Chartwells makes Versa-Gard’s EXO Gen2 line its preferred food protector for its new Pulse On Dining Program
The EXO G2™ Series by Versa-Gard fit the profile of Chartwells’ Pulse On Dining program so perfectly with its modern, contemporary, simplistic style, that the company made it its preferred food protector. It is lightweight, easy-to-clean, adaptable and re-configurable. It was designed with three surface-mount options and three frame profiles. The support structures, mounting hardware and bracketing all are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and are interchangeable for customer configurations. The EXO G2™ line uses flat-tempered glass and optional bent-tempered glass panels, with options for intermediate shelving, side panels and anti-reflective glass panels. It is available in a satin clear, black or dark gray anodized aluminum finish.
Chartwells’ Pulse On Dining program (POD) is an upgraded dining concept being introduced on college campuses nationwide. This interactive dining facility, allows consumers to stay informed via a conveniently located kiosk, which provides access to the Dine On Campus website and gives them a voice via comments submitted on the website or the dining room comment board. The open food-service stations offer the freshest food choices, while the well-trained culinary staff meet special dietary needs of customers and offer periodic interactive cooking demonstrations.
First introduced on the Marywood University campus, installation has just been completed in the new dining facility at Louisiana State University. Ohio Weslayan and Duke University also currently offer Pulse On Dining with other universities soon to follow. Versa-Gard has reserved the EXO Gen2 line exclusively for Chartwells’ Pulse On Dining program.
MEDIA COVERAGE
Catch a glimpse of Versa-Gard’s Europa™ line featured on the cover of the Winter 2007 issue of “Foodservice Equipment Reports Healthcare.”
Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital recently underwent extensive renovations at its facility, including combining all of the hospital’s dining facilities from three floors onto one. The new Mountain View Café boasts extensive food choices in the most convenient setting possible, with an amazing 180˚ view of the Roanoke Valley. The design team took extra measures to ensure optimization of layout and flow, design elements, equipment choices and materials that would stand the test of time and be adaptable to the hospital’s ever-changing needs. Their high standards naturally included food shields from Versa-Gard, chosen for the product’s attractive style and ease of cleaning. The team felt the Versa-Gard Europa™ shields offered maximum food visibility and access, while matching the contemporary décor of the Café.
