" Could an extraction canopy be fitted and adequate ventilation ensured?
" Does this area link easily to the school dining room?
" Is there adequate mechanical and electrical services capacity for the new kitchen?
A kitchen audit is a specialist job.
Your local authority, caterers, or catering equipment supplier should be able to put you in contact with someone who can help. Five areas to consider as part of an equipment and kitchen audit:
1. Kitchen refurbishments and extensions or developments- changes to cooking, serving, storage space
2. Large kitchen equipment - to cover storage (fridges) and improved cooking efficiency (combi-ovens), dishwashers, prep' machines etc.
3. Additional serving trolleys and serveries - hot and cold cabinets, hot plates etc.
4. Small kitchen items including light equipment, cutlery, plates, bowls etc.
