Everything in its Place: The Art of Foodservice Organization

“A place for everything and everything in its place." 

This familiar saying, a modern version of a quote from Benjamin Franklin, means that the foundation of good organization is giving every item a home. In a foodservice environment, that practice pays big dividends. Clean and organized workspaces help employees stay focused, efficient, and safe.

Today, we’re talking about keeping workspaces clear with the right equipment to give a safe and proper home to utensils, knives, supplies, sheet pans, and more.

 

The Quantum Foodservice Store Grid Task Station clears the clutter and puts your wall space to work. 

Store Grid Systems are available with a variety of custom-configurable shelves, bins, baskets, and hooks that keep frequently used utensils and supplies visible and accessible, yet up and out of the way. 

 

Knives need to be handy, but they create a hazard when left on work tables or loose in drawers or bins. Edlund offers an exclusive line of Knife Racks with a unique v-slot insert design that holds knives upright and more securely. 

They hold multiple chef’s knives plus room for smaller knives, a cleaver, steel and even scissors. Knife rack skirted models KR-699 and KR-700 protect the knives and operators from accidents.

 

Clean up your food prep area with the ideal alternative to flimsy and porous cardboard film and cling wrap boxes. 

The hygienic KenKut 3 by TableCraft can hold 12-18" rolls up to 6" diameter (3,000 ft roll) and features both a slide cutter and metal safety blade, plus non-slip feet, for easy two-handed use. The wall-mounting option can free up counter space.

 

Mobile Tray Drying Racks by Channel Manufacturing efficiently and hygienically dry trays, sheet pans, and various other food service items using vertical space instead of work surfaces for drying. 

Available in multiple configurations, mobile drying racks are equipped with 5” full-swivel, non marking casters and come with a lifetime guarantee against rust.

Inclined angle and T-Bar guides provides easy access for can selection, rotation, and first-in-first-out inventory control when loaded from the rear. Can Storage Racks are equipped with standard 5″ full swivel non-marking casters and come with a lifetime guarantee against rust and corrosion.
