DAWGPOWER 56/hr one dedicated dogger  ·  91/hr two-up
our cart calculator: 51-second solo cycle, 39.5-second two-up
TWIN UNIT 71/hr with one dogger  →  Add a second unit
the second unit only pays when the kit, not the person, is the limit

HOW TO RUN IT: Plates at 130–150°C, lid down, sausages split or laid flat. Chilled: 4–6 min for a 90g Frank Jr, 8–9 for a thick brat or 140g. Buns get 60 seconds on the top plate. Hold cooked dogs in a wet well or bain marie, not on the plates — the grill stays free for the next batch.
 

“Since introducing BAHD to our menu we’ve seen food sales increase over 20% in one site and over 30% in another. The kit we have can fit around 8 grilled cheese at once and 16 or so brats… call it 75 an hour.”

SPECIFICATIONS: 425 x 400 x 220mm · 19kg · 2,200W · up to +300°C

WARRANTY: 12 months, spare parts only.

Money figures are what YOU make, not what we make: a loaded dog is a Frank Jr 90g + 7″ bun + branded wrapper bought by the case (Frank Jr £1.20 + bun 37p + wrapper 4p = £1.61), sold at £6.50 inc VAT (£5.42 ex) — £3.80 profit each, 70% GP; everything ex VAT. Capacity basis is stated on each line. Heat-through and running costs assume our operating rule: reheat on a low–medium setting to 73°C at the core, then hold at 63–65°C; electricity 25p/kWh.
