After 50 years in the catering equipment game, we've seen how proper board storage transforms kitchen workflow, pairing brilliantly with knife racks and prep tables for an organised workspace. Whether you're kitting out a restaurant, hotel kitchen, or café, these HACCP-compliant racks are your first defence against the hygiene inspector's raised eyebrow!

Commercial board racks operate on a brilliantly simple principle—sturdy slots or dividers that hold cutting boards vertically or at a slight angle, allowing air circulation between them. Most wall-mounted versions feature stainless steel brackets with carefully spaced dividers, ensuring each board dries properly after washing. Some freestanding models provide similar separation with the added flexibility of placement. The beauty lies in their design—boards remain upright, preventing moisture build-up that leads to bacteria growth, while simultaneously creating an organised system where chefs can quickly identify the right board for each food type, maintaining strict HACCP compliance in busy professional kitchens.

Make the most of your board rack by installing it near your washing station but away from direct cooking heat sources. Implement a colour-coded system with different boards for separate food types—red for raw meat, blue for fish, green for vegetables—and arrange them in the same order in your rack each time. Clean the rack weekly with sanitising solution to prevent biofilm build-up. Consider adding board brushes nearby for immediate cleaning, and label slots if multiple chefs use the kitchen to maintain your system.
Having fitted countless commercial kitchens over five decades, we've seen how proper board storage impacts daily operations. 'The right board rack isn't just about tidiness—it's essential for food safety,' notes Chef Martin, our kitchen planning specialist. 'Kitchens that invest in quality board storage systems typically see fewer cross-contamination issues and pass hygiene inspections with flying colours.'
A bustling gastropub in Bristol was facing constant challenges with cross-contamination risks and cluttered prep areas. Their kitchen team was stacking wet boards flat after washing, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. After installing our wall-mounted board racks alongside their prep tables and knife racks, they completely transformed their workflow. 'It seems like such a simple change, but it's been revolutionary for us,' the head chef explained. 'Health inspectors are impressed, staff find everything faster, and we've extended the life of our expensive chopping boards!'
