Creating a seamless cooking line in your kitchen with Waldorf Bold

In a professional kitchen environment, efficiency is key. A well-designed kitchen means your staff have a smoother flow of service, and your customers receive their food in a timely manner, not to mention optimum condition.

When a service becomes disjointed, it’s often worth taking a deeper look at the way your kitchen is set up. Are your chefs having to wait for someone to move out the way before they can get to their equipment? Is there a logical layout they can rely on?

As a restaurant, cafe or catering company’s menu evolves, it is crucial that the layout of the kitchen is sympathetic to the processes required to create certain elements.

Here’s how you can achieve seamless cooking line with a little help from Waldorf Bold.

Ergonomics of the cooking line 

While the atmosphere of a commercial kitchen is fairly far removed from that of an industrial factory, the concept of the assembly line is incredibly relevant in the often high-pressure environment of the restaurant industry.

A cooking line creates a continuous workspace so that transferring pots and pans between units becomes a much easier task. As safety is paramount in a kitchen, the ergonomics of a seamless line mean there is less hauling heavy cookware across the floor, thus reducing the risk of injury.

According to Open Universities Australia, a professional chef will work a staggering 44.3 hours on average each week, depending on the type and scale of the operation. In addition, due to the dynamic, sometimes unpredictable nature of the hospitality industry, chefs also have to go above and beyond to keep the kitchen running smoothly, with 12 hour days not unheard of.

This only works to highlight the importance of creating an ergonomic, safe environment for your employees. A fully optimised kitchen layout means minimising necessary movement for your staff, and this is where the range from Waldorf Bold comes in.

Flexibility to create the kitchen you want 

With modular benches as well as mix-and-match tops and bottoms, there is no limit to how you design your kitchen. If you have been working with a central island design, or you have set your kitchen up in zones, with Waldorf Bold you can easily create that slick, efficient cooking line that is beneficial for both chefs and customers alike.

By linking benchtops together with equipment such as heavy-duty cooktops, salamanders and griddles, you can also free up more valuable floor space.

In addition, the Waldorf Bold range is not only functional, but it features a stylish vitreous enamel surface – available in a selection of colours, it is both durable and attractive, making it the perfect solution for open kitchens.
