Use meat cut machines instead of buying pre-cut meats

The price of beef often fluctuates, especially for specialty cuts. Cut out the middleman and use meat cut machines. These industrial strength food cutters are designed for butcher shops and grocery stores. But, there is no reason why a restaurant with a specialty in beef couldn't use one to save money.

I recommend: Prima Supply sells meat cutting equipment, including meat saws, cutters and slicers. Compact Appliance offers used meat cutting machines at discount prices.

Trim labor costs with food cutting and slicing equipment

Why pay employees to stand around and chop vegetables for hours on end, when there are machines that can do the same thing in a fraction of the time? An industrial food cutter can chop vegetables in a blink of an eye, with just one employee overseeing operations. The same is true of a restaurant shredder, which shreds cheese in just a few minutes and save owners the expense of buying pre-shredded variety.

I recommend: Northern Tool & Equipment sells both manual and electric food slicers, ideal for breads, meats, fruits and vegetables. Berkel and Bettcher Industries, Inc. both have industrial food cutters that are easy to clean and have features such as adjustable thickness and whisper-quiet motors.  

Control portions with food cutting machinery

Portion control is vital to any food business. Control the thickness of sliced meats with cutting meat equipment or other food cutting machines. They're easy to operate and clean and ensure that portions are all the same.

I recommend: Fante's Kitchen Wares Shop carries every kind of cooking tool imaginable. Food cutting equipment they carry include cheese graters, pastry cutters and wheel dough dividers. The Restaurant Source and Jeans Restaurant Supply also carry a large line of food cutting machinery.
