• Pizza prep tables are essential for keeping up
  with the dinner rush without compromising
  quality. They help your chefs prepare food
  faster, keep toppings fresh, and get perfect
  pizzas on the table in record time. Here are some
  advantages of adding a pizza prep table to your
  commercial kitchen, how to choose one for your
  restaurant, and some maintenance tips to keep it
  running smoothly.

• 3 Ways a Pizza Prep Table Makes Your Kitchen More
  Efficient
• 1. Faster pizza preparation
• A pizza prep table keeps all your pre-sliced
  toppings, grated cheese, and sauces within easy
  reach while preparing a pizza for the oven. Chefs
  can make even the most complicated customized
  orders within minutes, speeding up your overall
  workflow, reducing customer wait times, and
  improving their satisfaction with your service.

• 2. A worktop designed for pizza size
• A pizza prep table is fit to purpose with a deep
  worktop that can accommodate multiple extra-large
  pizza crusts at once. The worktop is typically
  around 19/48cm deep, unlike sandwich prep tables
  with a shallower cutting board more suited to
  slicing bread. Having enough room to work
  comfortably makes a busy shift more enjoyable for
  everyone, which may minimize mistakes and wastage.

• 3. Built-in cold storage
• Pizza prep tables include an under-counter fridge
  to store bulky sauce bottles, pizza dough, and
  extra vegetables, keeping everything nearby
  should you need to refill your topping pans. The
  built-in cold storage keeps your toppings fresh
  all day, minimizes trips to the walk-in
  refrigerator, and frees up space in your main
  fridge for a more efficient kitchen.

• What to Look for in a Pizza Prep Table
• Size consider the daily demand and the average
  number of pizzas youre serving before choosing a
  pizza prep table. Most single-door units come
  with six ingredient pans and two under-counter
  storage shelves, while two-door and three-door
  prep tables take nine and twelve pans,
  respectively.
• Finish pizza prep tables collect dirt over
  time, and you should choose one with a durable
  finish that is easy to wipe clean, such as
  stainless steel. Look for epoxy-coated interior
  shelves that resist moisture damage, odours, and
  stains.

• Refrigeration front-breathing refrigeration
  systems with side-mounted compressors can save
  space in the kitchen, allowing you to place the
  prep table flush against the wall. Look for
  features such as energy star ratings, digital
  temperature control, and environmentally-friendly
  refrigerant to save the earth and your wallet
  while you cook.
• Pizza Prep Table Maintenance Tips
• Keeping your pizza prep table clean prevents
  acidic sauces and food particles from corroding
  the finish, flour dust and grease clogging the
  compressor, and bacteria growing in the gaskets.

• Clean and disinfect the pans and worktop daily.
• Clean the condenser coil thoroughly every three
  months.
• Check the gaskets and seals monthly to ensure
  adequate temperature control.
