Having the appropriate shelving in your restaurant’s kitchen is one of the keys to owning and running a successful and efficient restaurant. There are a variety of different shelves made of various metals and materials you can choose from to store your ingredients, tools, dishes, cutlery, and more!
Types of Shelving
Solid Shelves
Solid shelves don’t have slats, which means nothing will fall through as they might with vented shelves. Solid shelves are easier to clean, but do not offer the same type of ventilation that slatted shelves do.
Vented (aka Slatted) Shelves
Vented shelves are great for cold storage because the ventilation allows for long product life. These shelves can be harder to clean, but there are options to purchase shelving with removable parts for easier cleaning.
Material Types
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is extremely durable and corrosion resistant. Regardless of temperature, stainless steel is durable in any environment.
Chrome Wire
Shelving made with chrome wire works well in warm or heated environments and for dry storage.
Polymer
Polymer shelving is extremely resistant to corrosion and it’s dishwasher safe!
There are plenty of options when it comes to shelving making it difficult to decide which is best for your restaurant. Remember to make sure your shelving is practical, but also follows health codes and guidelines.
