Knowing the type of restaurant that will be opened is key to knowing the type of restaurant equipment that should be purchased. A small café will not need nearly as much restaurant equipment than a fancy, full-scale restaurant will need. A grab and go restaurant like McDonalds will have different needs than a semi-fast food restaurant like Applebee’s.
There are some basic necessities that all kitchens will need, however the size and type needed will vary. For example, all restaurants will need refrigeration; however, not all will need a walk-in refrigerator. Some restaurants will be able to use sliding door refrigeration units. Also, all restaurants will need a freezer of some type. Freezers can also be found in walk-in size or in separate units that are similar to household freezers.
All restaurant kitchen equipment lists will include a stove. Again, the type of stove will be determined by the type of restaurant. Fast food restaurants may only need flat top stoves for cooking burgers, full scale restaurants may need a combination flat top and gas burner stove with oven. Still other restaurants may need only gas burner stoves.
