Starting A New Restaurant? 2 Types Of Restaurant Equipment You Need
If you are starting a new restaurant, there are many things you must do. One of these things is to purchase the equipment that you need. To get you started, below are two types of restaurant equipment you need.
Refrigeration, Coolers, and Freezers
When it comes to refrigeration, coolers, and freezers, you have many options available. One of these options is a reach-in cooler and freezer that stands upright. This type has great storage as there are generally multiple sections. This allows you to organize the items you put in the cooler/freezer. If you choose this, you should keep the reach-in cooler and freezer towards the back of the kitchen. This is because you do not want it placed near where you are cooking as the heat will affect the coolant temperature.
Another type available is a walk-in cooler and freezer. This is needed if you have a large restaurant and need to store a large amount of food. You can find some that are smaller and some that are as big as a room. If you choose this type of refrigeration, make sure there is shelving to allow you to organize your food.
Another type is under-the-counter refrigerator drawers. This will work great if you have a smaller restaurant. This is because it will save you a lot of space having the refrigerator under your counter. Many restaurants place these drawers near the cooking area. This way you can remove what you are cooking from the drawer and then start cooking the food immediately.
Dishwasher
One type of dishwasher used is placed under the counter, much like residential dishwashers. This works great for smaller kitchens that will not have a lot of dishes throughout the day. These dishwashers are not as powerful as others, but they do help save space.
Another type available is a commercial dishwasher that has a door, which looks much like a cabinet. This is best if you have a larger restaurant with a busy kitchen. This is because this type of dishwasher is larger and is also more powerful. You should know this dishwasher uses more water when compared to other types, but you will save a lot of time being able to wash more dishes at once.
If your kitchen is large and you stay busy throughout the day, a conveyor dishwasher would work well for you. This type does take up more space, but it is powerful and can handle a high volume of dishes.
Talk with a company that sells restaurant equipment to learn much more about these, as well as other equipment you will need to purchase.
