All You Need to Know about Smallwares for Restaurants

When it comes to running a successful restaurant, having the right supplies is crucial. Smallwares are an often overlooked but essential component of any restaurant's setup. From flatware and cookware to food storage containers and cutting boards, smallwares are necessary in order to ensure efficient service and a quality dining experience. Let’s explore the various types of smallwares that every restaurant should have on hand.

Types of Smallwares

Smallwares come in all shapes and sizes, from large pieces like scoops and chafers to smaller items like measuring spoons and thermometers. There are four main categories of smallwares that every restaurant should consider stocking up on: utensils, cookware, food storage containers, and cutting boards. Here is a brief overview of each type:

  • Utensils – These include all the items you need for serving meals like ladles, tongs, spatulas, forks, knives, serving spoons, and more. It’s important to make sure you have enough utensils available so that your staff can efficiently serve customers without having to constantly run back and forth between the kitchen and dining room.
  • Cookware – This includes pots and pans as well as baking sheets and other baking equipment like rolling pins or pastry cutters. Having quality cookware will help ensure that your dishes turn out perfectly every time.
  • Food Storage Containers – These are used for storing raw ingredients as well as finished dishes before they are served. It’s important to keep your ingredients properly stored so that they don’t spoil or become contaminated with bacteria or cross-contamination from other ingredients.
  • Cutting Boards – You will need these for prepping vegetables or meats before cooking them or slicing bread before serving it. Having several different sizes of cutting boards ensures that you always have one handy when needed.

Having the right smallwares is essential for any restaurant operation to run smoothly. From utensils to cookware to food storage containers and cutting boards; there is a wide variety of smallwares available for restaurants to choose from depending on their needs. Investing in quality smallwares now can save you money in the long run by ensuring efficient service and great-tasting dishes every time.

Restaurant Equipment: Essential Tools for a Successful Kitchen

When it comes to running a successful restaurant, having the right equipment is key. From preparing ingredients to storing perishables, reliable and efficient restaurant equipment can make a world of difference in the kitchen. Whether you're opening a new restaurant or looking to upgrade your current setup, here are some essential pieces of equipment to consider

      Refrigeration Units: Proper refrigeration is crucial for keeping ingredients at safe temperatures and reducing waste. Invest in commercial refrigerators and freezers to ensure the freshness and longevity of your ingredients.
      Refrigerated Prep Table: A stainless steel sandwich prep table is a must-have for any deli or restaurant that serves sandwiches. This versatile piece of equipment provides a dedicated workspace for prepping ingredients, keeping them fresh and easily accessible.
      Ovens and Grills: From baking to grilling, ovens and grills are essential for cooking a wide range of dishes. Invest in high-quality equipment that is efficient and durable to meet the demands of a busy kitchen.
      Commercial Dishwashers: Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene is of utmost importance in any restaurant. Commercial dishwashers are designed to handle the high volume of dishes, ensuring they are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
      Food Storage Containers: To keep ingredients organized and fresh, invest in a variety of food storage containers. Choose containers that are stackable, easy to label, and can withstand the rigors of a busy kitchen.
      Preparation Equipment: Efficiently prepping ingredients is vital to managing a smooth kitchen operation. Consider investing in food processors, slicers, and mixers to expedite the prep process and reduce labor.
      Safety Equipment: Prioritize the safety of your staff and customers by equipping your kitchen with fire suppression systems, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits.
      Ventilation Systems: Proper ventilation is critical for maintaining a comfortable and safe kitchen environment. Install commercial-grade ventilation systems to remove smoke, odors, and excess heat, ensuring a pleasant dining experience.
      Durable Cookware: Invest in high-quality pots, pans, and utensils that can withstand the demands of a commercial kitchen. Durable cookware can ensure even heat distribution and prevent utensils from warping or breaking.
      Point of Sale (POS) System: Streamline your restaurant's ordering process and improve efficiency with a reliable POS system. Choose a system that integrates seamlessly with your other equipment and allows for easy tracking of sales and inventory.

By investing in the right restaurant equipment, you can create a productive and efficient kitchen that meets the demands of your business and satisfies your customers. Ensure that you choose equipment that fits your specific needs, budget, and long-term goals. Good equipment is not only a smart investment but also a key factor in the success of your restaurant.
