Scales – What’s the Difference? A properly calibrated and well-functioning scale can help your establishment reduce operating costs as well as waste, but knowing what type of scale you need is just as important. These quick tips will help you decide which one is right for you.
Receiving Scales versus Portion Scales Receiving scales are designed to weigh your inventory in bulk when it arrives, ensuring your establishment is receiving the right amount of product at the correct price. Portion scales help you manage your inventory more efficiently by ensuring that portion sizes are consistent when serving your customers. Digital or Mechanical? While digital and mechanical scales provide a high degree of accuracy, both still have their own distinct advantages. Digital scales are easy to read and can have a tare feature that allows you to reset the scale to zero as ingredients or vessels are added.
Mechanical Scales • Stainless steel spring and corrosion-resistant weighing mechanism for durability, long-term accuracy and strength • Internal stop mechanism extends scale life • Angled dial with bold graphics improves reading accuracy and ease
Mechanical scales are lightweight and portable while having the additional advantage of not requiring a power source.
