Ergonomic design
Before we dive into the essentials it’s important to plan the entire layout of your kitchen before you start purchasing and installing.
Ergonomic design is another way of saying ‘designed for efficiency’ and will help minimise unnecessary movement of staff while they carry out their regular duties.
If a waiter has to walk through the entire kitchen to grab a plate that’s ready to go out you’re going to have issues. Carefully consider the location of primary cooking equipment, prep and food storage areas, washbasins as well as dish and glasswashers.
Focusing on an ergonomic design maximises worker output, limits time wasted on unnecessary movement and therefore minimise accidents such as slipping and falling, food spills and accidental breakage.
Consider where your food prep and meal cooking will take place, where food will be stored, and where the service station will be placed for ease of access.
Happy head chef = less stress = success. For this reason, ergonomic design is one of the most crucial features your kitchen must have.
Kitchen appliances
The list of kitchen appliances is endless and to list them all, well we’d be here all day and we both know neither of us has the time for that. However, what you’ll need to consider when fitting out your kitchen is how to keep it clean and the ease of maintenance.
What do we mean by this? The material you choose will determine how much cleaning and maintenance you’ll be doing.
For this reason, we recommend choosing appliances that are sturdy enough to withstand everyday use, but also easy to clean and maintain. High-quality stainless steel appliances and kitchenware that won’t tarnish over time is the easiest way to go.
Main kitchen appliances to consider can include ovens, ranges, burners, grills, griddles, deep fryers, freezers, fridges, food processes, blenders, mixers, slicers, salamanders, toasters and beverage brewers. You will also need to include a commercial kitchen dishwasher and glasswasher.
Food prep and storage
If there’s one thing that chefs and kitchen staff are always complaining about it would be insufficient bench space and food storage. Inadequate food preparation space slows down the production of food, which means your customers will be kept waiting with hungry stomachs for longer. This is bad for business.
Once again, this brings us back to the design aspect of your commercial kitchen. Making sure there is adequate food preparation and storage space will result in increased productivity and efficiency. Again, consider stainless steel for your bench tops and storage as it is easy to clean and maintain, resilient to scratches and dents, and has less chance of harbouring harmful bacteria.
Other elements to consider include commercial sinks, drying racks, shelving and cabinetry, food trolleys, and utility carts.
