Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Dog, a popular seaside cafe in Brighton, was struggling to keep up with demand for their signature burgers during the summer rush. Hand-pattying was inconsistent and slow, creating a bottleneck in their kitchen.
"We needed to speed up our prep without sacrificing the 'handmade' quality our customers love. The Buffalo press was the answer. It’s simple, quick, and every patty is identical."
Susan Clarke – Head Chef
After implementing the press, The Salty Dog reduced their burger prep time by 30%, allowing them to increase their service speed and serve more customers during peak hours.

- Pop a stack of 100mm wax paper discs into the separator hopper to speed up your workflow.
Keeping It Going

- Hand-wash all components with warm, soapy water. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners to protect the finish.

Explore more from BuffaloHow the Burger Separator Hopper Streamlines Your Prep
You'll notice a small, simple attachment on the top of this burger press – that's the built-in burger separator hopper. But what does it actually do? Think of it as a dispenser for your wax paper discs. Instead of fumbling with a stack of papers, you load them into the hopper, and it presents one perfectly every time you need it. After you press a patty, you simply slide a disc on top before pressing the next one. This means your freshly made burgers don't stick together, making them easy to stack, store, and grab for the grill. It's a small detail that turns a repetitive task into a smooth, efficient workflow.
