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.
IT'S DURABLE.
Fermod uses polymer shelf inserts and conical metal clamps that are manufactured from aluminum to ensure units are extremely durable and reliable over the life of the unit. Operators gain peace of mind knowing shelving is safe and solid, delivering value over time.
IT'S CAPABLE AND EASY.
While it's important to have shelves with a long shelf life, they should also be able to carry a heavy load. This is certainly the case with Fermod foodservice shelving, with certain configurations including shelves that can support up to a ton of weight.
IT'S ACCESSIBLE.
Fermod shelving units arrived packaged with ease of assembly as a forefront in design. You and your staff won't have to block off days to gather up an assortment of tools, decipher assembly directions in other languages, or need a master's degree in engineering to assemble. We cannot stress how easy it is to assemble Fermod shelving.
Another notable quality of Fermod is shelving is that in today's supply chain run world, Fermod shelving is in stock and able to ship right away. Imagine having your walk in cooler perfectly organized for opening day. That's nearly unheard of!
IT'S CUSTOMIZABLE.
Every back-of-the-house is different. Walk-in coolers are often configured in different ways. This means shelving that can accommodate different spaces and angles is better suited for efficiency. Fermod's foodservice shelving is designed to be customizable in their configurations, and with adjustable legs, they can even be adjusted vertically, as well.
