Hanging the utensils and setting up the signs
Hang up tools, pots & pans
Pegboards and towel racks are great ways to save space in tight areas. You can buy specialty utensil racks but a towel bar and a few S hooks work just as well. Hanging up items also saves time for workers. No more digging in drawers to find a spatula or measuring spoon. And in a pinch, it’s a great way to let items airdry.
Hang tools like whisks, tongs, measuring cups, strainers, small saucepans, and lids from pegboards or towel hooks. Overhead hanging pot racks work great near stoves, where cooks can reach up and grab what they need without leaving their area. Just make sure you pay attention to heights and make everything reachable for everyone.
Protect customers & employees with labels & signs
Nothing is more important in the food and beverage business than keeping products labeled correctly. Everything from ingredients to cleaning products should have a proper label that is always visible. Serving the wrong product or a contaminated or spoiled item to a customer can be detrimental to your business, especially if someone gets sick.
Avery printable labels are great for frequently used items or products that change often. They are sold by the sheet online or in retail packs that you can print yourself on-demand.
Avery water and oil-resistant film labels are perfect for bulk items that are stored in secondary containers, such as flour and sugar. Or try the removable labels for seasonal products or ingredients. If you make your own items be sure to add made-on dates as well as product identifying labels. And if you use handwritten labels, write legibly so everyone can read them.
Use waterproof film labels with your contact information if you cater or your kitchen equipment is sometimes used offsite. This will help identify your items and ensure they get returned to your kitchen if left behind at an event.
Safety & informational signs
Make sure to use proper signage where necessary to protect and provide information to employees and customers. From warning signs about allergies or swinging doors to reminders to employees to wash hands or turn off lights, you need signs to protect workers and guests from injuries, and yourself from lawsuits.
If you use something like Avery Surface Safe® Signs, you can apply signs to items like painted walls, stainless steel doors, and glass windows, then remove them cleanly with no damage to walls or paint.
You can create your own personalized signs to fit your specific needs or choose from a selection of pre-designed signs. Then order custom printed signs or blank kitchen signs that you can personalize and print yourself. The most important thing is to keep your employees and customers safe while providing quality products in a fast and efficient manner. Source: avery.com.
