How to prepare your kitchen for the new season? Review, planning, optimization

Start of a new season is the perfect moment to pause and look at your kitchen from a broader perspective. What worked well? What slowed down daily operations? Do your appliances still meet the needs of your team and menu? In this article, we walk you through the key areas worth reviewing and planning ahead.

Equipment review – the first step toward optimization

Before making decisions about investments, upgrades, or equipment replacement, it is worth taking a closer look at what you already have. A regular kitchen review should be part of every chef’s and investor’s strategy – not just a reaction when something breaks down.

Start with a simple question:
When was the last time you carried out a full equipment review?
This is not only about checking whether devices still work, but about evaluating their performance, safety, and impact on daily workflow.

What should you pay special attention to?

  • Technical condition – does the equipment operate smoothly and without issues?

  • Efficiency – does it perform its tasks without wasting time or energy?

  • Safety – are there any signs of wear that could affect comfort or workplace safety?

Pro tip: Organize an internal audit with your team. Chefs, shift leaders, and kitchen assistants often know best which solutions work well in daily operations and which cause friction. A shared review leads to more accurate decisions and builds team engagement in the modernization process.

Where to start?

  • Identify equipment that is no longer efficient – maybe it consumes too much energy, takes too long to heat up, or occupies valuable space.

  • Consider adding new appliances – for example, a fast-heating fryer that relieves pressure during peak hours.

  • Think about replacing older models with modern, energy-efficient alternatives.

At Kromet, we offer proven solutions that fit the needs of modern professional kitchens:

  • Bratt pans with automatic tilting – time savings and reduced risk of errors.

  • Boiling pans with automatic water jacket filling – greater control and improved working comfort.

  • Induction cookers with Quick Reaction and SaveEnergy technology – precision, speed, and real energy savings.

Remember, modernization is not just a cost – it is an investment that often pays for itself faster than expected, especially in high-volume, fast-paced kitchens.

Test before you buy – 7 days with Kromet equipment

Purchasing new kitchen equipment is a serious decision. Whether you run a production kitchen, a restaurant, or a canteen, it is crucial that the equipment truly fits your workflow, team, and business profile.

At Kromet, we understand this – which is why we offer a 7-day free equipment testing program. What does that mean in practice?

  • You test the equipment in your own kitchen, not in a showroom.

  • You work with your team, your menu, and real operating conditions.

  • You get full functionality – not a demo unit, but a fully operational device.

What can you test?

  • Boiling pans (80 to 300 liters) – with automatic heating jacket filling, ideal for large-scale production.

  • Bratt pans – available in gas, electric, and modern induction versions. Ergonomic, efficient, and built to last.

It is the best way to check whether a specific solution truly meets the needs of your kitchen – before making a purchase decision.

Is it time to update your kitchen layout?

A year or two ago, everything worked perfectly – but does it still? Business needs evolve. New dishes appear on the menu, teams change, and guest numbers grow. Your kitchen layout should evolve along with them.

When should you consider updating your kitchen design?

  • When the kitchen becomes cramped or uncomfortable to work in.

  • When workflows overlap and staff rotation leads to operational chaos.

  • When your business model changes – for example, when a restaurant expands into catering or opens a customer-facing kitchen.

At Kromet, we offer a comprehensive professional kitchen design service tailored to your current needs. This includes:

  • analysis of real operational requirements,

  • a design adapted to your type of business,

  • compliance with current sanitary regulations and HACCP standards.

A complete project in just 14 days – from layout to full technical documentation.

If your kitchen can no longer keep up with the daily pace, a professional update is worth considering. It is an investment that quickly pays off in efficiency, time savings, and team comfort.

Take the next step – a kitchen ready for the new season

A new season brings new challenges – higher traffic, new menus, and rising guest expectations. This is the right moment to check whether your kitchen is truly ready. Sometimes a small adjustment is enough, other times a larger upgrade or equipment change is needed.

Whether you manage a restaurant kitchen, canteen, hotel, or quick-service concept, informed investment decisions pay off for years. A well-functioning back-of-house means not only time and energy savings, but also less stress and better working conditions for the entire team.

Take the first step today:

  • plan a kitchen review,

  • test selected equipment in your own kitchen,

  • rely on the knowledge and experience of Kromet experts.

Start the new season with a well-designed, efficient, and reliable professional kitchen – ready for every challenge.
