Tips For A More Efficient Kitchen
Whether you own a small corner bakery, a large 100-seat restaurant, a commercial kitchen for catering or you’re working from a home kitchen, the majority of your investment is tied to your equipment. To make the most of your investment, we’ve put together some simple kitchen organization ideas to help you save space and work more efficiently. Whether you have a small commercial kitchen layout, a huge industrial kitchen or you’re just a home chef looking to get organized, these ideas will work for everyone.
Map It Out
The most important thing for kitchen efficiency is to eliminate unnecessary steps. Sketch out your kitchen on paper first. No matter what size kitchen you have, you want it to flow in a logical order. Even if you aren’t serving customers out of a storefront and you’re just trying to organize a small home-based business, think like a restaurant and plan your workflow.
Organize your kitchen to flow from storage to prep to the line (where it’s cooked or baked) to the pass (where it’s ready to go). If you map out your kitchen in a logical route, things will move in a smooth, consistent pattern. Source: avery.com.
