Frequently Asked Questions
What types of commercial restaurant equipment are essential for a new restaurant?
Essential equipment typically includes gas or electric ranges, reach-in commercial refrigeration, deep fryers, convection ovens, ice machines, stainless steel work tables, and a commercial dishwashing station.
How do I choose between gas and electric cooking equipment?
Gas equipment reaches high temperatures quickly and offers immediate heat adjustments via open flame, making it ideal for high-volume cooklines. Electric equipment offers even heat distribution, simpler installation where gas lines are unavailable, and more efficient energy transfer.
What is the importance of energy efficiency in commercial restaurant equipment?
ENERGY STAR® certified equipment reduces utility consumption, lowers ambient kitchen temperatures, and often qualifies for utility company rebate incentives.
How often should commercial restaurant equipment be serviced?
Commercial equipment should receive preventive maintenance at least twice a year. High-wear systems like ice machines and refrigeration condensers require quarterly coil cleaning and water filter replacements to maintain operational efficiency.
