Commercial kitchen efficiency tips

In the fast-paced world of hospitality and the pressures of running a commercial kitchen, efficiency is one of the keys to success.

Whether it’s a restaurant, events venue, or catering business, time management and streamlining operations are an essential way to increase profitability.

When assessing and making changes to enhance efficiency, many restaurant operators look at :

  • improved kitchen layout
  • a well-designed menu
  • better preparation techniques
  • batch cooking
  • staff training
  • effective communication
  • inventory management

While all these techniques will certainly enhance kitchen efficiency and profitablity, often overlooked is the investment in time-saving, commercial-grade kitchen equipment and appliances.

How Oz Tank soak tanks improve kitchen efficiency and increase profitability

Don’t scrub it. Soak it!

OZ Tank soaking tanks bring many benefits to a commercial kitchen environment including enhacing efficency and boosting profitability.

Reducing labour costs
In any commercial kitchen, cleaning is a time consuming daily task. Oz Tank soaking tanks reduce staff cleaning times and, therefore, direct labour costs. This equates to a reduction in the costs associated with manual, labour-intensive cleaning methods.

Reducing cleaning costs
Oz Tank soak tanks efficiently clean bulky and problematic commercial kitchen equipment (extraction filters, oven grids, grates, gas rings, deep fry baskets) with ease. Conventional cleaning of these items is time consuming and, often, not completed regularly due to the difficulty of the task. Oz Tank makes these processes efficient, cost-effective and simple.

Adherence to health and safety standards
Strict health and safety regulations mean that inspection officers are no longer prepared to allow the use of dirty filters and the like. Inappropriate filter cleaning can not only be insufficient, but can lead to damage with expensive replacement costs necessary.  Oz Tank soak tanks effectively clean filters without causing damage to ensure adherence to health and safety standards.

Reducing equipment replacement costs
Commercial grade kitchen equipment is expensive. Irregular or insufficient cleaning schedules allow carbon layers to accumulate and harden of equipment, making it difficult to remove with replacement often the only option.
