With the cost of raw materials, energy, staff wages, insurance, and general day-to-day operations climbing higher than ever, it’s no secret that running a fish and chip shop in today’s climate is a serious challenge. Every penny counts. Every decision matters. So here’s a question every operator should ask themselves right now:
Can we really afford not to be trained as well as we possibly can be?
The answer is simple: we can’t.
Why Training Matters More Than Ever
Whether you’re brand new to the trade or a seasoned fryer with years under your belt, ongoing training is no longer optional—it’s essential. Because in today’s market, knowledge is profit.
Training helps you:
- Improve product consistency
- Reduce waste
- Control portion sizes
- Maximise oil life
- Streamline prep and service
- Maintain food safety standards
- Keep energy costs down
- Deliver a better customer experience
All of this contributes to one powerful result: a healthier bottom line—without needing to raise your prices.
It’s Never Too Late to Learn
The fish and chip industry has a proud heritage, built on skill, quality, and passion. But even the best in the business know that things change. Equipment evolves, customer tastes shift, and new techniques emerge. Training allows you to stay competitive, adapt quickly, and future-proof your shop.
So whether you’ve just taken over your first chippy, or you’ve been wrapping up haddock for decades, there’s always room to improve. And there’s no shame in asking for help—quite the opposite, it shows you care about getting it right.
