Summer is a peak time, whether you’re a cafe, bistro, pub, club, food truck, franchise, caterer or fine dining establishment.
The summer months represent a key revenue-generating period and you need to be maximising the income your kitchen can generate. There are few things worse than having some of your commercial equipment out of action during the festive rush.
Your kitchen needs to be firing on all burners and now is the perfect time to take stock, book services, arrange repairs, and even upgrade.
GET READY FOR THE SUMMER RUSH
The Luus team recommends you start with an end-to-end review of your commercial kitchen equipment. Look at the obvious issues, such as appliances that need replacement parts, repairs or a maintenance service.
Next, consider the bigger picture, including forecasted turnover to potential menu changes, and assess the equipment tweaks that may be required. What seasonal menu items have the potential to become mainstays? Can your current line-up of equipment accommodate this?
With these two lists in place, you’re now in a position to get moving on what needs to be done – whether it’s a service, a replacement, or an upgrade.
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
A good maintenance strategy is the key to a long-lasting, effective and well-run commercial kitchen. Our team recommends you do the following to get the most out of your gear:
- Keep your equipment clean every day by training your team the proper cleaning processes. Extend its life with a set schedule of cleaning tasks that should be undertaken daily, weekly, monthly, and annually.
- Book in regular maintenance and servicing to reduce the need for larger repairs. Vehicles that are regularly serviced every 6-12 months perform better and outlast those that are neglected… same goes with your kitchen equipment.
- A professional service technician can spot a potential risk before it becomes a problem or hazard, so regular servicing can also improve safety in the kitchen.
- Technicians will service, calibrate, check pressures, replace consumables, and spring-clean your burners and equipment, reducing potential down-time and saving you money in the long-run.
