Choosing high-quality and suitable commercial equipment for your restaurant kitchen is not an easy task.. Even after reviewing hundreds of videos and listening to dozens of recommendations, you may find it difficult to fully assess whether a piece of equipment meets your requirements.
You can learn how to choose high-quality equipment for a restaurant only through experience. But today we will share with you some tricks that will help you make the right choice.
A good restaurant needs consistency
A commercial kitchen is a high-demand environment where each day brings different challenges. One of the biggest considerations for any professional chef or restaurateur before opening their doors to customers is how can I provide consistency in my dishes? Commercial cooking equipment provides consistent results with its heavy duty capability and fast speed. With this kind of reliable performance on the line will help keep costs down and production up during daily operations, making it easier for restaurants to maintain standards without compromising quality ingredients.
By investing in industrial ovens that are designed for heavy use, chefs always know they have back up if something goes wrong (i.e.: stovetop burners stop working). In addition to helping them get more accomplished throughout the day by being able to cook at a faster rate, industrial ovens are also up to the task of providing consistent results. These types of ovens are designed with longer burners and wider ranges that allow cooks more room for error without compromising quality or taste.
Your equipment choice has a great influence on cooking speed and efficiency
Commercial cooking efficiency is vital in order to maintain a healthy work environment for staff. The efficiency of commercial kitchen equipment has been greatly improved and the efficiency of commercial cooking overall has increased as well. This efficiency can be attributed to many factors, including energy efficiency in kitchens, advances in technology, and new innovations that have made it easier than ever before to cook food quickly while still maintaining high standards of quality.
In addition, there are other benefits associated with these advancements which include: lower costs related to utilities or fuel consumption; greater operational flexibility; reduced labor requirements at times when demand would normally require hiring additional staff members on shift; less waste from spoiled ingredients or overproduction because the proper amount will always be cooked (saving money); decreased risk of product spoilage; and, minimal food loss from efficiency.
For commercial cooking efficiency to be successful in the kitchen, it is important for chefs or cooks to take into consideration energy efficiency by using equipment that utilizes less energy like induction cooktops or microwaves instead of frying pans with oil where possible. It’s also essential to use cutting-edge technology such as gas ovens fitted with a catalytic converter which not only produce fewer emissions but can actually generate more heat than an electric oven (depending on the type). Other innovations available now include grills designed specifically for indoor operation so they don’t require any ventilation systems for safety reasons along with built-in timers that ensure efficient working conditions during busy hours when staff need shorter breaks between shifts because there is no need to worry about turning the oven off and on.
Equipment Durability, Servicing and Warranty
The durability of commercial kitchen equipment is important for a number of reasons. The right cooking gear can make the difference between high-quality food that tastes great and average or subpar dishes that your customers will often never want to order again. A well-made commercial stove, oven, grill, griddle, fryer, convection oven and more will last for years, meaning that you won’t have to worry about constantly updating your cooking equipment or purchasing new appliances.
Warranty coverage varies for commercial kitchen appliances, but it typically includes some form of repair cost protection or replacement in the event your commercial oven breaks down from normal use. The quality of the commercial oven will determine how long you can expect that appliance to last before needing repairs or replacement.
Therefore, when choosing commercial kitchen equipment you also want to ensure that you have easy access to parts and qualified servicing technicians for it. It is also important to keep servicing it as part of a regular maintenance routine. Qualified service technicians will check the equipment for signs of wear and tear before spotting potential issues that could affect its performance negatively.
Your restaurant’s cooking equipment is an investment, so it needs servicing just like any other machine or piece of equipment. Keeping it working at peak performance is a vital part of your business operation, as well as an important safety measure for the employees who will be in contact with it.
Consult with your Chef!
Anyway, the main expert in the choice of equipment should be the chef of the restaurant. It is he who has experience working with various kitchen appliances and knows the needs of the kitchen and cooks. Do not forget to find out his opinion before equipping the kitchen of your restaurant.
