How Important is Catering Equipment Disposal?

 

Catering equipment can be the most important piece of kit you ever buy. But catering equipment disposal can be just as important a consideration.

Many businesses — whether small scale or even international — find that they would be unable to operate without reliable, high quality catering equipment. Catering equipment speeds up service, cooks ingredients to perfection, stores things effectively to avoid spoilage, and also performs cleaning and disposal functions too.

It is vital that you have the right catering equipment to suit your needs and business, but have you thought about disposal options too? Disposing of catering equipment correctly is vital for the smooth running and effectiveness of the business overall.

The Benefits of Effective Catering Equipment Disposal

 

It is likely that you put a lot of thought into the catering equipment you purchased for your business. You considered how suitable it was for your service, the size range, the amount of space you had available, and of course the all-important budget.

Perhaps now it is time to devote the same amount of consideration to disposing of the equipment. You want to ensure that the option you choose is safe, effective, and convenient for you — and especially that it is provided by experienced professionals you can trust.

Disposing of your catering equipment correctly has a number of benefits to consider.

Firstly, not disposing of catering equipment can be problematic. If the item is faulty, this can be dangerous. Faulty catering equipment can be hazardous, especially if it is still being used. Even if it is taken out of use, it could still be used by mistake and cause injury to your staff or customers.

Not disposing of catering equipment also takes up valuable space in a busy kitchen or working environment. For most businesses — and especially in the food industry — space comes at a serious premium. Paying for premises is a serious financial consideration not to be taken lightly.

If you do not dispose of catering equipment that you no longer need or would like to upgrade, you are taking up space that could hinder the smooth running of your kitchen, or even be wasting money renting space that you do not need.

Dispose of catering equipment that is worn out, no longer suitable, or that requires an upgrade, and you may even find you need far less space than you thought!

The benefits of disposing of your catering equipment include enhanced safety, more space, smoother running of service, and better efficiency and cost-effectiveness overall.

 

How to Find the Best Disposal Options for You

 

There are many options open to you when you first decide that it is time to dispose of your equipment. First, you should perhaps consider the reason you have decided to dispose of the equipment.

Is it faulty or useless? Is it still in good condition but in need of refurbishment? Is it as good as new but you simply want to upgrade or have found a more suitable option?

A different answer to these questions will lead to a different disposal option. You could decide to sell your used catering equipment to a reputable company like ours, who can refurbish it effectively.

You may decide to sell directly to a friend or colleague, or else complete a trade. Alternatively, you may find that the equipment itself has run its course and that the only option is total disposal. That’s where professionals come in.

Although it may be possible to remove equipment yourself, this can be risky. The equipment must be properly disconnected, detached, and made available for lifting and collection. Why not involve professionals like ours to make the process run quickly and smoothly?

Many businesses choose to involve professional disposal experts so that they can be free to focus on the more crucial aspects of their business — preparation, catering, and serving loyal customers.

If you are trying to select a disposal option that is right for you, you can discover more on the Catering Equipment Disposal website.

Finding Good Quality Equipment

 

To minimise the need to dispose of equipment, it is important to source good quality catering equipment in the first instance.

Here at Caterquip, we have a range of high quality refurbished second-hand catering equipment that has been restored to the highest professional grade standards. First hand catering equipment is often prohibitively expensive for the large majority of businesses in the food industry.

We have a range of testimonials from chefs, small businesses, and large scale catering operations that can vouch for the quality of our products. The better the equipment you source initially, the longer it will be before you need to look into disposal.

 

Maintaining Your Equipment

 

After purchasing catering equipment, whether new or quality upgraded second-hand items, good maintenance is key to getting the best performance.

Regular cleaning and servicing are essential processes that will help get the very best out of your equipment. This ensures safety, effectiveness, and reliable performance time and again.

Maintaining your equipment and using it in the way it is advised will all help delay the need to seek disposal options in the future.
