Catering Equipment – Tips for pubs, bars and hotels
Catering is now an important aspect of nearly every business in the hospitality industry. No longer can pubs and bars just rely on the revenue from beers, wines and spirits; with smoking bans, global recessions and rising alcohol duties, more and more establishments are offering food to stay afloat.
But catering can be a daunting experience for those business owners that are unused to serving food. Catering is a totally different animal to the drinks business and there is much to think about from the health and hygiene certificates to sourcing the food.
Stainless steel is by far the best solution
One area especially, that can be extremely difficult is buying catering accessories. First, you have to establish the equipment you need and not fall into the trap of buying catering accessories that will just sit on a cupboard and not be used. You then have to find a good catering equipment supplier and choose from what can be often a daunting range of different types of catering gear.
Working out what equipment you need
You need to establish the type of food you are offering. For short order/grills. The basic equipment will be quite minimal. Obviously, plates and cutlery are going to be important as are condiment containers. But think of what will be needed in the kitchen: chopping boards, knives, pans and utensils – speak to your cook who will be able to work out everything they need for each menu item.
Choosing the equipment
Practicality is by far the most important aspect to catering equipment. Must equipment for business is larger and more durable than the sort of utensils and kitchen equipment you use at home. It also has to be easy to clean so look for stainless steel wherever possible and avoid any complicated gadgets and kitchen devices that are not only expensive and space consuming but often there are simpler and easier solutions to the problem.
Finding a catering equipment supplier
Fortunately, thanks to the internet finding a good catering equipment and accessory supplier shouldn't be hard to find. Check a few different websites and establish where they are based and if they are contactable by telephone or email – often important if you need advice.
