Design Your Commercial Kitchen for Workflow
When you’re designing or redesigning your commercial kitchen, we recommend making a smooth workflow your top priority. The workflow of your commercial kitchen is essentially the path a meal must take from the moment it is ordered to the moment it is delivered to the table. By making this workflow as smooth as possible, you can increase your kitchen’s efficiency, make life easier for your employees, and better serve your customers. When you design your kitchen with workflow in mind, you’ll benefit from increased safety, productivity, and employee satisfaction. You’ll also find that your customer service will improve.
Increased Safety
A well-designed commercial kitchen is designed with safety as its goal. Simple changes, such as improving lighting and ventilation or investing in proper hot pads can go a long way toward preventing avoidable accidents and creating a significantly better work environment.
Productivity
When everything in your kitchen is laid out on a well-thought out path, your employees can get their tasks done more quickly. For example, moving a fridge from the back of the kitchen to the front, where the cooking takes place, will mean your cooks no longer have to run to the back of the kitchen every time they need an ingredient from the fridge.
Employee Satisfaction
When your employees work in safer environments and feel that they are set up for success, they will be significantly more satisfied with their jobs. In addition, satisfaction also stems from feeling valued. A gesture as simple as having all of your knives sharpened can go a long way toward showing your employees that you want to see them succeed.
Improved customer service
A more efficient kitchen allows for the quicker completion of orders. This, in turn, means you’ll have fewer issues with excessive wait times and angry customers.
A well-designed commercial kitchen will benefit just about every aspect of your business. When you’re ready to install your new equipment, just give CPS a call. Our techs will help you to get your new kitchen up and running.
