Test Kitchen Visit - What to Expect?

One day in the kitchen is usually sufficient to become well-versed in the operation of the equipment.

We have found test kitchen sessions to be most productive when your goals for the visit are well defined ahead of time. If you want to know how your menu items will cook in our oven, be sure to bring/send some along. If a demonstration is what you want, that can also be arranged.

Our Corporate Chefs will provide whatever level of service you desire, and are willing to prepare ingredients and dough ahead of time to your specifications. The more we communicate about your interests/goals, the more productive your visit will be. See you here!

What do visitors to the Wood Stone test kitchen have to say?

"I was a little apprehensive at first to come all the way across the country to see oven demos. It was the best trip that I could have possibly made. Not only am I buying the best equipment for my restaurant, I am starting a partnership with great people and a great company. You are all class acts and genuine people. Thank you again for your time, expertise and generous hospitality."

Mark L. Martin - President, Martin Restaurant Group
