Bakery Equipment Demonstrations

A Hands-On Approach

We offer a hands-on, consultative approach towards selling bakery equipment. We strive to provide a worry-free purchasing experience without hesitation of regrets. As a result, we offer equipment demonstrations as a recommended part of our purchasing experience. This includes both in-person and remote testing options.

Discover What Works Best

The Baker’s Lab is a complete showroom and test facility that allows bakers to discover and experience a wide variety of baking equipment options that are available for purchase.

Bakers are able to interact with both our team and equipment to find what will work best. Regardless of what product your bakery prepares, we will try our absolute best to find a solution that can help address your production requirements.

On-Staff Technical Baker

All demonstrations are supervised by our experienced, on-staff technical baker who can provide greater insight regarding your demonstration and methodologies.

Proof of Concept

Our demonstration process also enables bakers to conduct a proof of concept when it comes to mechanizing and automating production. This is extremely helpful when transitioning from an all manual production method to mechanized methods. This also includes a detailed test report.

Remote Testing & Virtual Demonstrations

We happily accommodate customers who are unable to visit the Baker’s Lab in person. Clients can send us their recipe and ingredients for a demonstration on the equipment they are interested in purchasing.

We also provide video footage of the demonstration as well as a detailed test report completed by our on staff technical baker.
