When you are setting up a new restaurant, the most important part of the restaurant kitchen is equipment which is to be used. Few of this kitchen equipment are based on the menu of your restaurant and others are the basic requirements of the restaurant.
Equipment like a pizza oven, sandwich griller is optional if you offer fast food in your menu then you need this equipment otherwise not. But equipment like dishwasher, burners, and exhaust hood are the inseparable part of the kitchen, without this equipment you cannot start cooking or serving in your restaurant.
You need a sink for soiled utensils and working table for cutting and other purposes. Bain Marie is required to keep the ready to eat food hot. The serving table can be used for multiple purposes.
Basic Required Equipment:-
Burner Range:
Burners are required in any kitchen equipment whether you opt for cooking and preparing food or you opt for ready made food serving only. You need burners to warm or cook or get the food ready to serve in your restaurant.
