Safety and Hygiene in a Commercial Kitchen
In New Zealand, maintaining cleanliness and hygiene is a must. A clean kitchen helps ensure the food tastes as it should, keeps your staff healthy, and earns your customers’ trust. Using non porous surfaces and materials that are easy to clean, like Brayco’s 304 food grade stainless steel benches, reduces the risk of food contamination or pest infestation. Routine cleanups and staff training are essential for smooth operations.
Compliance with safety regulations and best practices is vital for any commercial kitchen. Regular inspections by health authorities ensure that these safety standards are upheld, offering both staff and customers a secure and trustworthy environment.
Choose 304 grade stainless for a commercial kitchen environment. Cheaper brands offer the more porous 430 grade steel that may not comply with food safety regulations. Always check with your local authority before purchasing equipment and furniture for your kitchen.
Your commercial kitchen stands to be the core of an operation that meets and exceeds the highest standards of quality, safety, and customer satisfaction. At Brayco, we’re committed to helping you achieve this vision with our expansive range of high-quality, affordable products.
