The Group's principal activities are to design, develop and market proprietary cooking systems. These technologies provide foodservice operators the flexibility to cook-to-order a variety of foods items at speed, which are faster than those permitted by conventional commercial ovens. The proprietary systems include TurboCom, a centralized cook setting system, which, through the use of a computer modem, can reprogram TurboChef ovens installed in various restaurant locations from a single central site. Commercial cooking systems are marketed under the name of TurboChef, TornadoT82, a food preparation management system, which can be incorporated into a restaurant's existing electronic order processing system, sort the items to be cooked by required cook times, and indicate, on real-time basis, when such food items are to be inserted into TurboChef oven.
