When it comes to storing the product you’ll use in your menu preparation, the best advice is to play it cool — and more importantly, keep it cool. Proper refrigeration is an essential component of any foodservice business, whether you're operating a food truck, a dining hall or a 5-star restaurant. In any of these venues, the right refrigeration system preserves your product at the appropriate temperatures to prevent waste, protect taste and ensure quality. And all of that’s pretty cool.
Because your refrigeration system is so important, we're going to make refrigeration the focal point of our next series of blogs. Each one will cover a different area of this important topic, all so you can get the most out of your refrigeration system.
