Your restaurant’s walk-in cooler is one of the most essential parts of a reputable eatery. However, given how busy some days are, it is a struggle to remember to reorganize and clean this area of your kitchen. However, this really does not mean that all hope is entirely lost. There is plenty to do to take care of your restaurant’s cooler. Read on to learn how you’re able to clean up the cooler to make it look presentable in the foreseeable future!
Begin by Cleaning It Out
Cleaning your walk-in cooler is just as essential as cleaning each other areas of your restaurant. By being responsible for this area of the eatery, you can ensure all equipment, ingredients, and cooking tools will not be contaminated accidentally by bacteria that you are unable to see, even underneath ultraviolet light. Mopping the floors and wiping up stains or spills isn’t enough. Cleaning off the shelves off and hitting each corner, even the ones that are not entirely visible, is something you can’t afford to ignore. One of the main consequences could be a failed health inspection, and you can’t let this happen.
Consider Using Applicable Upgrades
Upgrading the shelving within your walk-in cooler is a wise long-term investment. Too much humidity and weight could both take a tool on your shelves, especially if it’s been many years since the last upgrade. Vented shelves or dunnage racks are two options that can help. Whichever shelving changes you decide to make, you still have to make sure there is enough clearance between both the bottom rack of the cooler and the floor to make cleaning it more simple.
Organize it to Finish It
Finally, the time has come to reorganize the entire walk-in cooler. This will make it much easier for your staff to find the ingredients that they require. It could also reduce the possibility of accidental cross-contamination. Remember that the part of your cooler closest to the door has to be the warmest, while the area that is further away will be the coldest. Make sure you’re not blocking ventilation fans since this could cause many more problems.
