Your Kitchen is The Heartbeat of Your Restaurant If you run a restaurant, café or any other eating establishment you know that the kitchen is the heartbeat of your venue. It doesn’t matter what the décor is like or how pleasant your waiting staff are, if the kitchen isn’t up to scratch then the food won’t be and the service will simply collapse. With this in mind it is vital to get the right catering equipment and you give serious consideration to your industrial kitchen design and equipment installation. Having a kitchen fitted is always going to be expensive, time consuming and just a little bit messy; however, time and effort spent here will pay dividends in the years to come.
So what do you need to think about in the planning stages? Firstly you are going to need to accept that you will have to enlist the help of experts. While you can find someone to design the kitchen, someone else to provide it and yet someone else to install it, it would be wise (and probably more cost efficient) to find one person or firm who can do as much of the work as possible. This is certainly the case when it comes to the design and fitting aspects. Whoever designs the final layout will have a better understanding of what needs to go where and why, which will make the installing much more seamless. Your designer will be able to take into account the needs of your kitchen, whether you need to have specific areas for preparing specific foods and if you have to have hot and cold areas to work in. There will then be able to use this knowledge to layout an efficient plan, so that you do not have any bottlenecks when your kitchen is officially up and running. Once your kitchen is ready to be fitted you will need to make sure that whoever is going to work on the next element of the project is fully aware of all the regulations they need to be in order to set everything up properly. If they do not have the
skills or technical knowledge to connect cookers and other appliances, do they have reputable gas engineers, electricians and plumbers as contacts? Having someone on your side who already has all these contacts, and is used to working with them will make the entire process a lot simpler. You can therefore hand off most of the project management element of it to the professionals, while you sit back and eagerly anticipate the end result. A commercial kitchen is a huge investment and as such it is something that should not be rushed. This is true with the planning stages. So take the time to fully research your options and interview anyone that you are considering hire to work on your new installation. Author Bio Samuel has a keen interest in commercial Catering.
