With the amount of equipment and supplies it takes to run a restaurant, it comes as no surprise that restaurants need self storage too.

Our good friends and customers at Cawsburger have rented a unit with us for over a year and they quickly realised what a great help it was to them. Derailed a little by COVID, Matt and Charlie, owners of Cawsburger, decided to make their restaurant a mobile one, taking their burgers on the road and serving them across Hertfordshire. Renting a unit at our Letchworth store helped them to do this as it gave them a convenient, immaculately clean place to store their equipment and burger boxes.

Using self storage for your restaurant comes with a different set of needs. Here are our top tips for using self storage for your restaurant.

Create a list of everything you want to store

Before anything else, you need to make a list of everything you need to store within your unit. This will allow you to know how much space you need and what size unit to go for.

Always make sure to include some space for you to walk around and be comfortable within the unit.

Convenient location

This location of our Letchworth store was a big plus for the Cawsburger team. Running a restaurant, big or small, comes with a lot of work which happens at a hectic pace.

You need your self storage unit to be in a convenient location so you can easily pick up your equipment and supplies. 

Check the unit is clean 

Another big plus for Cawsburger was how clean our units were when they first came to Cinch Self Storage Letchworth. When storing supplies and equipment for dealing with food, it is extremely important to make sure that the unit is clean and dry. 

Be organised!

Once you are in your unit, make sure to be organised! Arrange the equipment/supplies with the things you need more regularly at the front. And label everything!
