When it comes to operating a bakery, shopping for supplies may not be the most exciting task. Knowing where to get what you need can help minimize the time you spend shopping and give you more time for running your kitchen.
Where to Shop for Bakery Supplies
Depending on the size of your bakery, there are multiple avenues to pursue when shopping for supplies. For a large or busy bakery, shopping wholesale may be advantageous. Online merchants such as Central Restaurant Products are sources of everything from display cases and furniture to baking pans and other kitchen needs. Buying your supplies all in one place can mean getting a better package price and also carries the advantage of only having to place a single order for everything you need. If you prefer to shop locally, check your phone book under the headings for "Restaurant Supply" and "Wholesale." Additionally, consider specialty kitchen supply stores in your area. You may prefer the personal shopping experience at a place like Kitchenworks, where knowledgeable staff can assist you. Kitchenworks has an online store, but does not include wholesale pricing. A place such as Kitchenworks may be more suitable for small bakeries or for finding a specialty item not carried by your favorite wholesaler.
