The professional kitchen is the cornerstone of restaurant business, so it is crucial to perfectly organize spaces and appliances inside it.<\/strong> Making more space in your kitchen is often a smart move that can improve the quality of work and customer satisfaction as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n In this article we will address the issue of spaces in commercial kitchens giving advice on how to make the most of every square inch of your<\/strong> restaurant.<\/strong> We will focus on the features of small pizza ovens<\/strong> and we will help you choose a professional oven<\/u> <\/strong><\/a><\/b>suitable for your needs that can provide high performance even in tiny spaces.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A clean and orderly kitchen<\/strong> is always a happy workplace. Restaurant professionals know full well the importance of having everything in place and close at hand<\/strong> and everyone dreams of working in a spacious, fully-equipped commercial kitchen. Unfortunately, the real world is very different and only a tiny part of professional kitchens shares these traits. Many restaurants don\u2019t recycle litter because they don\u2019t have enough place to put the bins<\/strong>, have cramped kitchens where staff break their backs or, to cut costs, skimp on ventilation systems<\/strong> forcing the personnel to work in scorching hot places with grease smell spreading all over the dining room not to mention bustling waiters that get in the way.<\/strong><\/p>\n Saving space in the kitchen is key to increase the level of efficiency<\/strong> as well as the quality of service and a simple way to do that is to trade your old bulky oven for a<\/strong> smaller and more versatile one<\/strong>. Small pizza ovens or built-in ovens<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/b> can also be used for catering activities other than traditional restaurants or pizzerias such as bars, food trucks or street food vendors<\/strong>. All in all, more and more establishments choose small high-performing appliances able to adapt rapidly to the ever-changing customer needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before anything else, choosing the right oven depends on the type of business <\/strong>and on starting a new restaurant or buying an existing one. In the case of a well-equipped commercial kitchen,<\/strong> you could only decide to change your oven for various reasons:<\/p>\n Whether you plan a new restaurant opening or renovation<\/strong>, you have to design a professional kitchen. Its design must allow staff to easily move and perform their tasks keeping in mind the type of food you want to serve<\/strong>. It is also necessary to consider health and hygiene regulations<\/strong> (HACCP) and of course workplace safety rules.<\/p>\n When designing a kitchen layout, it\u2019s important to have a menu in mind<\/strong> because that will affect the choice of the equipment<\/strong>, its place and basically the restaurant workflow. You should take into account structural constraints such as the presence of a load-bearing wall<\/strong>, water or gas pipes, power sockets, entries and exits (including emergency exit)<\/strong> or whatever.<\/p>\n Another major aspect is the ventilation system<\/strong> that has to meet specific requirements according to the kitchen space and the type of equipment<\/strong>. A good solution is to choose certified equipment running without hoods<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/b> (for instance there are many ovens that don\u2019t need to be placed under an extractor fan).<\/p>\n To correctly arrange the building blocks of an industrial kitchen<\/strong>, you have to outline the various paths that food follows according to the principle of la marche en avant (marching forward):<\/p>\n Conforming to la marche en avant, food only moves in one direction through the kitchen in such a way that clean items never cross paths with unclean ones.<\/strong> In the planning stage, you should calculate the materials cost<\/strong> and size<\/strong> to maximise productivity and to reduce inefficiency and waste. For further information read these tips on<\/strong> how to design a professional kitchen.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> The restaurant concept, the food that you will serve and the kitchen equipment to make it are closely related aspects. <\/strong>Do you want to open a pizzeria? So, you should perhaps buy a high-performing wood-fired oven<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/b>. If you think that a restaurant is the right choice, you\u2019d better buy another type of oven<\/strong> and maybe add it to other appliances like a fryer.<\/p>\n You are a bar owner and you want to expand your menu with some fancy dishes?<\/strong> Then, it\u2019s time for a compact oven <\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/b>that will replace equipment such as microwaves, toasters or grills at the same time. At bottom, the type of equipment depends on your menu<\/strong> and as far as small pizza ovens<\/strong> are concerned, they come in different models and prices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> There\u2019s an overwhelming offer of professional ovens<\/strong>, a sector that has been booming for years and is now making inroads into home oven market. For instance, built-in ovens were designed for families<\/strong> who didn\u2019t want to fuss about tricky installation and had to deal with small kitchens. The current ovens are high-performing, compact appliances that may be classified according to different criteria:<\/p>\n In conclusion, optimising the kitchen space allows you to facilitate workflow<\/strong> and to provide services that best meet the customer needs. If lack of space can in a way limit your business development, picking a small pizza oven may quite be the solution to boost your activity<\/strong> and to add new dishes to your menu. There\u2019s a nearly endless array of ovens<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/b>, in terms of price and features, so what are you waiting for?
