The boiling water, the sizzle of the onion in the sauce, the browning of bread, the softness of meat: the kitchen is the cook’s studio and there we find their tools. The dishes are their artworks, the aromas and scents are their palette. Despite this romanticism, strong and mighty appliances don’t all stand the test of time and inevitably deteriorate. All good things do come to an end.

A great venue with a worn kitchen is much like a grand cruise ship with a poor engine room. Theylook great on the surface, to owners and customers alike. But when it really matters, both are going to struggle to help your customers journey to the intended destinations of Rome, Paris or New York.

An outdated kitchen can lead to impacts on quality, production time, brand image and customer experience. With many of our readers faced with this challenge, On-Trade Progress teamed up with Blueberry Professional to discuss some of the best ways to ditch the old, bring in the new and truly revolutionise your kitchen!
