How to create a sustainable kitchen in your restaurant?

How to create a sustainable kitchen in your restaurant?

The catering industry is increasingly focusing on sustainability, as environmental protection and economical operation are important. Here are some practical steps you can take to make your kitchen operations more efficient and environmentally friendly.

1. Choose energy-efficient kitchen appliances

Modern kitchen appliances are now available with energy-saving features that can significantly reduce energy consumption. Refrigerators, ovens and dishwashers with an A++ or A+++ rating use less electricity in the long run, thus not only protecting the environment but also reducing utility costs. GAMMO offers a wide range of energy-saving kitchen appliances, such as professional refrigerators, industrial dishwashers and induction cooker.

2. Use water-saving solutions

Reducing water usage is key in a sustainable kitchen. Water-saving faucets, low-consumption dishwashers and sensor-controlled water controls can help reduce water waste. A huge amount of water is consumed in an industrial kitchen, so every liter saved counts! GAMMO industrial dishwashers ensure maximum hygiene levels while using water efficiently.

3. Reduce waste

Waste reduction can be achieved in three main areas:

  • Reducing food waste: Plan portions accurately, use recycled or biodegradable packaging materials, and use vacuum sealer  to avoid waste, which helps preserve the freshness of food.
  • Selective waste collection: Provide adequate containers for plastic, paper, glass and organic waste.
  • Degradable packaging and cutlery: If you offer your food for takeaway, choose biodegradable, bamboo cutlery and eco-friendly packaging  to reduce plastic waste.
  • Composting: By composting organic waste, you can reuse kitchen scraps and even maintain your own herb garden. And with the Reencle electric composter, you can create perfect dry compost that you can use in your garden or to provide nutrients to your plants.

GAMMO also offers industrial meat mincers and vegetable choppers which help with precise dosing and reducing waste.

4. Use sustainable raw materials

Support local producers and choose seasonal, organic ingredients! Locally sourced food is fresher and healthier.

5. Optimize kitchen energy use

For more efficient energy use:

  • Don't leave ovens and cookers on unnecessarily.
  • Use LED lighting in the kitchen, which consumes less energy and has a longer lifespan.
  • Regular maintenance of your equipment to ensure it operates at optimal efficiency. You can read more about when it's time to replace your kitchen appliances here.

6. Educate your employees

Sustainability is not only about the choice of machines and materials, but also about the attitude of the kitchen staff. Create internal training on how they can reduce waste, use water and energy-efficient equipment, and help with selective waste collection.

7. Communicate sustainability to your guests

A restaurant's commitment to sustainability is not only good for the environment, but it can also be a business advantage. Guests are increasingly choosing restaurants with a sense of sustainability, so if sustainability is part of your business model, it's worth communicating this on your website, menu, and social media.

 

Creating a sustainable kitchen is not only an environmentally friendly decision, but also an economically profitable investment. Even small steps can make a big difference in making your kitchen more sustainable and efficient! Check out GAMMO's range, where you can choose from a wide range of energy-saving and efficient catering equipment!
