Whether you’re looking to set up a new restaurant or refurbishing your existing kitchen, there’s lots of decisions to be made.
You want to equip your servers, hosts and kitchen staff with the tools they need to get the job done day-in, day-out. So, it’s crucial to balance items you need versus those you want, to avoid going over budget. Planning is the key to minimising stress, which is why considering the necessity of every piece of equipment, appliance and furnishing in your workspace is essential.
When choosing cooking equipment think about what pieces of equipment you’re going to be using most often. Equipment is the cornerstone of any commercial kitchen. Food preparation equipment includes processors, blenders, mixers, juices, slicers, grinders, grills, fryers and warmers. They need to be robust to take high volume use, easily accessible but not clutter valuable surfaces, manoeuvrable so they can be used in the bar or kitchen – and versatile. And remember, accessories are everything!
While smaller pieces of equipment may be less expensive, they may not meet your business demands. Regularly used equipment that lacks in quality can also end up costing your business more in the long run.
