Chipper Supplies Checklist: What an Irish Chip Shop Needs
The DiscountTillRolls.ie TeamAn Irish chipper needs five groups of supplies: chip bags and boxes, wraps and foil bags, sauce pots and sachets, till and card machine rolls, and hygiene and cleaning basics. Get the packaging sizes right for your portions, keep two sizes of chip bag by the fryer, and never let the card machine roll run out on a Friday night.
Whether you're opening a new chipper or tidying up the order list for an old one, this is the checklist we'd work from.
