It’s Getting Warm Outside – Here’s Some Essential Equipment for Your Outdoor Catering
Summer is just around the corner, which means outdoor dining is becoming increasingly popular. With that in mind, having the right outdoor catering equipment is crucial. Your gear needs to be versatile, portable, durable, and capable of handling whatever menu you're serving.
No matter if it's a grand event or a casual business lunch, paying close attention to the equipment you use is essential for pulling off any type of function successfully. In the rush to get everything ready, it's easy to overlook important items like ice bins and trash receptacles.
Here’s a quick guide to choosing the right equipment for your outdoor catering needs.
**Food Transportation & Storage**
An outdoor setting means food has to be transported safely from your indoor kitchen to the outdoor dining area. Proper food storage and transport equipment ensures that your prepared dishes stay at safe temperatures and helps reduce waste caused by improper storage or transportation.
When shopping for food transport and storage solutions, consider the following:
- **Lids & Containers**: Essential for keeping food safe and hygienic. Invest in a variety of sizes and lids.
- **Enclosed Tray Carts**: Available in single or double-door styles. These carts help keep food organized and protected.
- **Tray Bussing Racks**: Select racks that fit popular tray sizes for efficient cleanup.
- **Transport Carts**: Five or six levels are usually sufficient to carry everything you need.
- **Condiment Dispensers**: Great for both pre-packaged condiments or bulk condiments dispensed through pumps. Setting up a designated area makes it easier for guests to choose their preferred condiments.
For temporary food placement, make use of the flat surfaces on worktables. Think about how many tables you'll need to support your outdoor dining area and prep zones. Ensure that all your equipment is equipped with casters and brakes for easy movement.
**Flatware/Dinnerware Storage**
Eating outdoors can be a fantastic experience, but improper storage of flatware and dinnerware can spoil the moment for your guests.
You can opt for metal cutlery or plastic utensils depending on the type of catering. Make sure to provide dedicated dispensers for these utensils. Organizing knives, forks, and spoons neatly will greatly enhance your guests' experience.
Dinnerware can be either reusable or disposable. Reusable options include plastic or china varieties. Invest in an IMC heated or unheated tableware dispenser to manage your china effectively. Whether spring-loaded or not, a tableware dispenser is key to safely stacking clean plates for guests to access easily.
Remember, guests often grab a new plate or utensils each time they visit the buffet, so ensure your dispensers can handle more than enough flatware and dinnerware to serve your guests multiple times during peak hours.
**Serving Drinks**
With the heat outdoors, offering refreshing drinks to your guests is a must. An IMC mobile bar station is the perfect solution.
Choose a portable unit that can be customized with various options. Consider a bar made entirely of stainless steel for maximum durability—don't forget to add wheels!
While drinks are important, so is ice. Instead of lugging a bulky ice machine outside, an IMC mobile ice bin is a practical alternative. These bins come in different capacities, so select one that fits your outdoor dining setup best.
**Waste Management**
Just like any dining scenario, managing waste is inevitable. Equip your outdoor dining area with several IMC waste receptacles to keep the area looking tidy. Look for containers with multiple openings for both waste and recyclables. Opt for weather-resistant trash bins that can withstand harsh conditions.
**Hand Washing Facilities**
It’s wise to install an IMC portable hand washing station without plumbing. This encourages good hygiene practices and keeps everyone healthy in your outdoor dining space.
Ensure your portable sink has a hot water heater, a removable fresh water tank, and a removable waste water tank. Electricity is also necessary, so position the sink close to a power source for optimal performance.
In some jurisdictions, portable sinks are legally required based on the number of toilets present. For instance, some areas mandate one station for every four toilets, while others may require more. Check your local laws and regulations for specific guidance.
