COMMERCIAL RESTAURANT EQUIPMENT

Here is a general checklist of everything you need to outfit your restaurant kitchen:

• Burner Range
• Oven
• Grill
• Deep-fryer
• Reach-in cooler
• Walk-in cooler
• Freezer
• Chef’s knives
• Pizza paddle
• Whisks
• Mixing bowls
• Plastic inserts for coolers
• Steam table
• Appetizer plates

• Dessert plates
• Metal or plastic shelves for walk-in cooler
• Cleaning rags

You might not require every item, depending on the size of your commercial restaurant equipment and the restaurant idea. You might also want equipment that is better suited to your restaurant concept, such as an ice cream maker if you intend to serve artisanal ice cream or bread pans if you intend to bake your own bread. When creating your list of commercial restaurant equipment, make sure to take into account every element of your menu plan and kitchen layout.
