Project Results
The Foodservice Technology Center (FTC) and Design & Engineering Services (DES) performed a series of field tests on McDonald’s current universal holding cabinets (UHC) and new high-density universal holding cabinets (UHC-HD). Field studies determined potential energy savings for deployment within McDonald’s restaurants throughout the country. Currently, McDonald’s uses three UHC units per store. The units are configured to have columns and 3 rows with the ability to cook and hold 12 menu items. The new UHC-HD is configured to have columns and 6 rows with the ability to cook and hold 18 menu items. With the increased ability to cook and hold more menu items, only two UHC-HD units are needed per store.
