Hatco Toast-Qwik TQ-805 Conveyor Toaster

The Hatco Toast-Qwik TQ-805 is a countertop conveyor toaster designed for commercial foodservice operations that need a steady, consistent output of toasted product across a full service period. Rather than toasting in batches like a pop-up or contact toaster, the TQ-805 moves bread, buns, and similar products through a heated chamber on a continuous conveyor belt. Toasting colour is controlled by adjusting the conveyor speed rather than the element temperature — a practical arrangement that lets operators dial in the result quickly without waiting for elements to stabilise.

Consistency across a busy service is where the TQ-805 earns its place. The unit features Hatco's Colour Guard sensing system, which compensates automatically for fluctuations in throughput — useful during the peaks and lulls of a breakfast rush or lunch service where volume is rarely constant. The result is a more uniform finish across each run, with fewer wasted or rejected products reaching the pass.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

• Four-position selector (Off, Toast, Buns, Standby) for straightforward in-service adjustment
• Choice of front or rear product discharge to suit counter layout and workflow direction
• Handles both sliced bread and buns, supporting varied menu requirements
• Continuous throughput removes the idle time associated with batch toasting
• Compact countertop footprint relative to output capacity

Installation is straightforward as a countertop electric unit. It is worth confirming available counter depth and socket proximity before ordering — particularly if rear discharge is preferred, as clearance behind the unit will be needed. The surface should be stable and heat-resistant, with adequate space around the discharge point to allow safe product collection during busy periods.

The TQ-805 is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, pub kitchens, and quick-service restaurants where toasted products are a consistent part of the menu. It sits in the mid-capacity range of countertop conveyor toasters — practical for sites with regular but not exceptionally high throughput demands. For operations running a significantly higher volume, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity conveyor model would be a more sustainable fit long term.
