Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Bristol needed to speed up their popular weekend brunch service. Their existing grill toaster was creating a bottleneck, with toast orders taking far too long and holding up entire tables.
"We were constantly apologising for delays. The Buffalo toaster changed our entire workflow. The pass-through chute means our kitchen team can load it up, and the perfectly toasted bread is ready for plating in moments. It’s just so consistent."
Laura Williams – Head Chef
Since installing the Buffalo conveyor toaster, the bistro has reduced its average breakfast ticket time by four minutes, a 25% improvement during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a flat, stable surface with plenty of ventilation around the unit.
- Adjust the non-slip feet to ensure the toaster is level and secure.
- Before first use, run it empty for a few minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues.
- Make sure it's plugged into a suitable 13A socket that can handle the 2.6kW load.
Keeping It Going
- Always allow the toaster to cool down completely before cleaning.
- Empty the crumb tray at the end of every day to prevent build-up and fire risk.
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a damp, soft cloth and a food-safe cleaner.
- Never submerge the unit in water or use abrasive scourers on the surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this toaster toast only one side of a bread slice?
A: Yes, it features an 'upper element only' setting which is perfect for toasting the cut side of bagels, buns, and teacakes while warming the other side.
Q: How many slices can the Buffalo CU628 toast per hour?
A: The output can vary significantly based on the bread type and your chosen speed setting, but it is designed for high-volume commercial use, typically handling hundreds of slices per hour.
Q: Is it difficult to clean?
A: Not at all. The full stainless steel construction and the pull-out crumb tray are designed for easy daily cleaning. Just wipe it down once it has cooled.
Q: What is the purpose of the 'pass-through' and 'return' chutes?
A: The 'pass-through' setting sends toast out the back, ideal for a kitchen pass. The 'return' chute sends it to the front, which is perfect for self-service breakfast buffets.
Q: Can I adjust how brown the toast is?
A: Yes, the variable speed control dial allows you to precisely adjust the toasting time, giving you complete control over the browning level.
Q: Will this fit in a small café kitchen?
A: This is a heavy-duty toaster for cafés, but we strongly recommend you measure your counter. It has a depth of 750mm, so ensure you have adequate space.
Q: What do the three settings—full power, upper element, and energy save—do?
A: 'Full power' uses both heating elements for standard toasting. 'Upper element' is for items like bagels. 'Energy save' maintains a ready-to-go temperature while using less electricity during lulls in service.
Q: What kind of plug does it come with?
A: The Buffalo double slice conveyor toaster is supplied with a standard UK 3-pin, 13-amp plug for easy installation.

Explore more from BuffaloDialling in Perfection: How Variable Speed Control Changes Your Toasting
Ever wondered how a commercial conveyor toaster gets such consistent results? It's all about the 'Variable Speed Control'. This isn't just a simple light-to-dark setting; it lets you control the actual speed of the conveyor belt that carries the bread through the toaster.
Think of it like choosing your walking pace on a sunny day versus a rainy one. For thick, dense sourdough or fruit loaf, you'd slow the belt right down, giving it more time under the heat to toast right through. For a standard thin slice of white bread, you can speed it up for a quick, golden finish. This level of control means you can perfectly toast virtually any bread product, reducing waste from burnt attempts and ensuring every single customer gets their toast exactly how it should be.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotels & Bed and Breakfasts: Perfect for the breakfast buffet line, using the return chute for easy self-service.
- High-Street Cafés: Rapidly toast bread for cooked breakfasts and sandwiches, smashing through the morning rush.
- Workplace & School Canteens: A reliable unit to feed a large number of people quickly and efficiently during lunch breaks.
- Event Caterers: A portable and powerful solution for setting up pop-up breakfast stations at any venue.
