A wooden tray can be used for more than just carrying your food from the kitchen to the table. Wooden trays are perfect for everything from organizing your jewelry to storing your refrigerator items. Here are some ways restaurants can use a wooden tray to make your life easier and more efficient.

Organize Your Work Space

If you're like most people, you end up with a lot of things on your desk, kitchen station, or front of house podium. You might have pens, paper, and more. Why not store it all in one place? A wooden tray can help you organize your work space so that everything is within reach.

Place the tray at the edge of your desk or table and store items like pens, paperclips, and sticky notes in different sections. This way, they are easy to find when you need them. It will also give an unorganized desk a sense of order.

Store Kitchen Items

A wooden tray can be used to store your kitchen utensils. This is perfect for restaurants with limited space since you can tuck this away in a cabinet or drawer. You can even designate a place on the tray for each category of kitchen utensils, like one side for spoons and spatulas and the other side for knives.

Transport Food from the Kitchen to the Table

The most obvious use for a wooden tray is to transport food from the kitchen to the table. However, there are other ways you can use a wooden tray in your restaurant. For example, you can fit vegetables or other items on one side of the tray and place it on your countertop. That way, when you're plating food, you don't have to worry about running back and forth between the kitchen and the dining area.

Serving Dishes

A wooden tray can be used as a serving dish. Place the dish you're serving on the tray and then carry it to the table. Once you're at the table, remove the dish from the tray and set it on the table. This way, your guests can enjoy your restaurant’s popular meals from a beautiful wooden tray.

Plating for Food Packaging

If you need to transport a large amount of food but you are not sure that your catering boxes can handle it, use a wooden tray as an insert to give it some additional strength. Wood trays often fit inside larger catering boxes, making them perfect for plating the food and reinforcing the bottom of the box. The biggest benefit, besides knowing that your food is safe inside the box, is that everything can be prearranged so that it comes out of the box ready to serve.

Wood trays are very versatile and you should consider having several styles available in your kitchen and restaurant. Wood trays have another feature that makes them highly desirable: they are better for the environment than ones made from traditional materials.
