What makes a business can stay long? It’s no other than
image. Once the customers have a good impression on your business, they will
keep coming back to find it. In gourmet business, our restaurant’s life depends
on the quality of food we make. It doesn’t have to only delicious, but also
guarantee not to intoxicate the customers. Quality of food doesn’t come only
from good ingredients, but also how safe and healthy the process to produce it.
In dirty environment, we tend to help growing bacteria which affect the quality
of food, not to mention if the dust and dirt also have their role. Once your
customer is caught getting poisoned by your food, it can be the end of your
business and life as well.
It explains why the cleanliness is the most basic things in
food business. Commercial kitchen cleaning is not a joke that everyone can do.
Remember that you can’t even use the same knives to cut fish and vegetable
since it will bring cross contamination? It’s only small thing that people
still do but has a big impact. The big part like kitchen certainly needs extra
attention. Cleaning kitchen is not done every end of the day, but the regular
one is done before and after cooking. We make sure things are clean before we
start and after we finish it. Not only the appliances, but the cooking table,
stove, storage and even ventilation need to be taken care of.
Commercial kitchen is similar as operating theater that it
needs to be completely clean. Every six month, deep cleaning is a much. Here
you need to do a stem cleaning on the whole kitchen interior and exterior that
will help to clean it out of the dirt, dust, bacteria, odor and any other
contaminants without chemical cleaning agents. Deep cleaning is normally done
by professional.
