Summer months

June, July and August are the months when the UK enjoys some of its warmest months and schools break, so the majority of families will take holidays.

The Pressure

Now, add to that scenario the fact that, in the majority of cases, disposable income is lower than in previous years, we, in the catering industry, have to accept that spending on days out and going to restaurants may well be under pressure.

The Good news

Because money in people’s pockets is under more pressure, that could result in fewer holidays being taken abroad, which, in turn, means the money usually being spent in foreign parts will be spent here in the UK.

This is good news for catering businesses so we must make sure that we make the most of this opportunity.

Are there any issues that need addressing in the kitchen?

The kitchen staff will have a problem if the temperature and humidity in the kitchen is controlled only by the weather. This usually results in frayed tempers and mistakes being made. Given that we all need to maximise every opportunity this situation could be a recipe for disaster.

An Air Handling Unit is the Solution

An Air Handling Unit (AHU) takes fresh ambient air from outside, cleans it and then heats or cools it depending on the time of year. It may also be able to dehumidify the air depending on the system. It then blows it through ductwork and vents around the kitchen.

A parallel series of ducting takes the hot humid air from the kitchen and expels it outside.

The net result is that a consistent air temperature is maintained in the kitchen and the kitchen staff are more comfortable and more stable.
