Okay, so you’re eatery was closed for a long time due to the pandemic, but as this pandemic is ebbing a little, governments all over the world are allowing the opening up of establishments so that the economy can start running. However, it is easier said than done and though you are eager to open up your restaurant and serve customers to earn your living, it will take some planning and work on your part to get everything ready. As your kitchen was closed for several months, you have to look at several things before you make your kitchen operational.
The commercial kitchen equipment
The first thing you have to do is check the condition of
your kitchen equipment. We suggest that you should take the help of the hotel kitchen equipment manufacturers
from whom you have bought your kitchen equipment(s). They can send their
personal to inspect the equipment and certify that it is ready and you can
operate it safely.
A vigorous cleaning
of the kitchen
While you must check the kitchen equipment(s) before
operationalizing your restaurant, you should not neglect the basic task of giving
a thorough cleaning to the kitchen and the eating area. As the kitchen was
closed for several months, you must deep clean your restaurant, clean any food
material that was left in the refrigerator, clean the dishwasher bay and other
parts of the kitchen. You should use disinfectants to make the place hygienic.
Give a call to the
service provider
Before you open your restaurant, you should ask the service
provider to come and inspect all the systems in your kitchen that include the
hood fans, the ducts, and the fire system. In addition, they should also look
for any problem with the coils as well the blowers. The specialist should also
look at the refrigerator and the freezer to find whether they are operating
optimally or they need servicing.
You should check them
pilot lights
When you close the gas supply to your stove or the
convection oven, then the pilot lights need to be relit again. To do this you
should be very cautious and should follow the manufacturers’ direction
thoroughly. You should not take any chances while doing the relighting process.
If you are not confident enough to do it yourself, then you should ask the commercial kitchen equipment supplier
to send a specialist who will do it for you.
If you follow these procedures, then you can open your
restaurant with complete confidence that everything is ready and you can open
your business.
