THINK MENU BEFORE BUYING FOOD SERVICE EQUIPMENT

When refurbishing a commercial kitchen to get it ready to serve customers, you need to know that apart from appliances, there is other food service equipment that needs to be provided for the chefs too.  They have nothing to do with machines and ovens, but they are the ordinary every-day things such as pots and pans, knives and ladles.

Of course, you need to think of crockery and table cloths too as without them you will not get very far trying to serve food.  The list needs to be related to the food you are thinking of serving as the buying of equipment depends on that.  You will not need a deep fryer if you are going to serve nouvelle cuisine.

Because there are so many items of equipment involved in running a restaurant, it may serve you well to list all the equipment you will need to get you started.  This is especially important if you have to stick to a limited budget.  It is the essentials that are important and additional items can be added at a later date once you have more cash to play with.



Once the list is compiled you can approach a professional design company who will help with plans for a kitchen that will make good use of the available space.  They can also source everything you need, not only to equip the kitchen but they can supply restaurant furniture too.

There are many appliances on the market that do the job efficiently and that are energy saving too.  If the initial outlay is a little larger than you had anticipated you should think of the money you are going to save when the utility bills come in.  What you have spent on the equipment will soon be recouped by lower bills.

You can research your suppliers by logging onto the internet.  These days with social media easily accessed you will be able to read reviews about most things, including suppliers of all kinds of equipment.
