Developing the space, filing the necessary permits, selecting front-of-house (FoH) furniture, and all the other tasks that go along with building a restaurant, come with costs. Those pertaining to kitchen equipment are perhaps among the top concerns for every restaurant owner. Understanding this expense is therefore critical to building a viable budget, yet there is no one surefire answer for every project. As such, the total potential cost for a full arsenal of kitchen equipment will fall within a fairly wide range.
The impression a guest walks away with from a restaurant has to do with far more than merely the taste of the food. Ideally, guests should have an experience that’s enjoyable to their other senses, as well. One of the most important aspects of the dining experience beyond taste is sight. Achieving the most visually appealing meals means selecting the right dinnerware to complement both the food and decor!
Building a restaurant kitchen is a lot like assembling an enormous puzzle. It requires time and careful thought and all the pieces must fit together perfectly to achieve the desired results. If any of the pieces are missing, or put in the wrong place, it’ll be easy to spot and the finished product will suffer. One of the most important pieces of the puzzle that is your restaurant's kitchen is the equipment. From the big items like refrigerators and ovens to the smaller gadgets like food processors and mixers, each tool plays a crucial role in turning ingredients into delicious dishes for your patrons.
Running a restaurant means taking on a variety of responsibilities. Providing delicious meals to patrons, maintaining the safety and quality of those meals, keeping an efficient kitchen, and managing staff are just some of the tasks required on a daily basis. Consequently, any piece of equipment that can make this demanding job easier is an invaluable asset to the kitchen.

If you’re running a commercial foodservice operation, an oven is an essential piece of equipment. Even operations where cooked or baked goods aren’t the menu's main event normally have some need to cook or bake certain things. Different foods, as any chef knows, have different requirements when it comes to cooking, and that means more than just setting the oven to the right temperature.
Sam Tell knows that so much more goes into crafting a positive dining experience than what customers eat and drink. Creating the right impression with your guests is critical to maintaining your business, and while the menu and its preparation get most of the attention for influencing this, some of the most important considerations have little to do with food, at all.
A school cafeteria serves a critical function beyond that of any typical restaurant. While the latter's chief goal is to provide guests with a pleasant dining experience, cafeterias have the responsibility of providing the primary source of nutrition for students.
