So you've decided to become an Airbnb host. Congratulations, you’re now part of the hospitality world! But wait, how do you stock your kitchen like a super host? A well-stocked kitchen can make all the difference in terms of guest satisfaction and overall experience. We always notice in our reviews of guests appreciating the little things that made them feel special. But what exactly do you need to have on hand to ensure that your guests are going to have a truly exceptional experience? The following tips will turn your kitchen into an oasis of culinary delights and make your guests feel at home while they stay with you.
Organize, Organize, Organize!
The first step to stocking your kitchen is organizing it. Make sure everything has its place and that all the essentials are in easy-to-reach spots. You’ll also want to have plenty of hooks or hangers for hanging pots and pans so they don’t take up too much counter space or create clutter. You want your kitchen to be stocked with the right cleaning supplies as well. The following products will help your kitchen stay nice and tidy!
It may be beneficial to buy some of these items in bulk, as that will reduce your costs and save you trips to the store!
Essential Kitchen Items
Once you have your kitchen organized, it's time to start stocking it! Start by making sure all the basics are there: plates, bowls, glasses, utensils and cookware. If possible, try to provide a variety of sizes for each item so that guests can choose which one works best for them. Also make sure you have enough items on hand—it's no fun having to wash dishes in the middle of cooking a meal! Below we have listed the absolute neccesities in ever Superhost's Kitchen.
