Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Waffle Stop," a popular seafront kiosk in Aberystwyth, needed to upgrade from a domestic machine that couldn't handle the summer tourist rush. They needed a reliable, professional waffle maker single plate that could produce consistent results quickly.

"The Roller Grill machine has been brilliant. The waffles are perfect every single time, and  the speed means we can serve the queue so much faster. Our customers have noticed the difference in quality, and  our stress levels have definitely gone down!"

Cerys Jones – Owner

After installing the GES20, The Waffle Stop successfully increased their waffle output by over 50% during peak weekend hours, significantly boosting their daily takings.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Place the unit on a flat, stable, and  heat-resistant countertop with plenty of ventilation.
  • Before first use, it's crucial to season the cast iron plates. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, which usually involves lightly oiling and  heating the plates.
  • Simply plug it into a standard 13A wall socket – no special wiring is needed.
  • Always allow the machine to pre-heat for the full 10 minutes to ensure the plates are at the optimal cooking temperature.

Keeping It Going

  • After you've finished for the day, use the supplied wire brush to gently remove any baked-on crumbs from the plates.
  • Wipe the stainless steel body with a soft, damp cloth and  a mild detergent. Never submerge the unit in water.
  • Avoid using metal utensils which could scratch or damage the seasoned surface of the plates.
  • Regularly check and  empty the removable drip tray to prevent overflow and  maintain hygiene.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Waffle Maker

Not sure which waffle maker is the right fit for your business? Here are a few key things to keep in mind.

Plate Material Matters

Cast iron offers superior heat retention for authentic results, while non-stick is often easier for beginners to clean. For high-volume, quality-focused kitchens, cast iron is usually the professional's choice.

Single vs. Double

A single unit like the GES20 is perfect for most cafés and  restaurants. If you have extremely high demand, like a dedicated waffle house, you might consider a double unit to maximise your output.

Waffle Shape & Style

This model creates the classic deep-pocketed Liege or Brussels style Belgian waffles. Ensure this is the style your customers are after, as opposed to thinner, American-style waffles.

Check Your Power

Always check the power requirements. A 13A plug is great as it works in any standard UK socket, but more powerful machines might need hardwiring by an electrician.

Temperature Control

A wide temperature range gives you the flexibility to perfect your recipe. Different batters (e.g., buttermilk, gluten-free) can require slightly different temperatures for the best results.

Why Cast Iron Plates Mean Perfect Waffles, Every Time

Ever wonder what gives a professional Belgian waffle that unbelievably even, golden-brown crust? The secret is in the cast iron plates. Think of it like cooking a steak: a thin, cheap frying pan develops hot spots and  gives you an uneven cook, whereas a heavy, seasoned cast iron skillet delivers a perfect sear from edge to edge. It's all about thermal retention. The GES20's thick cast iron plates soak up heat and  hold onto it, creating a powerful, consistent cooking surface. When you pour your batter, there are no cool spots, meaning the entire waffle cooks at the same rate. This is what gives you that signature crispy exterior while the inside stays wonderfully light and  fluffy—the mark of a truly great commercial Belgian waffle machine.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Dessert Parlours: Ideal for creating high-margin, show-stopping waffle creations that draw in customers for an evening treat.
  • Boutique Cafés: A fantastic way to upgrade your brunch menu with authentic, premium waffles that command a higher price.
