How To Get The Best Foodservice Equipment For Your New Kitchen

By Mark I Rees

When you are starting a new catering service or expanding an existing one it is an exciting time with lots of jobs needing to be done, ideas to be created and decisions to be made. This makes it important that you choose a top quality foodservice equipment design and installation firm. Below are some of the key factors which will make your design process a lot easier.

1. Choose a firm with experience – In this business there is simply no substitute for the wealth of knowledge and problem solving ability which comes with years and years on working with the likes of big restaurants and hotel chains. A top name in the industry such as Rees Associates will generally have an impressive track record stretching back over several decades and a large number of satisfied customers you can check on.

2. Look for a clear and well defined initial stage – At this point the foodservice equipment design needs to be underpinned by a thorough investigation into how you plan to work, the space you have available and the way in which your personnel and goods are going to need to move within the kitchen. An initial estimate of the cost for the supply and installation of all of the necessary kitchen equipment should be made available to you here.

3. A design stage which includes all the details – Once your requirements and limitations are known and the budget agreed you need to move onto the design stage. Now you should expect to see things such as professional CAD drawings of the plans and full specifications of the equipment which is going to be installed.

4. Find a solid manufacturing process -This is where the ideas for your new kitchen are turned into reality, so you should look for a design firm which works with the biggest names in the business and which can show you examples of their work from previous similar jobs.

5. A professional installation process – The rest of the process wont count for much if this final stage is badly handled. The company which is handling the design and installation should obviously take charge of all aspects of the installation process on every single piece of equipment in your new kitchen.

6. Other points – It makes sense to look for a foodservice equipment firm which is independent from the kitchen equipment manufacturers. This means that they wont just give you their equipment but will instead independently assess all of the options on the market and advise you on the pros and the cons of each one of them. Look for something like the Rees Associates guarantee, which gives their clients a 12 month warranty on all equipment regardless of the manufacturers own guarantee.

If you follow these six simple steps then you will get the top quality kitchen you need, designed to meet your exact specifications. Every part of the design, manufacturing and installation processes will be carried out to the highest standard to ensure that your foodservice equipment is planned and put into place without any hassles or upsets.
