Prepping Your Commercial Kitchen for the Summer Season

The kids aren't in school anymore and that means more opportunities for the entire family to eat out! Is your restaurant ready for the increased number of customers? Today's blog from your Missouri restaurant equipment repair professionals focuses on prepping your commercial kitchen for the summer season.

1. Start Your Deep Cleaning Tasks Now.


Many Missouri restaurants are extra busy during the summer months, and that means less time to dedicate to cleaning. It's important to get the large, deep cleaning tasks out of the way now. In the middle of the summer, you're not going to have the time to do those things unless you stay long after closing time. Get those major cleaning tasks done now, and then clean as you go throughout the summer to avoid letting dirt and grime build up.

2. Organize Your Walk-In and Pantry Shelves.


During a lunch rush, you're not going to have time to sort through food items until you find the right one. You'll want to get everything organized before summer gets underway, so everyone can find what they need quickly. Whether that means creating labels or putting together a chart/diagram, being organized will make your summer rush season flow much more smoothly. Organization is key in being successful in just about anything you do, including running a commercial kitchen.

3. Have Your Air Conditioner Serviced.


Due to all the excess heat from ovens, ranges and other cooking equipment, restaurant kitchen can get rather hot. Add the summer heat on top of that and it's important that your restaurant AC is working efficiently. Not only will this keep your employees and customers cool, but it will reduce your electric bill. Be sure to have your AC system looked at before the heat of the summer arrives.
