Whether you own a small bagel shop or a large dinner venue, renting self-storage units could increase profitability. Keeping non-essentials in storage will free up square footage on the premises so you can host even more customers at every meal. You may be able to put more tables and chairs in the front of the house, for example, or accommodate more kitchen staff in the back. If any of the following items are just taking up space at your restaurant, you could benefit from renting a storage unit. 

3 Items Your Restaurant Should Put in Storage 

1. Extra Furniture 

Restaurant furniture must put up with a lot of wear and tear. As such, it tends to break often. By keeping extra tables, chairs, booths, and stools in storage, replacing those that break will be as easy as stopping by your unit and grabbing another. A self-storage unit will also provide a place to store all the furniture securely when renovating the property. 

2. Sensitive Files 

Restaurant owners have an obligation to protect their employees’ privacy. If you still rely on paper files, that means storing them away from wandering eyes.

A small storage unit is a perfect place to house any and all documents that contain sensitive information. Because the unit won’t be on the premises, only those who should have access will get it. For example, you can give a key to your general manager and no one else. 

3. Seasonal Items

Holiday decor, outdoor furniture, signage, and other seasonal items will need a place to go when they’re not in use—and chances are you don’t want them taking up space in your family’s garage. Thankfully, a local self-storage facility can keep all such items safe until you need them again.
