Abstract: A food shelving and cycling system for wrapped food items includes an elongated shelf for storing wrapped food items and unwrapping apparatus for separating each food item from its wrapping. Sensors mounted within the floor of the shelf and a controller monitor the time that a wrapped food item is positioned within the shelf and initiates its removal from the shelf if the food item is positioned within the shelf in excess of a desired period of time. The system includes heating components for heating the food items until removed from the shelf, and the unwrapping apparatus facilitates the division of a food item and its wrapping into edible and non-edible refuse.

Abstract: An apparatus for scrubbing and scraping the surface of a grill or the like utilizes a rotating head having a first member to which a scrubbing pad is attached and a second member to which a scraper is attached. The second member is movably attached to the first member for movement between a first position at which rotation of the head engagably moves both the scrubbing pad and the scraper across the surface being cleaned and a second position at which rotation of the head engagably moves only the scrubbing pad across the surface being cleaned. The apparatus also includes a detergent application system for dispensing liquid detergent over the region of the grill surface being cleaned and a vacuum system for removing spent detergent and materials, such as grease and grime, loosened from the surface by the head.
