It’s extremely important to keep your restaurant equipment clean. Clean kitchen equipment is critical for food safety and for maintaining local health code standards, but it is also an important part of keeping your restaurant equipment in good working order. Dirty equipment can lead to build up on critical components that interfere with how the equipment works. When you have a regular cleaning schedule with your staff, you know that your equipment will be cleaned on a consistent basis. When you set up a cleaning schedule, ensure that your staff is trained in the correct cleaning procedures for all the different pieces of equipment, so that they don’t cause damage.
