Do guests come in specifically for your craft beers or your steamy coffees? Or maybe they come for the food and drinks are just a perk! No matter what the reasons, no restaurant is complete without a few beverage machines hanging out in your kitchen. Here at Fast Fix LLC, we realize what a big role they play in your St. Louis commercial kitchen, and repair is inevitable. Here are a few different types of commercial beverage machines that you’ll find in restaurants and how we can help keep them in tip-top shape! Coffee Machines There are several different features to keep in mind when shopping for a coffee machine for your restaurant. Some can attach directly to a water line to simplify the brewing process, others have no water lines for easy transport. Cappuccino, espresso, and hot chocolate machines are a must for breakfast facilities or coffee shops (duh!). Check out these popular unit types as you track down the perfect appliance for you.

June 16th is Fresh Veggies Day, so it’s the perfect time to learn about selecting and storing your vegetables. As a restaurant owner, it’s important to make sure that your vegetables are properly cared for, but even more so, chosen. Because we care about your business, your restaurant, and obviously your equipment, here are a few hints to help. Choose Produce Carefully When getting high quality produce, the key is to make sure that you come back with pieces that aren’t damaged or bad. No amount of storage will make a difference if the produce is too far gone. Need to Stock Up? If you’re buying bulk, plan on grabbing the root vegetables. These are notorious for lasting long and staying fresh. Wanna keep it longer? Try separating the greens from carrots or beets to help keep them from pulling moisture. Getting Greens? Lettuces are fragile, but kale and collards will last longer. Especially when you take the rubber band and plastic bag to give it room to breathe. Other op...
