Kitchen Maintenance for Memorial Day

We know what you’re thinking, Memorial Day is still over 30 days away (38 to be exact), do you really have to start thinking about it already? The truth is, yes. In a kitchen, you always have to be thinking ahead and preparing for the next big thing. Right now, the next big event is going to be Memorial Day, as many people use this time to kick off their summer!

This is especially important for our restaurants at the Lake of the Ozarks, but really even our restaurants in St. Louis can benefit from a little preparation as well. Here are a few things you need to start planning for now in order to help Memorial Day go off with a bang.


Get Your Equipment Serviced

NOW is the time to get your commercial kitchen appliances serviced in Missouri. We pride ourselves on being FAST, and we don’t like to make our clients wait for service. The important thing to remember, though, is that there will always be deadlines that are out of our control, as well as yours. As we start to get an influx of clients needing to have their equipment serviced, our schedule will fill up - get on our schedule now!

Additionally, we can’t anticipate surprises, but you can prepare for them! By getting your equipment serviced sooner rather than later, you can give yourself enough wiggle room to then get it repaired. Some key pieces of equipment for Memorial Day are going to be your grill and your bar taps. It’s no surprise that Memorial Day is all about beer and burgers, so you’ll want to make sure that those two pieces are ship-shape. After that, the rest of your equipment is just as important.

Start Thinking About Specials

Don’t wait until the last minute to decide if you want to offer drinks specials, half-price apps, or even feature a new item on the menu. You'll want to make sure you have plenty of stock available to supply for your customers, and by waiting until a later date, you may have trouble getting some of the ingredients that you’re hoping for. In addition, waiting until the last minute means that your staff will be scrambling to remember what the specials are, and it may make it harder to promote. Get your plan together now so that you can start marketing!
