When we talk about restaurant facilities, we often think of dining tables, chairs or kitchen utensils, but few people pay attention to those inconspicuous but extremely important details, such as freezer handles. In the catering industry, the design of freezer handle is not only related to the work efficiency and experience of employees, but also one of the key factors affecting food hygiene and safety.
Importance of freezer handle
1. Improve work efficiency
In a fast-paced dining environment, every action of opening and closing the freezer must be quick and smooth. A well-designed and easy-to-grasp freezer handle can greatly reduce the operating time of workers, and then improve the overall work efficiency.
2. Ensure food safety
The restaurant freezer is an important place to store ingredients, and the handle is one of the most frequently contacted parts. If the handle is not clean or difficult to clean, it will easily become a hotbed of bacteria, thus threatening the safety of food. Therefore, it is very important to choose the handle made of materials that are easy to clean and can effectively prevent microbial growth.
3. Improve the user experience
For customers, although they won't directly touch the handle of the freezer, if the service speed drops due to the inconvenience of employees, it will indirectly affect the dining experience of customers. In addition, in some self-service restaurants, customers may need to open the freezer to eat by themselves, so a comfortable and easy-to-use handle is particularly important.
Key points of design
1. Selection of materials
Stainless steel: durable, smooth surface, easy to clean and disinfect.
Plastic (ABS): It is light and low cost, and its hygiene and safety can be improved by adding antibacterial agents.
Silica gel/rubber: soft and good touch, good anti-slip performance, suitable for occasions that need frequent switching.
2. Shape and size
Considering the different hand shapes of different users, the handle should adopt ergonomic design principles:
The shape can be considered oval or with a certain degree of curvature to adapt to the outline of most people's hands;
The size should not be too wide or too narrow, ensuring that it is convenient for one-handed operation and can accommodate the situation that both hands exert force together.
3. Installation location and method
Determine the best installation height and direction of the handle according to the specific application scenario, and ensure that it is firmly and reliably fixed on the freezer door to avoid problems such as loosening and falling off due to long-term use.
In short, there are many considerations behind a seemingly insignificant part of the restaurant freezer handle. Only by thoroughly thinking about these details can we truly achieve the goal of starting from "small things", ensure work efficiency and bring consumers a more comfortable and comfortable dining environment.
