दिवाली सजावट की तैयारी
दीये, रंगोली, लाइट्स और पूजा की सजावट का सामान पहले से प्लान करें।
Running a restaurant kitchen is a different kind of buying altogether — not a monthly shop, but a constant cycle of daily vegetable runs, weekly bulk staple orders, and monthly checks on things that quietly run out at the worst possible moment, like garbage bags or gas. This list is built specifically for that commercial rhythm: separate from household shopping, organized by how often a restaurant kitchen actually needs to reorder each category, covering everything from bulk rice and dal to fresh produce, dairy, packaging for takeaway orders, and the cleaning supplies that keep a kitchen running and audit-ready. Whether you run a small dhaba, a family restaurant, or a cloud kitchen, this is meant to be the list you check before placing your next vendor order.
Restaurant kitchen का सबसे basic सामान, पर household जैसी छोटी 1kg pack में नहीं — यहाँ हर चीज़ bulk में आती है, 25kg या 50kg के bag में, क्योंकि unit cost बहुत कम पड़ती है और रोज़ का consumption ही इतना ज़्यादा होता है। Check Items →
रोज़ खराब होने वाला सबसे ज़रूरी सामान — यह household की तरह हफ्ते में एक बार नहीं, बल्कि रोज़ या एक दिन छोड़कर local mandi या trusted vendor से सीधे आना चाहिए। Wastage यहीं सबसे ज़्यादा होती है, इसलिए quantity का अंदाज़ा बहुत सोच-समझकर लगाना ज़रूरी है। Check Items →
पनीर की sabzi, रायता, lassi और चाय — डेयरी का सामान रोज़ इस्तेमाल होता है पर जल्दी खराब भी होता है, इसलिए सही quantity में रोज़ या एक दिन छोड़कर मंगाना सही रहता है। Check Items →
Restaurant में मसाला household की तरह 50-100 ग्राम के पैकेट में नहीं, बल्कि 1kg या उससे ज़्यादा के bulk pack में आता है — यह ज़्यादा धीरे consume होता है, इसलिए महीने में एक बार order करना काफी रहता है। Check Items →
यह category पूरी तरह household grocery से अलग है — सिर्फ delivery और takeaway करने वाले restaurant और cloud kitchen के लिए ज़रूरी, dine-in only restaurant को इसकी ज़्यादा ज़रूरत नहीं पड़ती। Check Items →
Dine-in service के लिए रोज़ इस्तेमाल होने वाला, पर अक्सर भूल जाने वाला सामान — tissue, ज़रूरी disposable और service counter का छोटा सामान। Check Items →
Restaurant के लिए household cleaning सामान से कहीं ज़्यादा भारी-duty और सख्त standard वाला — यह सिर्फ साफ़-सफ़ाई के लिए नहीं, बल्कि food safety audit और customer trust के लिए भी ज़रूरी है। Check Items →
Commercial LPG और kitchen को रोज़ चलाने के लिए ज़रूरी छोटा-बड़ा सामान — यह category अक्सर तब याद आती है जब अचानक खत्म हो जाए, बीच service में। Check Items →
Counter पर रखे जाने वाले ready-to-serve पेय — यह household pantry से अलग है क्योंकि यहाँ stock सीधे customer को बेचा जाता है, इसलिए quantity और variety customer demand के हिसाब से planned होनी चाहिए। Check Items →

Did this list help you plan what you need?
Bulk staples like rice, dal, atta, and cooking oil are typically reordered weekly to bi-weekly for a small to mid-size restaurant, depending on covers per day. Most restaurants buy in 25kg or 50kg bags for rice and atta, and 15kg tins for oil, rather than retail-size packs, since the unit cost drops significantly at bulk volumes. Spices and masala in 1kg+ packs usually last 2-4 weeks. The key is to track usage against covers served, not just calendar days, since a slow week needs a smaller order.
Fresh produce like onions, tomatoes, and leafy vegetables should be bought daily or every alternate day directly from the local mandi or a trusted vegetable vendor, since they spoil fast and prices swing daily. Most restaurants keep a standing daily order with one main vendor for consistency, while sourcing 1-2 extra fast-moving items from the mandi when the menu has a special. Track wastage closely for the first few weeks of any new menu item, since over-ordering perishables is the single biggest source of food cost leakage in Indian restaurant kitchens.
A restaurant doing takeaway or delivery needs leak-proof, oil-resistant paper or bagasse meal boxes in 2-3 sizes (for dry items, gravy items, and combo meals), sealing tape or rubber bands, paper bags for the outer pack, disposable spoons and forks, napkins, and small sauce/chutney containers. Most modern Indian restaurants have shifted from plain aluminium foil containers to paper-based, microwave-safe boxes, since they handle Indian gravies without leaking and are more sustainable. Keep a separate, smaller stock of branded or premium packaging if you do high-value delivery orders.
Organize stock by storage area and counting frequency: count high-use perishables (vegetables, dairy, bread) daily, do a full inventory count weekly across all categories, and check slow-moving non-perishables (cleaning supplies, packaging, bulk spices) monthly. Match each category to its actual storage area — cold storage, dry storage, bar stock — so counting follows a physical walk-through rather than a random list. Note the vendor name against each item so reordering does not depend on one person's memory.
