RETAIL A Cut Above Rice Lake’s MajorSlice commercial slicers take a lead role in delis Sue Zielke knows how to slice the perfect ham. The Park ’n Shop’s deli department shows off her work in their display case much like a high school proudly exhibits its trophies. Rows of perfectly sliced meat adorn the container in Culver, Indiana, waiting for a resident to include it in a summer picnic lunch on the shores of nearby Lake Maxinkuckee. With 23 years of deli experience and as manager of the Park ’n Shop’s deli department, Sue has seen new technology come and go throughout the years. When she was asked by Rice Lake Retail Solutions to beta-test the new MajorSlice 300, she had a few hesitations. The department was already using two slicers, and was a city with a population less than 1500, is a third slicer necessary? And there was nothing wrong with the existing slicers. Sue had never heard of Rice Lake and when she discovered it was a scale company, she wasn’t sure what to expect. The MajorSlice features an index control knob that clicks into position and doesn’t move as the slicer is cutting. looks the same and afterwards, it’s very easy to clean.” Previously, a slice of meat taken at the beginning of the stack would not have the same thickness as one taken at the end of the stack. The MajorSlice features an index control knob that clicks into position and doesn’t move as the slicer is cutting. Another of the deli department’s annoyances with their old slicers was the difficulty in cleaning beneath the units—their short feet didn’t allow for hand clearance. The MajorSlice has taller feet which allow for a quick and easy countertop wipe-down, and a lever to elevate the unit when more comprehensive cleaning is required. After the beta-testing period was complete, the Park ’n Shop’s manager began prepping the MajorSlice for its return to Rice Lake. But Sue wasn’t ready to see it leave. She wanted the store to purchase the beta unit. “I must have told him every day how much better it was than the others and how much everyone in the department liked it,” said Sue. “I think my manager was getting tired of me pestering him about it and got the hint.” The straw that broke the camel’s back and triggered the purchase, however, MajorSlice Variocut technology holds product in position, ensuring each slice has the same thickness. “Once I showed him the hand guards and that the blade isn’t exposed like the others, he was sold.” was safety. Sue explains, “Over the years, we have had a few nicks from using the old slicers. Once I showed him the hand guards and that the blade isn’t exposed like the others, he was sold.” Six months after its arrival, the MajorSlice 300 has taken command of the Park ’n Shop’s deli department. Now serving as the everyday slicer, it has relegated its predecessors to spot duty—used only when the MajorSlice is already busy. It has even accommodated some unusual slicing requests. “I’ve had customers ask for their tomatoes and potatoes to be sliced,” Sue remembers. “I knew if I put those products on one of the old slicers, they would get shot against the wall as soon as they touched the blade. But the MajorSlice’s product pusher keeps that from happening. I think the customer was expecting us to use a knife to cut the tomato for them, and they couldn’t believe it when we used the slicer. It came out perfectly!” ▪ However, when the MajorSlice 300 arrived, those hesitations were put to rest. “The first thing I noticed was how heavy it was,” explains Sue. “I could tell it is very well built and extremely high quality.” Immediately after using the MajorSlice, Sue’s initial impressions were confirmed. The 101-pound slicer not only surpassed the others in weight and build quality, but also in ease of use, safety, and cut consistency. “The product pusher keeps everything in place as I’m slicing,” Sue continues. “Whenever I have something to cut, I choose our MajorSlice.
