HOW CAN BARS AND RESTAURANTS BENEFIT FROM CONTAINER STORAGE?

Serving food and drinks to large crowds requires a lot of organisation! Bars, restaurants and caterers can't afford to run out of staple items or compromise the quality of their supplies. To do this effectively, it's often mandatory to have access to ample cold storage on-site. Refrigerated containers are a great solution to this problem; their flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and mobility allow businesses to be agile and allows businesses to quickly adapt to changing conditions.

Here is some food for thought for all restaurant owners who are seeking a more sustainable storage solution to help them grow their business:

Why bars and restaurants need cold storage?

Restaurants, Caterers and Food Manufacturers all need to keep various raw ingredients at precise temperatures to extend their shelf life. Since the demand in these establishments can be challenging to predict, it’s prudent to keep a stock of supplies at hand. It’s also often cheaper to buy supplies in bulk and keep them on-site, and temperature-controlled storage facilities can be a precondition for this approach.

In some cases, businesses might need additional cold storage temporarily, so it doesn’t make sense to construct traditional warehouses just for this purpose. Since container-based storage can meet a significant number of requirements for companies in this sector, this solution is increasingly being used as both short-term and long-term facilities.

How can refrigerated containers benefit my business?

Refrigerated containers can act as primary or secondary storage for bars, pubs, and restaurants of any size, especially those with locations that don’t allow for an expansion of brick-and-mortar storage. They can safely store the various goods that these establishments use daily, from dairy and meat to fresh fruit. In addition, containers can either sit alongside a building or stand independently.

Should I buy or rent refrigerated containers?

The answer to this question depends on many different factors, including your business profile and your budget. However, many businesses find it advantageous to lease containers on flexible terms, as this allows them to manage peaks and declines in demand owing to seasonal and economic factors.
