Embarking on a Commercial Kitchen Journey
Revamping or initiating your commercial kitchen is no small feat. You've got to juggle adhering to the myriad of regulations whilst ensuring your setup doesn't slack in the food service department. Key among these? The all-important 'Certificate of Cleanliness' for your extraction system – it's not just a formality but a legal must-have. Skimp on kitchen design and watch it take a toll on your service efficiency, regardless of how spacious your kitchen is or how tight the budget.
The Heart of the Kitchen: Extraction Systems
Extractor fans or duct systems, crucial for ousting unwanted odours, hazardous gases, and grease, are a big part of this equation. Depending on the scale of your culinary empire, the size of the system you opt for will vary. But remember, this isn't just about ticking boxes for the Health & Safety Executives and Local Authorities; it's about crafting an environment that elevates your food service.
Keeping Up with Regulations
Regular checks by the local fire brigade and health inspectors are part and parcel of running a commercial kitchen. They'll be eyeing your extraction system and its upkeep closely. So, keeping that 'Certificate of Cleanliness' – your gold star for maintenance from a pro duct-cleaning service – on hand for inspections is crucial.
