Take Stock of Your Catering Equipment

For caterers the busy season of parties and weddings has slowed down at the beginning of the year but this doesn’t mean that you have the time to slow down. Sure you can take a break but it’s a good idea to take stock of the catering equipment you have used during the past party season. Having barbecue at your party is a great idea! It will work for almost any occasion that calls for party catering. Here are four events that you can make even better by hiring a bbq catering Sydney.

You would have gone from one function to the next meaning that you packed and unpacked your catering equipment every weekend at different venues. Hopefully, you have a system in place that allows you to keep track of all your catering equipment so that you were ready for the next function. However, during such party seasons, breakages can occur and certain items like crockery and cutlery could disappear. Now that all the functions have subsided it’s a good time to check all your catering equipment so that you can prepare for the functions that will take place during the year.

You can start with the tedious items which are the ones that there are many of. This would be the cutlery, crockery, glasses, cups and saucers. Start with counting all these items and check that each one is whole and not chipped or cracked. You will notice that some are missing, probably because they were broken at a party. Keep a record of how many of each of these items you have and whether you need to replace a number of them.

Then you will have to check all the bigger catering equipment items such as the urn, food processors, bain maries, and so forth. Inspect each one to see whether it’s not damaged in any way and whether it still functions as it should. If you notice any discrepancy in the way a piece of catering equipment is operating then it is a good idea to take it to a technician to have it checked and repaired. Or if it’s too badly damaged, it might be a good idea to replace the item.

Next you can assess what type of catering equipment you may need in this next year that would improve your catering service based on the past party season. For example, would you benefit from having a movable gas stove, or a vegetable cutter? Would you save time if a machine could dice and slice the vegetables for you? Would it be better to take your own stove with you to a hall? Consider catering equipment that will streamline your catering service by improving your productivity. It’s all about efficiency in the cooking process so that you can offer your guests delicious and consistent meals throughout your service.

While the rush has paused for a while, take the time to check all your catering equipment, account for all of the items you have in stock and repair or replace the commercial kitchen equipment where necessary. If you do this now you will thank yourself later in the year because when the rush season starts again you will be ready to tackle those catering jobs with all your new and fixed equipment.
