The Flying Joe

Perrysburg, OH

Burkett supported The Flying Joe’s remodel by recommending and supplying reliable refrigeration, prep, and cooking solutions tailored to a busy café environment. By aligning the equipment package with their layout and service needs, we helped create an efficient, future-ready back-of-house operation.
