a quick, affordable, last-minute dinner.
