Your kitchen is the heart of your restaurant, that special place where your chefs create all the extraordinary meals to delight your guests and keep them coming back. It’s therefore imperative your kitchen is properly equipped with everything it needs.
What, exactly, does a restaurant kitchen need?
A bar is much more than simply the liquor lining its shelves or beer flowing from its taps. There's a vast array of service- and beverage preparation-related activities taking place behind the scenes critical to its smooth operation and ultimate success. The ease and speed with which skilled bartenders serve patrons (even extra-fancy drinks) is actually the result of thoughtful planning and a whole lotta practice.
None of this would be possible without the necessary tools and equipment, but with an overwhelming amount of options, where do you even begin?
Flatware is one of the first touchpoints guests experience at the table, making it a subtle, but powerful contributor to how a meal is perceived. From weight and balance to shine and durability, the quality of your flatware can reinforce your brand, or detract from it.
Refrigeration is essential to keeping your restaurant's perishable ingredients fresh and safe to eat. With so many options out there to choose from, it can be difficult to know exactly which type would be right for you.
A good first step is to decide which of the two major categories of refrigeration would best suit your restaurant kitchen's needs: reach-in or walk-in?
