How Burkett Helped

Recognizing high-volume demands, versatility needs, and energy efficiency goals, we evaluated areas like cooking capacity, serving workflow, preservation, and cleanability.

Zink helped us ensure every piece matched both the operator’s specifications and the physical layout. One significant pain point was the need for equipment that could withstand intense throughput yet maintain food quality and minimize energy use.

To address this, we chose equipment recognized for reliability, performance, and efficiency. Each piece was carefully matched to Amazon Air Hub’s scale, pace, and food safety requirements, while ensuring smooth operations across its specialized kitchen environments.
