THE SALAD BAR– A FRESH NEW OPTION FOR RESTAURANTS TO REACH HEALTH CONSCIOUS MARKET

Posted on January 17 2018

For businesses looking to add a fresh new option to their menus, salad bars can do more than just provide healthy meals. The equipment can promote fresh food preparation while making their serving and display methods more aesthetically pleasing. This can lead to higher sales.

Strongly Growing Market
According to Foodservice Equipment and Supplies Magazine, consumers want healthier and lighter fare now more than ever. Businesses with salad bars saw sales increase at least 17% in recent years, showing the strength of interest. While some businesses may have trouble establishing themselves with a new identity, adding a salad bar can be a big improvement for health-based businesses.

Equipment Considerations
Salad bar equipment itself contains cooling components and automatically-powered cold wells with room for plenty of containers. Those containers and the serving equipment owners will purchase with them will need to be durable. Because offerings in a salad bar are relatively limited, the containers are used constantly. When shopping, owners should look for containers and supplies like ladles and spoons that can hold a large amount of food at once. Foodservice Equipment Reports Magazine adds that new requirements for food health require serving supplies like spoons to be long-handled, another important purchase to consider.

Easy Cleaning
In most cases, it will be necessary to break down and store some of the food held in a salad bar that can remain fresh over time. To make sure this process is as easy as possible, it’s important that the equipment is easy to clean. Many units will feature stainless steel or plastic builds which can make cleaning and avoiding stains much easier. It’s also possible to purchase covers for the cases that can keep the food fresh longer.

There’s no question that new salad bar equipment can help businesses reach customers who want to increase the number of fresh and healthy options in their diets. Capitalizing on the market only requires an informed purchase.
