THE VALUE OF MAINTENANCE

A variety of commercial kitchen equipment

By – The Editor

A commercial kitchen is a busy place, a mixture of people and equipment working together to meet tight deadlines amid a constant flow of activity. Any interruption impacts output immediately, regardless how small, can be frustrating.  Ovens not coming up to temperature, ice forming too slowly, kitchen getting too hot and hundreds of other issues that foodservice professionals are all too familiar with.
