Want to start the new year with a little bit of extra cheer? We’re counting down our favourite money-saving foodservice tools. These essentials do it all, from improving food quality and enhancing customer satisfaction to increasing efficiency and reducing costs across your operation.
So, put on your cost-cutter’s hat and get ready to perk up your profit margins—here are our must-haves for saving money in the kitchen.
VEGETABLE DICERS & CHOPPERS
Having gadgets that can chop, dice, and mince ingredients significantly faster than manual methods makes it easy for one person to take on a list of prep tasks that would typically require a team.
Plus, by getting more consistent cuts of tomatoes, onions, and other vegetables, you’ll be able to cook things more evenly, plate better portions, and reduce food spoilage from over-prepping or overcooking.
FOOD PROCESSORS
These versatile machines effortlessly tackle grating, mixing, shredding, pureeing, and other time-consuming tasks, allowing you to reduce the number of staff needed for prep work.
By ensuring more uniform cuts, food processors also improve presentation quality and portion control, while minimizing food waste.
COMMERICAL SLICERS
Quality slicers can process hundreds of pounds of meats, cheeses, and veggies per hour without breaking a sweat.
Plus, an automated slicer can streamline workflow, speed up a dish’s prep time, and provide energy savings while serving up slices with precision and enviable consistency.
COMBI OVENS
Combi ovens are multitasking dream machines, letting you steam, roast, and bake dishes with the push of a button.
By using a combination of convection and steam to cook food faster, combi ovens cut down on wasted energy, lower your water and electricity bills, and deliver dishes that are cooked more evenly.
COMMERICAL DISHWASHERS
Want to tackle more dishes while reducing labour, water, and energy costs? Cue the commercial dishwashers. These hardworking machines can quickly turn over large loads of dishes, ensuring smooth service during your busiest hours.
Plus, high-quality commercial dishwashers are built to last longer, allowing you to save money on repairs and replacements.
DIGITAL PORTION SCALES
The key to consistency? Precision. Which is why we love digital scales. These meticulous marvels allow you to serve up more exact portion sizes dish after dish, helping you cut down on expensive food waste.
Providing this consistency will also lead to more precise inventory management, preventing over-ordering, and improving the accuracy of your ingredients deliveries.
