5 Essential Fixtures and Equipment to Take Care of Your Washing Needs

When you are running a catering company, a hospitality business of any other kind, or a restaurant, you must know how to rack up the dishes fast. People like to eat out – and that is good for your business – but when food hygiene and cleanliness is a priority, updating the washing equipment in your kitchen is necessary, unless you want to get on the wrong side of the health department.

Moreover, if you run a catering company, after any major event, you must always be faced with the monumental task of overseeing the dishwashing. When you just have a small sink and a frustrated dishwasher, it becomes quite easy for you to fall behind on schedule. Here are some essential washing equipment that will help you save time and money and probably the sanity of some of your workers!

1.      Commercial Tapware

Thin streaks of water, drips, or a tap which has plumping problems, can waste a lot of time. In a bar, catering business, or a restaurant, having state-of-the-art, commercial tapware is essential. Wall mounts, tap bodies, tap basin kits or deck mount facets, you name it, there are dozens of types of commercial tap ware that are beautifully crafted with efficiency and productivity in mind to ensure that your business is always operable.

2.      Spray Arm

Washing dirty plates and large pots can become a stupendous task when all you have is a small sink and a lone tap. A spray arm with rotatable arms and a shower stream can help speed up the process a lot faster. A spray arm enables you to spray small quantities of water directly onto the utensils to ensure that it gets cleaned in a short amount of time. This can be quite useful for extremely dirty dishes that need a quick wash before they can be thoroughly cleaned in a dishwasher.

3.      Commercial Sink Bench

Sink benches are available in single or double bowl, but if you run a busy kitchen and expect clean dishes to rack up really fast, consider the double bowl sink bench, which cannot only be used for washing and drying dishes, but also preparing food items. The stainless material is easy to maintain and is durable for rigorous commercial use.

4.      Commercial Dishwasher

All of us have dishwashers in our homes, and they make our lives so much easier. Just chucking the dishes in after a long day of work is so much easier than slaving away at the sink and getting elbows deep in dirty water and suds. When your business starts racking up plates by the hundreds, it is time to invest in a commercial dishwasher. It is high-powered, efficient and precise. Moreover, it will eliminate the need of having a staff member constantly operate the sink station.

5.      Cutlery and Glass Polishers

When you are aiming for the stars and want to make an impression on your customers and clients, it is essential that the cutlery is free of any cloudy residue from the washing powder or any fingerprints for that matter. It’s not Sherlock and your connoisseurs would appreciate a spot-free and sparkling piece of cutlery, whether it s a piece of cutlery or a glass. A cutlery or a glass polisher will help you run a commercial kitchen smoothly. Your staff won’t have to look for drop marks or residue anymore and they won’t have to carry around a tea towel anymore.
