Mission Critical Commercial Kitchen Equipment Your New Restaurant Needs

Deciding to open up a new restaurant, eatery or cafe could be the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. But if you want to make sure that you get your new food-based business off to a good start, you need to make sure you have the right equipment to get the job done right. You're likely used to using standard kitchen equipment like a fridge at home, but a commercial operation like a restaurant may require you to put much more effort into researching the right equipment for the job. Here are some of the most important considerations to keep in mind when choosing commercial kitchen equipment.

Start with Your Refrigeration Options

Your fridges or freezers are about as important as it gets in a commercial kitchen. These devices will help you keep the food at the perfect temperature in order to ensure a perfect meal and you also have other considerations like how much energy the equipment is using.

Typically, commercial fridges are split into three main categories: reach-in fridges, walk-in fridges, and restaurant freezers. If you have a limited budget, you may need to go for a reach-in fridge to start. Regardless, it's a good idea to plan out how many ingredients will need to be cooled or frozen at any given time and make sure you have the equipment to match. You may need more than one reach-in fridge if you want to cool items at multiple different temperatures. Some walk-in fridges can cool different sections of the fridge at different levels. Be sure to plan for how much room you need not just on an average day but on your busiest Friday or Saturday night.

Tools to Maximize Efficiency and Consistency

If you are buying your meat, cheese, or other items in bulk, it can be helpful to have some tools to help you portion out these ingredients quickly. There are a number of commercial slicers that can help you slice up meats and other ingredients much faster than doing it by hand. You'll also be able to ensure that you can cut or slice meats into specific portion sizes with consistency. Other tools that can help you achieve efficiency and consistency would include your mixing devices and a commercial-grade oven or stove that will allow you to fine-tune the heat while cooking different dishes at the same time.

Keep a Fire From Becoming a Disaster

It happens in every kitchen eventually. With so many open flames or other sources of heat being used to get the job done, eventually, someone is going to make a mistake and there will be a fireball that needs to be put out before it does any damage to your equipment. A fire suppression system that turns on automatically can help you cut a growing fire back down to a manageable size so it can be extinguished.
