Written by Elevation Foodservice Reps | Sep 28, 2021 5:49:20 PM

We all know how labor-intensive your commercial kitchen can get. With all the prep and numerous cooking techniques you juggle to complete orders each day, you may find yourself spending more than you had budgeted for. This, coupled with labor shortages, can make it even harder to manage your commercial kitchen. The good thing is that there are alternative labor-saving means that can help you manage your commercial kitchen, making it even more profitable.

But, is labor-saving in your commercial kitchen applicable?  Here are tips on how you can find labor-saving equipment to boost efficiency and productivity in your commercial kitchen.

Consider Efficiency and Effectiveness

If you are looking for the best way to simplify all your cooking practices, you should consider an oven that is both efficient and cost-effective.  Manufactured at a compact 38" footprint and using their latest Helix Technology,  Blodgett Hydrovection Ovens allows you to bake, roast, gratinate and poach using up less space in your kitchen. 

 

Save on both time and money by utilizing one of Middleby Marshall's CTX infrared ovens.  Using its automated cooking platform, the CTX can cook, bake, broil, sear, steam, or sous vide dishes in high volume. Expect better food quality and consistency when using this versatile piece of equipment, eliminating the need to remake or comp meals for your valued paying customers.

Self-venting fryers from Perfect Fry are also a great labor-saving option for those looking to cut down on costs.  Available in both semi-automatic and fully automatic models, these fryers eliminate the need for conventional hoods and vents that are usually expensive to maintain. As a result, you profit from huge labor savings, allowing you to dedicate your money to other kitchen matters.

How About Convenience?

With a remote ice delivery, you enjoy the convenience of working from as far as 23 meters (just over 75 feet) away from your ice delivery machine.  This can only mean that you do not have to place your ice equipment in your kitchen, and this gives you enough room for other more demanding kitchen affairs.

With a Follett RIDE System, you can mount this equipment either in the back of your operation or even under a counter, allowing for a better customer experience. In addition to less heat and noise coming from the fountain area, RIDE technology also features a cleaning and sanitizing dispenser that is quicker and more cost-effective than competing ice machine systems.  

Transport & Prep for Less

If you are looking for durable insulated food transport carts for your outside catering business, healthcare foodservice operation, or K-12 foodservice program, Cambro offers up plenty of reliable options like the Pro Cart Ultra. You can transport both hot and cold food all in one cart. Also, you won't have to worry about finding an available outlet nearby because these carts keep food at their exact serving temperature for 4+ hours thanks to thick CFC-free insulation.
