Commercial Kitchen Equipment
Commercial Kitchen Equipment
By J. Baker
Electric or Gas – Make sure you know ahead of time whether you need gas or electric appliances. Find out what your building is set up for. Many restaurant owners make the mistake of assuming wrong and they buy equipment that will not work in their building. This can be a very costly mistake.
Avoid Buying Used Equipment – Buying used equipment can be risky, especially for a new restaurant owner. Unless you know the seller well, you might end up with equipment or appliances that were expensive that once broken, cannot be returned or covered by a warranty.
NSF Stickers on All Commercial Kitchen Equipment – All of your appliances and commercial equipment must have NSF stickers on it, meaning The National Sanitation Foundation. Without these stickers your equipment will probably not meet the codes of the city and health inspector.
Find Out All The Codes Ahead of Time – Before you purchase any commercial equipment, including refrigeration, ovens, microwaves and everything else, find out all of the expectations and requirements of city inspectors, health, building and fire inspectors.
Find Out About Warranty Info – Find out what kind of warranties are available on the products you are considering purchasing. Compare the warranties on different products when you are gathering quotes from multiple sources.
Don’t Overbuy – Take the time to carefully calculate the equipment you will need. Pace yourself so that you buy the basics first and then if you find you need additional equipment later, you can always do that.
Make sure you do your homework and find the best deals on quality commercial kitchen equipment you can.
