The Optima RS cart is an innovative heated and refrigerated food cart developed to maintain hot and cold food temperatures. The design of the unique single tray system enables the delivery of plated meals on a one piece tray.

The Optima RS is the result of years of research and development, competitor benchmarking, and over 25 years of industry leading innovation and manufacturing. Burlodge has created the optimal solution for food service professionals. The Optima RS will keep meal components at serving temperature (both hot and cold) during holding in the kitchen, transport, and service.

Compared to traditional induction pellet systems, the Optima RS does not require specific tray ware components, specific support equipment, or heavy heated pellets. Moreover, the Optima RS keeps food cold without having to add expensive and clunky chill packs or cold base containers. It is an all-in-one solution. Plug it in, load your trays, hold in the kitchen, transport when ready and serve. You can even plug the Optima RS in at patient service levels to ensure food is kept hot and cold.
