Kitchen Inventory Management – Where To Get Started?



Setting up a new commercial kitchen certainly poses several challenges to the restaurant owners or canteen owners. Not all commercial kitchens are the same. When you are getting started with the setup process you need to take this factor into account only then it would be possible for you to deliver the right experience for your customers.

Some of them are linked to the restaurants where the food prepared is consumed by the guests who come to the restaurants not just for the food served but for an experience and to celebrate special occasions. So it is not enough in such situations to put plain food out there. The menu itself should be something special to create the special experience for the guests. There are canteens that are linked to factories where the food served is more of a functional meal and the food served there would be nothing compared to a fancy restaurant. There are fast food outlets and also takeaways. Each one of them has different operational parameters. Besides all these there are also commercial kitchens that are associated with airline food supplies or other similar food supply situations where only specific menu is prepared on daily basis and packed. 

Kitchen inventory management for each one of these situations would vary. You will not be having the same køkkenartikler or the same kind of equipment in different kitchen scenarios. The starting point therefore is first understanding the nature of your operations and the purpose of your kitchens. Once you have identified the purpose you should also check whether there are any possibilities of your kitchen’s purpose changing or taking a dual role in the near future. If yes, then you should also take into account such changes when sourcing your kitchen inventory.

The next step is making an elaborate list to include all the items that need to be sourced to setup your kitchen. You should include everything from kokkeknive to serving dishes. Under each item there will be different types and you need to decide which type to select. For example if you need to buy mixers there would be hand mixers, table top mixers and floor models, which one is suitable for your need. Would you need more than one type of mixer in your kitchen? All these factors have to be reviewed and the list should be finalized. The second step therefore is having a clear understanding of what you need for the kitchen that you are setting up.

Thirdly, you need to source these items and instead of trying to visit multiple stores and ordering all the kitchen equipment from various stores you should find a store with the most exhaustive inventory of kitchen equipment. Initially it will take some time to identify such a store but it is worth investing your time to find such stores and once you manage to find the right suppliers you will be able to save a lot of time on the long run. You do not have to go through the long and cumbersome search process every time you need your kitchen equipment or every time something needs to be replaced. You need to look for the best quality kitchen supplies. Quality should be one of your primary criteria while selecting your supplier. Any mistakes in this area would prove to be disadvantageous for you on the long run. Poor quality equipment will frequently run into issues and this will disrupt your kitchen operations. When you invest in the best quality kitchen equipment you can be sure of the smooth operations. 

You should of course be comparing the prices but while comparing the prices you should not blindly settle for the lowest prices without taking the quality factor into account. Find the best suppliers who would be selling the finest quality supplies at the most competitive prices. 

When you go by the series of steps discussed above you will be able to find the best supplies for your kitchen inventory. When you are planning for a new kitchen you should not limit yourself to just the immediate concerns but you should plan for the long term. Waste no time, do not wait until the last moment to get started with your search for the best suppliers of kitchen inventory. There are many suppliers and all of them promise great service but not all of them live up to their promises you need to therefore make the right choices.
