Project Results
This field study tests the universal holding cabinets (UHC) for the McDonald’s restaurant chain. In addition, testing includes a new high-density (UHC-HD) universal holding cabinet. Southern California Edison’s Design and Engineering Services organization conducted the study through their Foodservice Technology Center. The 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 four columns and three rows with the ability to cook and hold 12 menu items. The new UHC-HD is configured to have four columns and six 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, where three UHC units were used previously.
