The equipment used in your bakery is a huge time saver and great asset to your business, however, when not used properly it can break down or even result in an accident, causing your business to slow or come to a halt.

Here are some tips to follow to help make sure that everything runs smoothly and keeps your business going.

Always Ensure Equipment is Clean

Everyday use can cause flour, sugar, and other ingredients to build up on the machine. Cleaning thoroughly at the end of each day can help provide your equipment with a longer life. Deep cleaning all equipment routinely can also help the equipment last as long as possible.

Get Routine Maintenance

“If it’s not broke, don’t fix it”, right? Not exactly. Having a trained professional come and perform maintenance on your equipment on a regular basis can help catch any problems before they become too big to take care of. Maintenance can also help extend the life of your machines.

Ensure Proper Use

Although you may think you know how to use your machine properly, it’s always best to read the user manual. Sometimes there are small quirks that the manual recommends or recommends avoiding not adhering to those guidelines can cause your equipment to malfunction.

Follow All Safety Measures

As tempting as it may be to bend rules for safety when you’re in a pinch, even just a small mistake can lead to a huge disaster. Bakery equipment is large and heavy and capable of causing broken bones or even worse.
