Hello World! Welcome Friends! If you are thinking about setting up your own eatery, we have three good tips to help you out.
Find a good wholesaler for your napkins and such like
If you are involved in the food business in any shape or form then you will know how important napkins are. If someone goes to your restaurant, pub, cafe or whatever food establishment you may have and there are no napkins available then they are not going to be impressed.
After all, diners should have the opportunity to put a napkin on their lap in order to ensure that they do not spill anything on themselves. Not only this, but napkins should be readily available in case someone spills a drink or wants to wipe their mouth. It shows a severe lack of professionalism if you do not have these available at your food place.
It has highly recommended that you buy dinner napkins that are of a high quality. It can be very tempting to go for paper napkins merely because they are the cheapest. Yet these can look tacky and can diminish the image of your restaurant. Not only this, but they aren’t actually the greatest when it comes to protecting people from food and drink spillages. Instead, it is better to go for linen napkins. These look better, they feel better, and they actually do their job properly too.
And don’t worry; you don’t have to spend extortionate amounts of money in order to deck out your restaurant in beautiful linen napkins. In fact, there is an easy way you can save a substantial amount of money and this is through buying napkins wholesale. This is when you buy large quantities of napkins and thus you make savings because you have bought in bulk. This is highly recommended because at the end of the day you are definitely going to need a substantial amount of napkins, so why not buy in one batch altogether? You save yourself the inconvenience of having to do several shops and you save money in the process too; perfect!
Not only do you make savings on the napkins themselves but you also make savings when it comes to delivery and calling costs too. After all, if you make your supply orders by telephone then you will get charged for this – and this can sometimes be quite a substantial figure if you are put on hold for a while. And no matter whether you order on the telephone or via the internet you will more than likely have to pay for delivery costs. If you order in bulk then you will only have to pay for this cost one time in comparison to several. Thus again showcasing the cost efficiency associated with buying napkins wholesale.
Efficiency needs to be considered at every turn
When it comes to setting up your commercial kitchen, everything needs to be about efficiency. This includes the layout of the kitchen. You will also want to invest in a stainless steel trench drain to ensure effective drainage. Plus, getting a grease tap installed under the sink to ensure there are not any blockages or issues here is also critical. If you don’t consider efficiency, you are only going to get frustrated, and this is going to have a negative impact across the board, from staff morale to your finances.
Buying cutlery for your restaurant
If you are buying cutlery for your restaurant or cafe then you will be met with a lot of different choices at your disposal. Cutlery generally differs with regards to three main components, and these are; quality, cost and design. When dealing with the latter this is something which is completely down to your personal taste, the style of your restaurant and what you think your customers will like. In all honesty, you can’t go too wrong when it comes to the style of your cutlery, as long as you don’t go for antique fine china in a modern and vibrant cafe then you will be fine. It is finding the balance between a good deal with regards to price whilst also ensuring quality which proves to be more difficult.
There are lots of economy cutlery sets which are available online at the moment for you to choose from. These prove to be great for owners of food places because they are very cheap with regards to price. You will be able to buy in bulk and thus the cost per unit is very low. After all, it is crucial for any business to keep their costs as low as possible. This is even more so the case for start-up companies, and especially considering the current state of the economy.
Nevertheless, what good are economy items if they are of a low quality? If your knives can’t cut the meat properly and your spoons bend when they’re scooping up ice cream then you have a problem. You will have to replace your cutlery and this will end up costing you even more money in the long run. Therefore, in order to ensure that your cutlery is also of high quality, there are several things which you should look out for.
First and foremost you should make sure that you buy your cutlery sets from a reputable company. Take a look online and read reviews in order to get a general feel for the business and to ensure that this is the case. After all, a company’s reputation is largely built up by the products and services that they provide. If people have been happy with the goods they have received then there is a high chance that you will be too. In addition to this, you should also make sure that you opt for cutlery which is made from stainless steel. This is the most popular choice when it comes to cutlery and there is no coincidence as to why. One of the main reasons is that the material is extremely strong and very durable. Moreover, it is rust free and does not tarnish either, this means you can be assured of no damage. Another great benefit worth considering is that stainless steel cutlery is very easy to clean and this is something which is of course highly important when dealing with food.
