When you are looking to build or renovate a commercial kitchen, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. Following these tips will help ensure that your commercial kitchen in Austin is fit for purpose and meets the needs of your business. 

1. Size and Capacity:

Commercial kitchens come in all shapes and sizes, but they typically fall into one of two categories: small or large. A small commercial kitchen might have a capacity of 10-15 people, while a large kitchen might accommodate up to 50 or more people. It’s important to consider the size of your business before making a purchase, as well as the eventual needs of your staff. 

2. Space Requirements:

Commercial kitchens usually come with a lot of space requirements – they’re not going to be compact! You need at least 2 meters (6 feet) of clearance on all sides, plus enough room on top and underneath to accommodate the equipment you’ll be using. If you’re planning on installing any type of lift or walk-in cooler, make sure you factor that extra space into your calculations. 

3. Equipment Needs:

When it comes to commercial kitchens, there’s no such thing as a ‘standard’ unit. We all know that’s the case, and we understand that it can be a bit of a challenge when you’re looking for something new, but don’t assume every commercial kitchen is going to be the same. The most common equipment used in this type of kitchen includes things like ovens, freezers, large walk-in coolers, refrigerators, and dishwashers.
