Eaton Marketing is excited to welcome Eric Meaney to the team as our new North Florida Sales Rep. Eric brings more than 15 years of experience in the foodservice and hospitality industry.

When lunchtime hits, the last thing any cafeteria director wants is a traffic jam. Bottlenecks in the serving line aren't just a nuisance; they hurt participation, slow down service, and create a frustrating experience. Whether it's a school cafeteria serving hundreds of students in a short window or a hospital cafe catering to busy healthcare workers, the struggle is the same. And too often, the culprit is outdated, one-size-fits-all serving equipment that can't keep up. Fortunately, there's a better solution taking hold across foodservice businesses in Florida: custom cafeteria serving lines.
