Compare equipment against your food, peak workload, space, utilities, cleaning routine and maintenance access.

Match the equipment to the menu and workload

List the recipes and food types the equipment must handle. Estimate the peak period and batch pattern, and separate routine service from exceptional events. Capacity claims should be checked against the exact intended use.

Check space and utilities before selecting a model

Measure the footprint, door swing, loading route and access for staff. Use manufacturer documentation for electrical, gas, water, drainage, ventilation and clearance requirements that apply to the specific model.

Compare cleaning, service and quote scope

Review removable parts, cleaning access, spare-part identification and maintenance needs. Ask each supplier to clarify the model, accessories, delivery, installation and after-sales items included. Confirm current availability and price in writing.
