When selecting the best cart for your institutional kitchen, you will want to take into consideration the following things:
- What type of foodservice transport cart do I need?
- What accessories do I need with my cart, like a flatware collector or tool caddy?
- Will I be using my cart outside and if so, are there any features that are important for me to have on my foodservice cart?
Bussing carts, also known as bus carts, are designed to transport dirty dishes, glassware, and other foodservice items from dining areas to the kitchen for cleaning. These carts typically have multiple shelves or compartments and are often equipped with handles for easy maneuverability.
Utility carts, on the other hand, are more versatile and can be used for a variety of tasks, including transporting food, equipment, and supplies throughout the kitchen or facility. They may have adjustable shelves, drawers, or even built-in cutting boards.
Queen Mary carts are larger and heavier-duty than bussing and utility carts, designed for heavy-duty transport of bulk food items, such as large quantities of sheet pans or hotel pans. They are often used in institutional or large-scale foodservice settings.
Service carts are used for front-of-house service, such as displaying desserts or coffee service. They often have a more decorative appearance than other carts and may include features like glass display cases.
Merchandising carts are similar to service carts, but are typically used for outdoor events or in non-traditional foodservice settings. They are often more compact and designed for easy transport and setup.
Finally, beverage carts are specifically designed for transporting and serving beverages, such as coffee or tea, throughout a facility. They may have built-in dispensers or thermal carafes to keep beverages at the desired temperature.
When selecting a cart for your foodservice operation, consider the specific needs of your business and choose a cart that is designed to meet those needs. This will help you to improve efficiency, enhance customer satisfaction, and ensure the safety of your products.
