Equipment for small catering establishments
Catering kitchens
We always say that the kitchen is the heart of every catering establishment – and with good reason. After all, it is an efficient piece of equipment on which a variety of dishes can be prepared. At Krometa, we understand the needs of a wide range of establishments, which is why we offer a variety of catering kitchens in several variants. This means that everyone can find the perfect equipment to suit the individual needs of their business.
For small catering establishments, it is worth choosing proven solutions that guarantee high quality and low failure rates. We particularly recommend checking out:
- Cookers with electric ovens – perfect for establishments that also serve baked dishes, such as casseroles or lasagne. By combining two functions in one appliance, you will save not only space but also money.
- 4-burner cookers – ideal for preparing several dishes at the same time. Kromet offers models in various sizes that can be adapted to the available space
- Induction cookers – Kromet’s most modern cookers; they are equipped with energy-saving systems, which translates into lower bills
Frying and grilling equipment
In small catering establishments, the speed of food preparation is also important. That is why it is worth investing in equipment dedicated to frying and grilling. When choosing such equipment, you should consider, among other things:
- Deep fryers – ideal for preparing chips, nuggets and other fried snacks. Kromet models are equipped with precise thermostats that ensure an even oil temperature.
- Grill plates – great for grilling meat, vegetables or panini sandwiches. Available in smooth and grooved versions, allowing them to be adapted to the restaurant’s menu.
Gastronomic salamander with lift – a multifunctional device that allows you to quickly defrost, heat, bake and grill a variety of dishes.
Kitchen space optimisation
For small catering outlets, it is important to make the most of the available space. The 700 line from Kromet is a modular solution that allows you to combine different appliances into a single technological line. This allows you to create a functional kitchen even in a small space. It is also worth considering ordering a personalised catering monoblock, which will have a multitude of uses and appliances arranged in a small space. Also, consider investing in multifunctional equipment – it is an absolute must-have in small catering establishments. For example, you can opt for appliances on cabinet bases, which, in addition to performing their basic function, will provide you with additional storage space for dishes or ingredients.
3 practical tips for choosing equipment
Before making your final choices, it is worth analysing the specifics of your premises – from the workspace to the type of dishes served – and paying attention to technologies that optimise processes (energy-efficient solutions or modular equipment design). Below are practical tips from Kromet specialists to help you choose the right equipment for your restaurant’s needs.
- Menu analysis – consider which dishes will dominate your menu and choose equipment for their preparation (e.g. deep fryers for fast food or grill plates for burgers).
- Calculate the connection power – ensure that the electrical or gas installation in your premises is sufficient for the selected catering equipment.
- Plan your workspace – plan the layout of your kitchen to ensure smooth teamwork and easy access to all appliances and tools. If you need professional support, check out our kitchen design offer.
