Safety and efficiency go hand in hand. A messy, dirty and under-maintenance back-of-house can lead to potential health hazards for both your customers and employees. A properly equipped cooking environment equals a more productive cooking team, because workers can focus on what is important: the food.
First and foremost, your team needs to feel comfortable. In order to achieve that, you need to encourage your workers by recognizing when a job is well done, giving them incentives both financial and emotional, communicating which are your team’s objectives and responding accordingly whenever they are reached or not.

Covid-19 served as a reason to strengthen and reassure cleaning measurements. Now more than ever, it is important to use antiseptic products to ensure all surfaces in direct contact with your final products are clean and safe for consumption.

Besides cleaning fruits and vegetables, following Covid-19 measures and recommendations, as well as keeping the kitchen floors and equipment clean, are the basic elements of a safe kitchen. However, it’s also important to have a clean ventilation system: the release of greasy particles when cooking can lead to a “clogging” of the vents, hoods and other parts of the ventilation system. This blockage will then exacerbate further exhaustion of the fumes released during cooking. Hence, and due to the inflammable quality of greases and oils, this can lead to a fire not only in your kitchen but in other parts of the restaurant.
