“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.

Smarter commercial foodservice equipment can help you make the most of every square foot and open up those bottlenecks.

The following four questions can help you assess how your wooden shelving is affecting your food storage and kitchen operations. 1.      Is your team able to keep your food storage areas clean and sanitary? Coated or painted wood tends to peel or chip over time, especially with heavy use, regular cleaning, and friction from items like #10 cans.  One employee may overzealously scrub the paint off in an attempt to keep shelves clean, while another may clean too gently so they don’t damage it. Others may skip it entirely because it’s too much work, and it looks the same whether they do it or not. Unfortunately, if the paint or coating is chipping or peeling, there's no telling where it will en...
