The maintenance steps you’ll need to take before the Christmas rush

The festive period is understandably a pretty hectic time for both cafes and restaurants. 

With kids on never ending school holidays and offices empty for Christmas, there’s a huge upturn in the amount of customers that can be expected to pop in for a bite to eat. This is great news, providing an opportunity to make more money, but it also means that there will be more stress placed on the kitchen.

If you’ve invested in high quality commercial cooking equipment, you should be fine, but you do need to be positive that your commercial deep fryers, commercial ovens and everything else can handle the increased volume of clientele. Here are a few steps to take before the rush really gets going in December.

Update and service your equipment

First of all, you should be thinking about any appliances or units that may not quite be up to par with the rest of your fit-out. If these are old or out of date, then it may be the perfect time to look at a replacement. Not only will you not have to worry about any breakdowns, but you’ll also get the benefits of new technology right before the silly season.

In addition, now is when you should be starting to get your commercial kitchen equipment serviced. Whether this is to address a specific problem or just a general checkup, it’s well worth having an expert in to tick all the boxes and make absolutely sure that nothing will go wrong. Booking a service through Comcater is easy, simply fill out this form and we’ll be in touch right away.

Invest in spare parts

Some common wear-and-tear equipment issues can be easily fixed by staff, but they will require the right spare parts. This is especially true with components like filters that may need to be swapped out regularly. To ensure minimal time out of action, get any and all spare parts sorted out well ahead of time.

You can do this by ordering them online through the Comcater Spare Parts store, but if you have any troubles finding the right pieces of equipment, simply talk to our spare parts team using the web chat. They’ll be more than happy to help with whatever you need!
