What do catering kitchens need?

Of course, restaurants need to deliver delicious food and quality services. However, in order to operate to their best abilities, catering kitchens must be equipped with great equipment if they want to thrive — especially against their competitors.

Catering kitchens require specific equipment to function to their best abilities. Here are some of the necessary appliance considerations and kitchen outfittings that your catering space will need:

• Commercial grade refrigerator and freezer
• Commercial oven
• Food service specific faucets
• Ice machine
• Kitchen linens
• Storage space and shelving
• Cookware, including pots, pans, whisks, etc.
• Safety and maintenance equipment

Commercial bar checklist

If you own a commercial bar, you understand how high-speed the industry is. Drinks must be delivered fast and any accompanying food is expected to be present just as quickly. Not only is speed imperative in this line of work but so is presentation. In addition, spills may occur in your commercial bar more often than other settings.

With all of these considerations in mind, we’ve crafted a checklist of important appliances and other necessities that your commercial bar should have, including:

• Coolers
• Pre-rinse faucets
• Blenders
• Beer dispensers
• Glassware

Essential commercial bakery equipment

When choosing the best commercial bakery equipment, it’s important to think about typical kitchen needs along with bakery-specific features. Just as baking is an extremely precise art, so is crafting a commercial bakery kitchen. Here are some items to add to your list as you develop your commercial bakery:

• Commercial mixers
• Pot and glass filler sinks
• Commercial ovens, including convection, deck, and roll-in-rack ovens
• Display cases
