Running your own restaurant can be rewarding, but it is challenging. Restaurants are made of different moving parts, but a handful of aspects could easily fall behind without you realizing it. When you think of your utensils, you may think that they might only refer to one specific size and shape. However, this is not the case, as there are variations that exist. Picking which ones are a necessity for your eatery could be more complicated than you think, especially with how consumers are a lot more aware of plastics and other utensils and their impact on our environment. You now might be thinking, which ones are worth the hassle? Read on for a few tips to consider while picking the proper utensils for your restaurant in the future!

Restaurant Knives

The knife is likely the most versatile kitchen utensil available. They come in all types of sizes and shapes, a few are sharper than others, and a lot of them serve a different purpose depending on your needs and wants. The primary ones that you will need as a restaurant owner are dinner knives and steak knives. Dinner knives are used to organize and cut your food on your plates, and steak knives have a similar purpose. Steak knives can be serrated or non-serrated, all depending on your preference and what you are serving to your customers. They can be used instead of a dinner knife. Once your customers have carved their steak and want to take home their leftovers, make sure you give them a sturdy takeout container.

Restaurant Spoons

Restaurant spoons are one other important utensil, but you already know that. There are teaspoons, tablespoons, dessert spoons, and soup spoons, just to name a couple, so which ones should you pick for your restaurant? If you serve coffee or tea in your eatery and have multiple tables for your customers, you should also consider investing in teaspoons for stirring cream and coffee. Tablespoons are a popular choice since they’re larger and better suited for large dishes like soup.

Restaurant Forks

Lastly, there are restaurant forks. There are forks for literally everything – salad, dinner, dessert, and even seafood. While it might seem like dinner forks can cover all of your needs, you should probably still have some forks for salads and dinners, at least. It is the most important utensil out there, and make sure you have the right ones ready for their appropriate meal.
