Refrigeration : One Of The MostImportant Equipment For CateringEquipment

One of the most important equipment to consider when opening a foodoutlet store of any size is suitable refrigeration. We all know that withoutproper refrigeration, you cannot have proper food.

Refrigeration units are like the wheels in a commercial kitchen or acorner cafe. Therefore it is vital to ensure that you have the right unitsfor your needs both in terms of your menu and space.

When searching for commercial refrigeration, there are several thingsyou need to remember to ensure that you buy a unit that will suit yourneeds and which will give you value for your money. What are some ofthe things to look at when purchasing the right unit for your refrigerationneeds?

Space

This is the most limiting factor for all businesses requiring commercialrefrigeration. So before you buy the massive jumbo double door fridgeor the slim single door merchandiser – have a look at where you want tokeep the unit. Once you have decided on the space, get your measuringtape and measure up the width, depth and height – make sure you leaveenough room at the back to allow for good airflow.

Efficiency

Every business would like to cut unnecessary costs and wastage ofenergy. In refrigeration, you have to be careful because this is one of themost used units in a commercial kitchen or restaurant. As such, you wantto make the most of the unit without losing its efficiency. So how do youdetermine which unit will be the best? Well, first you need to know whatyou will be using the refrigeration unit for – is it merchandising drinks,

cakes, flowers or storing ingredients? Secondly, will be you be lettingcustomers access the items in the fridge because you intend to keep it forfront end use – or do you only want staff to access the fridge?

All this will help you determine the right efficiency by ensuring you getthe right type from either a chest type or standing door type. There arealso those that come with split doors which are the most efficient.Because only one half of the fridge is open at any one time, the otherhalf retains the cold air and thus efficiency is improved.

Mobility

Are you the type that likes to keep things clean (which is a good thingfor a restaurant!) then you surely need refrigeration that comes onwheels! Having wheels on your fridge is convenient for a number ofreasons like mobility for cleaning, transport and re-arranging yourkitchen or shop to give it a fresh look.
