​Essential Equipment for Your Restaurant

Thinking of opening a new restaurant? There are many things to think about. One of the most important decisions to make is choosing the right kitchen equipment. This allows your workers to comfortably and efficiently prepare the delicious dishes that you plan to offer.

The equipment you need goes hand in hand with the restaurant concept you have planned, but there is also a list of equipment that all restaurants must have to build an ideal commercial kitchen. In other words, they are the essentials you'll need to purchase, regardless of its concept.

Refrigeration Equipment

It is indispensable to have refrigerators and freezers, to prevent food from melting or spoiling. Choose a model with the capacity and characteristics according to the needs of your restaurant. There are many refrigeration options such as Reach-In Refrigerators and Freezers or Undercounter Refrigerators or even combination Fridge-Freezers. These can have either solid doors or glass doors.

Cooking Equipment

This category is the most crucial equipment in your restaurant. These include Ranges, Fryers, Ovens, Griddles, grills and much more. A good Range option would be one which integrates 2 or more products in a single piece of equipment such as an Oven- Stove-Griddle combo. Commercial Grills that come in different shapes, sizes, and types, are necessary for any food business. They are used to prepare everything from sandwiches to cuts of beef, chicken, or fish. Even Exhaust Hoods, help to prevent smoke from spreading to other areas of the restaurant.

Ice Machines

An ice machine is vital in any establishment that serves drinks, be it water, soft drinks, milkshakes, or even cocktails like margaritas or frozen daiquiris.

Commercial Shelving

These cabinets help keep everything organized in the kitchen. They are used to store everything from food to tableware. Look for rust-resistant models and those whose coatings make them ideal for humid environments. Its size depends on the production scale of your restaurant.

Food Prep Counter

Prep tables, counters, and cutting surfaces are necessary for any commercial kitchen. Choose preparation surfaces made of stainless steel. They hold up against corrosion, doesn't absorb bacteria from food and meat juices, and can withstand the harsh cleaning products used in commercial kitchens. It would be a plus if you put some undercounter freezers and coolers, which allow you easy access to the food. Check out these undercounter refrigeration that Leasetaurant offers you.

High Performance Blender

These blenders are designed to work continuously and very quickly. These machines are durable and usually have a large capacity to allow you to mix many ingredients at the same time.

Food Processors

These devices are like high performance blenders, but instead of using a fixed blade like heavy-duty blenders, they use interchangeable blades and discs, and typically use wider jars to handle solid or semi-solid foods. Check out these food processors that Leasetaurant offers to you.

Sinks And Dishwashers

Sinks are vital to any restaurant's kitchen. Sinks provide spaces for hand washing, cleaning produce, defrosting frozen meat, washing cooking utensil and dishes. As well as an automatic dishwashing machine, to help you simplify this arduous task and maintain your dishes wash, rinse, and sanitize.

Remember that not all restaurants have the same needs. These will depend on the production scale of your business.
