Unox EVEREO® is changing the game in professional kitchens

Running a commercial kitchen has never been more complex. Between rising operating costs, increasing consumer expectations, and a shrinking labour pool, chefs and operators are being pushed to do more—with less. This often translates into a higher risk of burnout for chefs and kitchen staff working under constant pressure in professional environments.

Among the most pressing challenges:

• Food waste remains a global issue, with nearly 40% of all food wasted coming from foodservice operations.
• Energy consumption is high, with cooking alone accounting for up to 30% of a kitchen’s utility bill. Additional energy-intensive processes—like traditional refrigeration and food regeneration—only compound the problem, increasing both operational costs and environmental impact.
• Labour shortages continue to affect not just kitchens, but the entire supply chain—making planning, prep, and service increasingly difficult and stressing.
• Limited kitchen space demands smarter, multifunctional equipment.
• And the constant dilemma: speed vs. quality. Fast service is critical, but not at the expense of the culinary experience.

These aren’t minor obstacles—they’re structural challenges that require a bold new approach to how kitchens operate.

EVEREO® is not just another holding cabinet—it’s a technological breakthrough.

Born from years of collaboration between Unox and the University of Parma, EVEREO® is the world’s first professional kitchen equipment capable of keeping cooked food at serving temperature for extended periods—without compromising taste, texture, aroma, or appearance.

The science behind it is called Service Temperature Food Preserving: an innovative, patented technique that holds food at temperatures above the bacterial danger zone. By maintaining cooked meals above 63°C (143.6°F) thanks to a combination of extremely accurate temperature and atmosphere controls, EVEREO® ensures complete microbiological safety while preserving the food’s organoleptic properties. This means that food can be cooked well in advance and kept hot at serving temperature without the need for freezing or regeneration, allowing it to be served within seconds at any time of the day, with zero waiting time for customers.

Its effectiveness has been validated by independent laboratories and field-tested by chefs around the world. With EVEREO®, food stays safe, delicious, and ready to serve—up to 3 days.

EVEREO® is certified by HACCP International—a globally recognized certification that confirms the product complies with internationally accepted HACCP criteria. This makes it suitable for professional kitchens operating under certified food safety protocols, such as those in hotels, restaurants, catering facilities, and healthcare institutions.

EVEREO® was designed with today’s kitchens in mind. More than a hot holding cabinet, it’s a high-performance preservation system that helps chefs and operators overcome their biggest daily hurdles—efficiently, safely, and with zero compromise on quality.

Here’s how EVEREO® meets the moment:

• Food waste? Reduced to zero.

With preservation times of up to 72 hours, unsold meals from today can become tomorrow’s specials—without any loss in taste, texture, or appeal.

• Energy consumption? Cut dramatically.

Thanks to advanced insulation and ultra-precise temperature control, EVEREO® consumes less energy than a standard freezer—while keeping food hot and safe.

• Labour shortages? No problem.

Preparing food in advance and holding it safely at serving temperature means smaller teams can handle peak hours with ease—and no stress.

• 24/7 speed of service? Checked.

In facilities like hotels, hospitals, or dark kitchens, EVEREO® enables continuous service—even 24/7—without the constant presence of a chef in the kitchen.

·      Limited space? Maximized.

Available in three sizes, EVEREO®’s compact design makes it easy to fit into any kitchen layout—big or small—while replacing multiple single-use appliances.

• Speed vs. quality? No more trade-offs.

EVEREO® combines the quality of slow food with the efficiency of fast service. Dishes are ready to serve in seconds—simply plate and present. No kitchen expertise is required.

• Chef’s stress? Dramatically reduced.

During the busiest service hours, kitchen staff can focus on plating and serving rather than last-minute cooking. Dishes are already prepared and kept perfectly hot, reducing stress and the risk of burnout. Technology should support kitchen professionals, allowing them to spend more time on higher-value tasks that enhance quality and customer experience.

Whether you're running a fine dining kitchen, a fast-casual chain, a hotel, or a high-volume catering service, EVEREO® delivers consistency, flexibility, and control—exactly when and where you need it most.

From the elegance of fine dining to the high demands of large-scale catering, EVEREO® has already transformed the workflows of some of the most demanding kitchens around the world. Its flexibility, reliability, and precision make it a natural fit for every sector of the foodservice industry and beyond.

• Hotels & Hospitality

In premium hospitality environments—like London Hilton Metropole, the largest Hilton Hotel outside the United States—EVEREO® supports impeccable service standards, even across complex and high-volume operations. It enables kitchens to prepare ahead, reduce waste, and deliver consistent quality to guests at any time of day. Perhaps most impressively, EVEREO® empowers hotels to offer 24/7 room service: food stays perfectly preserved at serving temperature, ready to be plated by any staff member—even outside the kitchen team.
