There has never been a wiser time for bars and commercial caterers to upgrade. Whatever the reasons, competition has never been fiercer. A few years ago, city centres, suburbs and villages had few catering outlets but many are now awash with drinking and dining options. To survive, having the best food and drink is not enough.

Bars and restaurants must look good, deliver efficiently and take health and safety regulations seriously. Sound electrics support all three of these challenges.

Maintaining appeal

Even the best recipes go stale. With ample choice, diners and drinkers are looking for something new, modern and different. So too are skilled staff. You need to stay abreast of what customers and employees want if you are going keep them.

Often that means Wi Fi, USB charging points, accent lighting for customers and spotlighting for staff. Data connections from the table to the kitchen could allow you to instantly update your menu and help the kitchen run efficiently. But it is not just about having the latest tech, it is also about how it looks. Huge aesthetic improvements are possible by installing dimmer switches, pop-up sockets and flush or concealed power outlets. A clean, uncluttered environment is just as appealing to prospective staff as it is to the walk-in customer.

Robust circuitry

The easiest way to create a problem is to neglect your underlying circuits, breakers, switches and appliances. A sudden fault could shut you down and a chronic one can damage expensive equipment. Nothing irritates staff more than simple things that do not work.

Powerful, quiet air conditioning retains staff and keeps the kitchen inspectors happy too. Your options to install better washers and cooking appliances may depend on a substantial overhaul of the supporting electrics first and improvements to your ground fault interrupters.
