Building a great company from the ground up can be extremely difficult if you do not have the right equipment on hand. Certain foods and supplies must be kept out of what those in the food industry call the “danger zone,” which is between the temperatures of five and 57 degrees Celsius. Not only that, but there are many pieces of equipment that make using the kitchen for catering simply easier and more convenient and they also improve productivity in the long run.
Refrigerators
Industrial catering equipment such as commercial refrigerators will ensure that all of your items are in great condition and safe to consume every single time. There are units available specifically designed to provide ample shelving space for cooled items such as desserts and condiments that benefit from being kept in a certain order. Not only will your staff more quickly be able to reach certain items but the shelving will help to reduce the chance of cross-contamination and make sure that all items are kept separate to ensure that they are kept at the proper temperatures.
Ice Machines
It can quickly become costly to simply purchase your own ice over and over again, especially if you must purchase large quantities to keep up with a busy catering order. Fortunately, there are ice machines of various sizes and makes that will ensure that you never find yourself without the ice you need at a critical moment in a catering event. These are fast at what they do, can hold large amounts of ice at once, and ensure that all ice is of high quality and ready for immediate use upon release into the storage section.
Dishwashers
Industrial dishwashers offer a wide range of benefits, allowing your team to wash large quantities of dishes, glasses, ramekins, and more without trouble. This way, you can easily keep up with a busy night filled with a large number of guests looking to receive fast and reliable service. With dishes done more quickly and more thoroughly cleaned, you can be sure that each and every patron is given the chance to receive his or her meal in record time, especially if you have a dedicated staff ready to help you get it done.
Productivity
The more important thing to remember about running a catering business is that you must work around the clock to keep productivity high. Your staff should have equipment on hand designed to help them save time and effort, especially during a busy moment at an event. Not only will you significantly improve the chance of receiving a positive review from a client and perhaps a referral but you will save time and money in the process.
Safety
In many cases, having industrial equipment on hand is the best way to ensure that your staff is kept safe and happy throughout work with your catering business. Your staff should have access to highly efficient equipment designed to manage a wide range of issues without once breaking down or slowing down the team. The money, time, and stress saved will drastically reduce the chance of you losing any good business in the future.
