Kitchen Contingency Plans are a Must

CHELMSFORD, England, May 18, 2010 - PKL's free Contingency Planning Guide provides an overview of the
importance of kitchen contingency planning and helps users to produce their
own personalised plan.

Contingency planning is vital for any catering operation. A contingency
plan helps to minimise the adverse effects of sudden closure or disruption,
so that in the event of an emergency, appropriate plans can be implemented
quickly and efficiently to restore service as soon as possible. In some
sectors, a kitchen contingency plan is a requirement, to ensure that
foodservice operation is not interrupted, while a contingency plan may also
be put in place to help manage seasonal peaks in food production with maximum
efficiency.

PKL's Contingency Planning Guide builds on the company's 20+ years
experience of delivering emergency kitchens and catering equipment at short
notice. It provides a contingency planning checklist, outlining key
considerations and highlights factors that are often unanticipated. For
example, if you need an emergency kitchen, will it be necessary to close
roads or lift it over other buildings? Or do you know what items of equipment
you would need to maintain service to customers?

PKL's emergency response service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year to supply temporary catering facilities to clients that have suffered
unforeseen emergencies such as fire, floods or equipment breakdown. Solutions
range from single items of catering equipment to complete kitchens and
restaurant facilities, which are usually up and running within a few hours of
receiving the first emergency call (depending on the size of facility
required).

In addition to the free Contingency Planning Guide, PKL can also provide
bespoke contingency plans, tailored to each client's exact requirements and
business priorities.
