The restaurant sector was one of the most affected by the coronavirus pandemic. According to experts, the sector should lead the recovery of the economy in the post-pandemic period, with new establishments and new hires. In this sense, to ensure the best services for your customer, standing out in the face of such a competitive market, equipping your kitchen with the right equipment is essential.

That's why we bring this week an article about the essential equipment for the kitchen of any restaurant. Throughout this text, we will highlight some cooking, refrigeration and distribution equipment.

How to choose the right equipment?

First of all, we must consider the individualities of each establishment. In this sense, it is essential to evaluate the available budget, the availability of space, the size of the kitchen and the restaurant's demand.

Thus, a good alternative is the implementation of container kitchens. Modular solutions have been widely used in the world of restaurants, as they allow for better cost-benefit, in addition to making better use of space.

The right cooking equipment

Among the cooking class, used in the preparation of various foods from the heat supply, we highlight 2 pieces of equipment:

Industrial oven

Stoves are certainly the most used equipment in a restaurant kitchen. This is due to its practicality and versatility, allowing the preparation of different types of food. When compared to conventional stoves, industrial models bring some important advantages: greater speed, construction in iron and stainless steel, easier cleaning and more intense flames under pressure.

Cauldron

Cauldrons are essential for any medium or large kitchen, as they allow for large-scale food preparation. There are electric and gas models, which vary in terms of the energy source used and become more or less suitable depending on the structure of your kitchen. Gas models require receiving gas via special piping, but do not require the use of electricity and, therefore, become more economical in the long run.

The right refrigeration equipment

Among the refrigeration equipment, we highlight industrial freezers and breweries.

Industrial freezer

Freezers are the best-known and most common refrigeration equipment in restaurant kitchens. They become fundamental for the practical and safe storage of meats, vegetables, desserts and other foods. There are vertical and horizontal models, which must be chosen based on 4 main factors. In this sense, we must consider the physical space available, the frequency of opening the lid, the amount of product to be stored and the temperature range in which it will be used.

Brewery

The brewery is the ideal refrigeration equipment for establishments that work with the supply of beer. Designed and assembled exactly for beverage storage, it is able to keep beer at its ideal temperature, close to the freezing point, but without freezing it.

The right distribution and utility equipment

In a restaurant, the distribution, display of dishes and maintenance of their ideal temperature become fundamental. In this sense, we highlight the thermal counters and the Richards.

Thermal counters

Widely used in restaurants around the world for displaying food, thermal counters are ideal for those who adopt the self-service model. By keeping food temperature in its optimal range, it leads to a better customer experience, contributing to your restaurant's success.
