In 1946, Art Murray had a vision to improve the service in his own Murray’s restaurant of Minneapolis, and to share those ideas with fellow operators. His ideas, innovation and successes were the seeds of Service Ideas. Today, a half century later, the original Thermo-Serv beverage server and Thermo-Plate platters are food presentation standards, often copied but never duplicated.

We, the second and third generation Murrays, have proudly expanded upon this philosophy with products that increase profitability, ensure safety and minimize labor costs. As an innovative world-wide provider, Service Ideas assures you will not only enjoy great products, but also helpful, courteous service. After all, it is our first name.
