Modern commercial kitchens are evolving rapidly, and one of the most important shifts is the growing use of touchless and automated commercial kitchen equipment. Driven by health regulations, labor shortages, and the demand for greater efficiency, more restaurants, hotels, and foodservice businesses are now turning to technology to reduce contamination risks and improve hygiene.
At Mariot Kitchen Equipment dubai, we’re proud to provide cutting-edge solutions that help businesses across the UAE run safer, cleaner, and more efficient operations. From automatic taps and soap dispensers to AI-powered combi ovens and sensor-based cooking systems, touchless and automated equipment is transforming how professional kitchens function.
Why Touchless and Automated Equipment Matters
In a busy kitchen, the fewer surfaces your staff have to touch, the lower the risk of cross-contamination and disease transmission. This was especially critical during the pandemic and continues to be a top concern for health authorities in Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi.
Automation also helps maintain consistent food quality, reduce human error, and improve speed. Whether you’re operating a fine dining restaurant or a central kitchen producing hundreds of meals daily, automation and touchless tech give you a competitive edge.
Common Touchless Equipment in Modern Kitchens
1. Sensor-Activated Faucets and Sinks
Automatic hand wash stations and dishwashing prep sinks are now standard in HACCP-compliant kitchens. These reduce water waste and prevent bacteria transfer from hands to faucet handles. Mariot supplies stainless steel handwash basins with built-in sensors, available in wall-mount or freestanding units.
2. Automatic Soap and Sanitizer Dispensers
Installed in prep zones, dish areas, and service counters, these dispensers are essential for ensuring compliance with local health authority requirements. Our units come in stainless steel or ABS plastic with adjustable volume settings.
3. Touchless Hand Dryers
These energy-efficient dryers reduce paper waste while keeping handwashing areas hygienic and uncluttered.
4. Motion-Sensor Waste Bins
Touch-free waste bins are now essential in prep zones. They reduce germ transmission and help maintain a clean working environment. We offer stainless steel and pedal-free options ideal for both front and back of house.
Automation in Cooking and Food Prep Equipment
1. Programmable Combi Ovens
Advanced ovens can now recognize cooking patterns, auto-adjust humidity and temperature, and even notify chefs via mobile apps when a dish is done. Mariot supplies top global brands of combi ovens with touchscreen controls and smart features that reduce labor and improve consistency.
2. Smart Grills and Fryers
Modern electric and gas grills feature automated timers, temperature sensors, and preset programs for different food types. Fryers now come with oil quality sensors, automatic basket lifters, and filtration systems to reduce waste and maintain consistent results.
3. Automatic Food Prep Equipment
Dough mixers with preset modes, vegetable cutters with programmable speeds, and meat slicers with auto-feed systems help reduce manual labor while improving portion control and reducing injury risks.
4. Robotic Food Warmers and Bain Maries
Some of our bain maries and heated cabinets now feature temperature memory functions and auto shut-off safety. These systems also ensure food is held at safe serving temperatures without manual intervention.
Smart Ventilation and Hood Systems
At Mariot, we also install sensor-based ventilation hoods that auto-adjust their fan speeds based on cooking activity. These systems reduce energy consumption, improve air quality, and extend the life of ductwork and grease filters. Integrated fire suppression and smoke detectors add an extra layer of safety.
Benefits of Upgrading to Touchless and Automated Equipment
1. Improved Hygiene
Reducing contact points means a lower risk of foodborne illness, contamination, and non-compliance with health inspections.
2. Labor Efficiency
Automation takes over repetitive or timing-sensitive tasks, allowing your team to focus on quality and speed during busy service hours.
3. Consistency and Accuracy
Preset programs ensure uniform results across different shifts and staff, reducing training requirements and human error.
4. Water and Energy Savings
Sensor-driven faucets and equipment consume only what is needed, which adds up to substantial savings over time.
5. Customer Confidence
Front-of-house touchless beverage dispensers or hand sanitizer units increase customer trust and promote your business as hygiene-focused.
