Running a professional catering business has become not so much difficult, but often even impossible, in the age of a pandemic. Nevertheless, there are already voices that in the coming months, gastronomy will again open up to customers, and places that have collapsed due to the pandemic will be replaced by new dining options. However, in the following guide, we will focus on those who are looking for a chance and start their adventure with professional gastronomy. Based on the opening of a new business in the form of a restaurant, snack bar or mini-gastronomy. We will try to help these people and companies, advising them on how to equip their premises with professional equipment, mainly focusing on gastronomic furniture .

 

GP | Catering furniture – basic statement

When it comes to the equipment of professional gastronomy, it is never unambiguous. Large restaurants need a different type of equipment, small eateries still need another. When it comes to professional gastronomic furniture , their division is as follows:

  • furniture intended for the kitchen and catering facilities,
  • furniture for storing products,
  • furniture intended for everyday gastronomic use, such as cutting tables, all kinds of cabinets and tables,
  • furniture intended for customers, we mean tables, chairs, umbrellas and all kinds of accessories.

Speaking of professional gastronomic furniture, we will focus more on furniture necessary in the kitchen, catering facilities and furniture adapted to food storage and storage.

There are two types of furniture that really work for the kitchen. The first of them is stainless steel furniture , which, as you know, are designed for the gastronomy and food industry. The second is furniture made of special plastics or even wood, but covered with appropriate coatings, with special tops, for example tops made of natural stone, conglomerate or plastics. Both types of furniture have their advantages and disadvantages, however, stainless steel furniture is much more often used to prepare food and meals.

 

GP | Stainless steel furniture – advantages and disadvantages

When it comes to the use of gastronomic furniture in the kitchen, stainless steel furniture is second to none. It is the best type of furniture for this job, thanks to its parameters:

  • stainless steel is completely indifferent to food,
  • it is very easy to clean a stainless steel surface,
  • stainless steel does not deteriorate or cause rotting of food products,
  • stainless steel does not corrode, so that the preparation on stainless food surfaces does not cause structural and molecular changes to the steel.

As for the disadvantages of using stainless furniture, there are practically none. The only disadvantage is definitely the price, because the cost of stainless steel is several times higher than that of carbon steel, wood, conglomerate, and can be comparable with the cost of natural stone. Nevertheless, an investment in stainless steel furniture for kitchen supplies and kitchen facilities is the best investment in catering furniture.

 

GP | Stainless steel furniture - It is not worth saving.

When it comes to stocking kitchen furniture and all kinds of furnishings, then savings are not a good idea in this case. Furniture, like kitchen appliances for food production, is essential and should not be spared. A larger investment allows for a more comfortable and functional use of the furniture, and thus significantly improves the efficiency of work in the kitchen and in the back room.

When choosing good quality gastronomic furniture, you can assume that you choose them for many years and you can safely treat it as an investment. Cheap inadequate furniture may not only be ineffective, but also quickly damaged, and even questioned by the health and safety department.
