As a foodservice business owner, you know that time is money. Save precious hours—and increase your profits—by prepping for big events with the new Whizard Versa™ Trimmer from Bettcher, which reduces labor time by up to 67%.
Ideal for BBQ caterers—and restaurant applications including gyro, shawarma, and al pastor slicing—the Whizard Versa™ Trimmer is an electric handheld tool that significantly decreases preparation time for large cuts of meat. The unique Twist-N-Go head technology on the Whizard Versa™ enables it to perform a wide range of tasks, including fat trimming, silverskin trimming, and membrane trimming.
Operators such as TJ from Bullies of BBQ Competition & Catering found the Whizard Versa™ Trimmer invaluable when trimming brisket for weddings and other large events.
This tool helped our business thrive by being efficient, consistent and just all-around very easy to work with.”
—Eusedio, chef at John & Loreta Family Restaurant
“The Whizard Versa™ cut my trimming time down to about a third of what it used to be with a traditional knife,” says TJ, adding that it saves two to three hours per cook when he’s preparing 10 to 20 briskets. “It’s going to make everybody more consistent and more productive.”
Because the blade rotates, the Whizard Versa™ doesn’t need to be sharpened as frequently as a traditional knife. “I’ve had to sharpen a straight knife maybe two or three times per cook, and with this I just run straight through and I’m good to go,” adds TJ.
Features of the Whizard Versa™ Trimmer include:
• 180° DEGREE ROTATABLE HEAD Choose the on/off lever placement in the palm or at the fingertips to improve comfort and reduce strain.
• TWIST-N-GO HEAD Quickly change between different blade sizes depending on the application.
• INTEGRATED SAFETY LEVER Prevents unintended activation of the tool, reducing the risk of injury.
• LIGHTWEIGHT ERGONOMIC DESIGN Reduces operator strain and allows for a longer run time with less fatigue.
• DISHWASHER-SAFE HEAD Waterproof/dishwasher-safe design makes cleaning simple and easy.
• QUICK BLADE RELEASE Quickly change blades with just a few turns of a screw.
• BUILT-IN ZERK GREASE FITTING Reduce tool noise and increase part life by quickly and easily adding food-safe grease.
• HIGH-SPEED/LOW-SPEED BUTTON Choose the best speed for the application to achieve the highest throughput and appearance.
At John & Loreta Family Restaurant, the Whizard Versa™ Trimmer has been a “game-changer,” according to the chef, Eusedio.
“I couldn’t imagine our business would be where it is without the Whizard Versa™,” says the chef. “It’s a night-and-day difference compared to using just a straight knife.”
At John & Loreta, the Whizard Versa™ Trimmer is utilized especially for cutting gyro meat. The tool has made the restaurant’s cuts very consistent and has resulted in much less product waste.
The Versa™ is definitely going to be time-saver for anybody in BBQ.”

In addition to being easy to maintain, the Whizard Versa™ has also increased the restaurant’s speed of preparation. “With the straight knife, if you had to do 10 sandwiches, for example, the straight knife would get the 10 sandwiches done in an hour or maybe even more,” says Eusedio. “But with this, those 10 sandwiches can go in less than 10 minutes.”
The Whizard Versa™ Trimmer is manufactured by Ohio-based Bettcher Industries. Founded in 1944, Bettcher Industries is a leading manufacturer and supplier of food processing equipment.
