A dumbwaiter is a terrific tool that comes in the form of a small freight elevator used to carry objects rather than people from one floor to another. Last week we discussed the usefulness of dumbwaiters at home, but they have many benefits for commercial settings as well! A dumbwaiter is easy to install and can be of great service to any restaurant with more than one floor, and here are a few reasons why.
Efficiency
If your restaurant has multiple floors, a dumbwaiter is practically a requirement in order to make sure your restaurant is operating as efficiently as possible. Without a dumbwaiter, waiters and kitchen runners will be required to continuously travel up and down flights of stairs to communicate with the kitchen and transport orders to customers. After a short while, this can become quite a tiring task. A dumbwaiter will allow this process to operate much more smoothly and easily, allowing waiters to conserve their energy.
Reduces Accidents
While efficiency is increasing in your restaurant thanks to the presence of a dumbwaiter, you will also notice that accidents in your restaurant will be lowered as well. It is easy for someone to trip and fall while carrying someone’s meal up the stairs. That meal that was just dropped took quite a bit of time and care to prepare, so it will be troublesome to do the whole process over again and explain to the hungry customer why they will have to wait longer to eat. This is why you should reduce the risk of accidents in your restaurant with the simple addition of a dumbwaiter.
Creates More Space
A dumbwaiter takes up very little space, while also managing to free up even more space in your restaurant. Additionally, having a dumbwaiter in your restaurant helps free up space if you find your restaurant suffers from heavy people traffic and congestion. This will help give your customers and waiters more room to breathe since you will not need as many staff members for the sole purpose of delivering food to multiple floors. A dumbwaiter can take care of this for you instead.
