An oft-neglected aspect of owning a restaurant is keeping the
kitchen equipment
in optimal condition. Most restaurant owners take special care of the larger and more expensive pieces of equipment in the kitchen, subjecting them to periodic cleaning and maintenance. However, not all restaurateurs devote the same care and attention to their knives.
Good knives are among the most valuable assets in any kitchen, and this applies particularly to restaurants. Consider this: the quality of your food is one of the most important factors that could potentially affect your customers’ enjoyment of your restaurant. When you also consider how broad and crucial a role your knives serve in the preparation of food, you will surely appreciate just how important it is to keep your knives in tiptop shape.
