We used to get a half dozen calls per day requesting service for broken dishwashers and such.

Banquet hall where I worked as a janitor (HS & college) had Hobart stuff.
Warming oven, flattop, dish washer, stand mixer, and work tables.
That's the only way I know them. I was unaware that had another business unit.

Back on my band days, I knew a guy whose day job was as a dishwasher. He had carefully removed the Hobart badge from a piece of commercial kitchen equipment and mounted it on the grille of his guitar amp. Looked perfect, as though it had come from the factory that way.

Washing dishes at a young age and making pizza dough, grinding meat and cheese at Little Joes in Grand Blanc, Michigan.
Waiter, bartender, host, line cook you name it, I pretty much did it all. I was very familiar with Hobart.
