Workstation

According to Tom O’Brien while equipment may be the backbone of any commercial kitchen, if

it’s not ergonomically and thoughtfully placed, it won’t perform to its full potential. The same

might be said of staff. Wasted movements and wasted steps cost operators time and money. But

effectively designated workstation optimize equipment and labor to create a best-of-both-worlds

situation that keeps kitchen workflow moving smoothly.

An effective food service workstation begins with a clear definition of its purpose. This is the

first critical contact point where the synergy between equipment and labor comes into play.

Another consideration in workstation placement is the width of the aisles. It can be a challenge to
find that sweet spot with just enough room for the kitchen crew to pass each other comfortably or
work in parallel. It's critical to note the steps between the processes, Sedej adds. Aisles that are
too wide can lead to increased steps and can also eat up valuable kitchen space. While an added
step or two might seem unimportant, in a busy, high volume QSR or casual environment, one or
two extra steps multiplied many times over the course of a day can result in a major slowdown in
the production process.
Martinez agrees. "For a typical fast-growing QSR, fast casual or even a casual dining

operation, all-in-one suites really aren't the best," he says. "The challenge with bigger suites is

that they can become inflexible when it comes to production because you can't move them."
