Top Tips for Using Commercial Catering Equipment for Event Hire & Catering Companies
Create detailed checklists for each equipment category to avoid forgetting crucial components during event setup. Test all electrical equipment before leaving your base—venues rarely have suitable replacements. Use colour-coded transport crates to organize different departments (cooking, serving, bar) for quicker setup. Always carry basic spare parts and tools for on-site fixes, especially gas regulators and electrical fuses. Consider investing in catering equipment transport covers to protect your investment from transport damage and extend its lifespan.
