Some of the most critical equipment in a professional kitchen is the refrigeration. Ingredients must be stored in optimum conditions in order to retain exceptional quality. Commercial units are designed specifically for this purpose and offer consistent and precise temperatures in which to preserve foods.
During the Christmas period food stocks and quantities can dramatically rise and so the amount of storage available should follow suit. Is there any point taking maximum bookings, spending money on extra ingredients but finding that you simply haven’t got the space to store anything? The result is wasted money, wasted food and wasted potential custom! People tend to spend more on their dining out excursions during the festive period and so expect high quality food in return. Without adequate commercial refrigeration your restaurant will fail to meet its full potential.
Review all refrigerated storage that exists in your kitchen and assess its capabilities of meeting increased demand. If you find your business lacking, take a look at these suggestions to make sure you are able to fulfil all your Christmas needs.
