Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Willow Tree Deli" in Canterbury needed a simple, low-cost way to expand their lunchtime menu beyond sandwiches and  soups. They chose the Modena RCM1 for its plug-and-play setup and  compact size, allowing them to create a small 'crepe corner' without a major kitchen refit.

"We were up and  running in an afternoon. The machine is so straightforward, and  customers love watching their crepes being made fresh. It’s given our menu a real lift and  attracts a different crowd, especially families and  students."

Robert Davies – Owner

The deli saw a 30% increase in their average lunchtime spend from customers adding a crepe to their order.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  heat-resistant countertop with good ventilation around the unit.
  • Before first use, season the cooking plate by wiping a thin layer of cooking oil on it and  heating for 10-15 minutes. Let it cool and  wipe away any excess.
  • Ensure the 13 amp plug can reach the socket without stretching the cable.
  • Run a couple of 'tester' crepes to get a feel for the heat settings with your batter.

Keeping It Going

  • Always allow the machine to cool down completely before cleaning.
  • Wipe the cooking surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive scourers which can damage the plate.
  • Use the included wooden spreader or other non-metal utensils to protect the cooking surface from scratches.
  • Regularly wipe down the stainless steel body to maintain a professional, hygienic appearance.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Crepe Maker

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few pointers to help you find the perfect crepe maker for your business.

Plate Size & Shape

A 400mm round plate is the industry standard, great for large, foldable crepes. Smaller plates are available but can limit your presentation options.

Power Source

Electric models like this one are brilliant for indoor use and  portability as they just need a standard socket. Gas is great for outdoor catering where power is an issue.

Single vs. Double Plates

A single plate crepe maker is perfect for most cafés and  start-ups. If you anticipate very high demand or run a specialist crepe bar, a double model will double your output.

Plate Material

Most commercial plates are cast iron, which offers fantastic heat retention and  distribution for consistent cooking once seasoned properly.

Ease of Use & Cleaning

Look for simple controls, clear indicators, and  smooth, stainless steel bodies. The less time you spend cleaning, the more time you spend serving.

How Precise Temperature Control Delivers the Perfect Crepe

You might see 'Temperature Range: 50-300°C' and  just think 'hot'. But the real magic is in the control it gives you. Think of it like a professional gas hob versus a simple camping stove. The wide, adjustable range allows you to find the absolute 'sweet spot' for your specific batter mix. A few degrees too hot and  you get burnt edges with a raw middle; a few degrees too cool and  you get a pale, tough crepe.

This thermostatic control acts like a guardian for your quality. Once you find that perfect temperature, it holds it consistently. This means the first crepe of the day is just as golden and  delicious as the last one of a busy service. It’s the key to taking the guesswork out of the process, ensuring every single customer gets that perfect, delicate result you’re aiming for.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Cafés: Easily add a high-margin sweet and  savoury food option with a very small footprint.
  • Dessert Parlours: The perfect foundation for creating decadent, Instagram-worthy loaded crepes that customers will love.
  • Mobile Caterers & Market Stalls: Its simple plug-in power and  robust build make it ideal for events and  festivals.
  • Hotels & Event Venues: Elevate your breakfast buffet or event catering with a fun, interactive live cooking station.
