Purchasing for Kitchenware Stores
Kitchen accessories need clear material, contents and use information. A product that resembles an existing utensil may still have a different construction or supplier care instruction.
Preparing the Range
Compare complete sets and identify the kitchen task each one serves. Keep performance and food-contact statements tied to the information supplied for the exact product.
Display Considerations
Use package contents and dimensions on shelf tickets. Keep sample utensils separate from saleable units if customers handle them.
Order Information
List capacities, head shapes or sizes rather than requesting an unspecified utensil assortment. Obtain the relevant supplier documentation before the order is approved.
Reviewing the Range
Note questions about cleaning, dimensions and included pieces. Do not turn staff assumptions into claims about temperature or appliance suitability.
Product Guides to Consult
- Silicone Spatulas
A spatula assortment may include different head sizes, handle lengths and constructions.
- Measuring Spoon Sets
Set contents matter more than the number of loose pieces in a carton.
- Measuring Cup Sets
Nested measuring cups can occupy little shipping space but a relatively large area on a display hook.
- Tea Infusers
Tea infusers may be sold as mesh balls, baskets or novelty shapes.
