When it comes to running a restaurant, not only do you want your food to be top-notch, you also need the service to be up to par as well. Part of delivering excellent service to your patrons is being able to deliver their food orders correctly and quickly. If you want your restaurant’s food and service to stand out above the rest, then the following tips should help you achieve just that.
Smart Coffee
Smart coffee makers are some of the most convenient and innovative tech products to date. Of course, since these machines allow you to start them from your phones, you can make sure that you have a hot cup of coffee waiting for you when you get out of bed. However, by using this technology in your restaurant, your wait staff can start the coffee pot without even having to go to the back. This can save your waitstaff critical time, allowing them to take more orders and resulting in increased profitability for your restaurant.
Sous Vide
There are many benefits to the sous vide method, but it requires food to be vacuum sealed and then cooked at a specific temperature. The results, however, are food that is of the highest quality and cooked to the precise level of doneness. There is no guesswork involved, and the results are virtually foolproof every time. The technique also speaks to an open approach to culinary innovation and interesting techniques.
Cutting Onions
Onions are one of the most widely used ingredients in cooking, yet you may not know that the way they are cut can determine their flavor. While you may think of either chopping or slicing when it comes to onions, you can cut them in a way that adds a fancier look to the dish while changing the way flavors are presented. For instance, if you want the onion to produce a flavor that is a bit sharper with a little kick to it, cutting the onion against its grain will achieve this. However, if you prefer a sweeter flavor and tender onions, then cut along the grain. Great knife skills are an important part of exceptional professional cooking.
Just incorporating the above tips can help to transform your mealtime into a five-star event, whether you are a five-star restaurant or not. Even if you are not ready to invest in a smart coffee maker or try the sous vide method, simply changing the way you plate a dish can make a world of a difference in how it is enjoyed.
