How do restaurant kitchens use whiteboards, and what type is best?

Commercial kitchen whiteboards serve for: prep lists, daily specials ingredient availability, station assignments, allergy alerts, and service notes. Kitchen environments are challenging for whiteboards — heat, steam, grease, and cleaning chemicals take a toll. Porcelain or glass boards are most appropriate for kitchen use because they resist these conditions better than melamine. Position boards away from direct heat sources and steam. Easy cleaning with kitchen cleaning agents is important — confirm the surface tolerates the kitchen's standard cleaning products. Smaller boards (2x3 or 3x4 feet) work in tight kitchen environments. A waterproof marker or wet-erase surface may be preferable in high-steam environments. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
