Start with days of cover and your delivery frequency, then work backwards:
Set your cover target: many kitchens plan 2 to 4 days chilled and 1 to 4 weeks frozen depending on menu and supplier reliability.
Map storage by category: raw proteins, cooked/ready-to-eat, dairy, produce, desserts, allergens. This avoids buying “one big cabinet” and then running out of the right kind of space.
Choose the format that matches your workflow:
Upright cabinets suit bulk storage with frequent access.
