Maximizing Your Commercial Kitchen Space

Author: Melissa Humphries

Your kitchen is supposed to be a clean place where you find solace after a long day and cook yourself a meal. It becomes even more important when you are using your kitchen for commercial purposes. Nothing frustrates you more than seeing a cluttered up kitchen when your customers are craving a delicious meal. Nobody wants to go inside a disorganized kitchen and spend half an hour to sort things before cooking a meal. So why not get your kitchen in good shape? Here is a guide to maximize your commercial kitchen space.

Shelves

Shelves are your main area. This is where all the organization, planning, and execution take place. Everything from pots, pans, and food items that are supposed to be in the fridge are seen partying on your shelves. Shelves come in a variety of sizes. Having the right shelf size ensures that you have got the right things at their rightful place.

Full-sized shelves may not be suitable for every kitchen so the best possible choice is installing multiple individual sets of shelves. You can install two shelves on top of each other and put your things there or you can install a separate small shelf just near your cooking area for placing commonly used ingredients like spices and herbs.

Standalone shelves are also a great way to minimize scattering or losing utensils. It often happens that your cooks struggle to find a tool because it is shoved up somewhere deep inside the cabinet. You can install these shelves to make some extra space.

Racks

Racks like shelves are storage units. But unlike shelves, they have a different function. They are normally used to store smaller things like spice jars but they can also be used for small food items like nut jars, chips, etc. Racks come in many types. A vertical rack is a preferred choice for most commercial kitchens as they take up very less space. It is much better if you get a countertop vertical rack so you can keep your utensils in order. Horizontal racks can also be used the same way as you would use a vertical rack but they take up considerable space. That is why they are more suitable for bigger kitchens. If you have bigger shelves, you can install these racks to keep things in organized rows.

Under-Table Storage

Kitchen countertops can take a lot of space in your commercial kitchen. But that does not mean that you should not have space for all other necessary equipment. Check out the under-table storage selection for the very best in unique or custom, handmade pieces. The kitchen counters don’t have cupboards underneath which is why you can use the space to install under the table storage where you can do some ‘under the table management’.
