Mastrada Takeover Campus: The Kitchen of the Future at Politeknik Sahid Innovation Meets Culinary Education

On Friday, May 23, 2025, PT Mastrada Group proudly hosted its signature event, Mastrada Takeover Campus, at the Grand Premiere Hall of Politeknik Sahid, Jakarta.
This year’s theme, "The Kitchen of the Future: Speed & Ventless Cooking", showcased how technology is reshaping professional kitchens — from how food is prepared to where it can be served.

The event brought together culinary students, educators, and professionals to explore high-speed, space-efficient kitchen solutions, in collaboration with Merrychef and Webilt.

 

Backed by Innovation: Merrychef & Webilt

This educational experience was made possible by two leading brands:

• Merrychef, a pioneer in ventless high-speed cooking technology, showcased how chefs can cook faster without compromising taste or texture — all without a traditional kitchen hood system.

• Webilt, known for its modern, hygienic, and modular stainless steel kitchens, provided insight into future-ready kitchen layouts built for efficiency and performance.

 

Live Cooking with Chef Zulkarnain & Chef Resdi

The highlight of the event was the live cooking demo led by:

• Chef Zulkarnain Dahlan, an experienced executive chef with a strong background in hotels and large-scale catering.

• Chef Resdi Sutrisno, Corporate Chef at Mastrada, known for bridging culinary artistry with kitchen technology.

Together, they demonstrated how the Merrychef oven can cook multiple dishes at incredible speed — without external ventilation, without noise, and with precision.

 

Why Speed & Ventless Cooking Matter

Ventless high-speed cooking is changing the way kitchens operate, especially in:

• Small urban spaces

• Cafés, cloud kitchens, and kiosks

• Hotels and hospitals looking to expand without major kitchen renovations

With no need for ventilation systems, kitchens can now pop up in unconventional locations — malls, lobbies, airports, or even hotel suites.

The Merrychef solution:

• Cooks 3–5x faster than traditional methods

• Reduces kitchen footprint

• Improves energy efficiency

• Delivers chef-quality results every time

 

Empowering Culinary Students for Tomorrow’s Industry

Mastrada’s Takeover Campus initiative is more than a product showcase — it’s a commitment to educate and inspire future chefs to adapt to industry shifts.

  

The event provided students with:

• Hands-on exposure to real commercial equipment

• Direct interaction with seasoned chefs

• Insights into global trends in professional kitchens

• A look at how culinary careers are evolving with technology

 

The Kitchen of the Future Starts Here!

The Mastrada Takeover Campus at Politeknik Sahid marks another step in bridging culinary education with technological advancement. With support from Merrychef and Webilt, students not only witnessed the tools of tomorrow — they cooked with them.
