How a commercial kitchen is organized will have a great impact on how efficient it is, how safe it is, and even how profitable it can be. From micro-levels like mise en place where ingredients are organized to better execute service to organizing on bigger scales like storing cleaning solvents in a supply closet, where things are located and how they're organized will have an impact.
EFFICIENCY
Quick location of ingredients and supplies can save valuable time and energy in the middle of a busy rush. This is even more important in today's foodservice environment when staff shortages are the norm, not the exception.
SAFETY
Storage is also important as it relates to staff safety, and as operators can attest, creating a safe work environment can be the difference between landing a new hire and losing her to another restaurant. How and where things are stored will go a long way to determining just how safe a space can be.
PROFITABILITY
It might seem like one of the last things an operator considers when thinking about profitability, but organization matters. Just think about the two points above. If organization saves time, it saves money. And if it prevents injuries, it can eliminate costly worker's comp claims. The bottom line is organization can have an impact.
