There's change in the air as we head into the final few weeks of 2016. School terms are wrapping up, and people are beginning to leave the office for a well-earned holiday. All of this translates to one thing for culinary businesses – more customers. In fact, the holiday season is perhaps the busiest time of the year for food service, be it through event catering or cafe walk-ins.
While this is great for business owners, the increase in hungry mouths to feed can put a fair amount of stress on even the most well-oiled kitchen's staff and commercial cooking appliances. Hiring extra pairs of hands over summer is an easy way to fix some of these issues, but what about the strain on your kitchen equipment? To make sure each unit is up to the challenge, it's critical to get them properly serviced and invest in any necessary replacement parts.
Any equipment that's old, unreliable or hasn't been professionally serviced in a while needs to be looked at.
Servicing your equipment
Perhaps most importantly, any equipment that's old, unreliable or hasn't been professionally serviced in a while needs to be looked at by an expert. When you buy from Moffat, you get the peace of mind that comes with a reliable brand, but in order to maintain a high level of quality from each unit, you do need to give each unit the right amount of care and attention. Regular maintenance and thorough cleaning should already be happening, but some issues may not be obvious without a degree of expertise.
That's where Moffat's service team can help. They're experts in the brands that we supply, and provide 24/7 support to make sure that your entire kitchen is sturdy enough to handle even the busiest of holiday rushes. You can also book service check-ups online for full convenience, so there's no reason not to have every piece of equipment in great condition before the busy December period.
Finding the right parts
Identifying any potential problems with your equipment is key, but the process of getting ready for Christmas doesn't end there. If any issues do rear their ugly heads, you'll need to be able to get them resolved right away. Even one day without a functioning oven can have a substantial impact on your bottom line, so if a spare or replacement part is required, you need it fast.
To facilitate this, we've launched the Moffat Spare Parts Webstore. The webstore makes it easy to browse for the replacement component you need, and from secure purchase through to tracked shipping, it's simple to keep an eye on the entire process.
Our goal is to keep you cooking without any interruptions, so if you've got any equipment concerns, be sure to get in touch today.
