Purchasing Quality Commercial Restaurant Equipment to cater for Valentines day!

Valentine's day is a day of celebration of love and most people choose this day to take their beloved out for a romantic dinner for two! The regular cliches of candlelit dinners under the moon are particularly pronounced at this time. This article shall outline how a restaurant owner can capitalize on this demand by simple low cost investments that not only can help you at this time but throughout the year.

Commercial catering equipment is durable equipment that restaurants use to prepare/store food and drinks for their patrons. It ranges from an oven range to the humble teaspoon and the wide spectrum in between. Often, simple improvements or changes can make a massive difference. Below are some low cost ideas to jump start any restaurant especially during this time:

• Add a splash of colour : For a couple of $100 investing in red crockery or red napkins (not all red) perhaps mixed in with your standard white crockery can make a massive difference. Red is a colour that can be used at different times of the year (Christmas, Easter, any time in the winter) as it symbolizes love and warmth.

• Give a gift : A simple investment in some heart shaped lollies or chocolates served at the end of the meal can mean a world of difference and can make a memorable night. Similarly, investing in simple designer commercial crockery (red bowls, cups, sauce dishes etc.) which costs as little as 50c each filled with a few lollies can leave a sweet taste in anyone’s mouth and mind! Such mementos can last a lifetime when received on an occasion like Valentine’s Day!

• Decorate! : Dress your cake display with hearts or place beans in the shape of a heart and watch the reactions you get! Adding some minor decorations (as long as they are not tacky or dated) can transform the experience of your patrons! Decorating the waiters and waitresses in costumes for the theme can also make a real splash. Pay a visit to your local arts and crafts store to get some ideas or simply google to get some wonderful ideas of how you can decorate.

• Introduce a new dish : Ideally a dessert, this can transform any menu! Watch the patrons lap up whatever you have to offer! Test out the new dish on a small group of your friends or family and practice it in the kitchen. You may need some commercial restaurant cooking equipment but make sure your investment is worthy by testing out the dish at home first. Inspiration can come from books or online for the new dish but simplicity and quality is the key. Commercial cooking equipment may help you enhance your dish for example the latest selection of cake/chocolate moulds available from Australian Catering Equipment Supplies from Matfer may take your dish to another level and may mean a measly couple of $100 investment!

There are certainly many ideas out there but the best ones are often ones that come after much trial and error! So go out there and experiment! And may you have a successful and prosperous Valentine’s Day!!
