Why Create a Commercial Kitchen Plan that includes the tech?
Our initial commercial kitchen planning starts with the space available in the kitchen and what appliances are required. Plus, their dimensions space e.g.. item length, width, and height? We also think a great start to planning a catering kitchen is to note the point of entry size for moving equipment into place.
On new and major rebuild kitchen projects a detailed specification should be produced to quantify all equipment, confirm all options, and set out any variations.
So, what is a Specification?
A specification is a statement that includes a detailed description or lists features of equipment. A specification will include all the technical details and requirements that the purchaser has in mind for the equipment.
The technical specification defines what is needed for the equipment and identify the minimum requirements needed.
Catering Appliance Features and quality level requirements
Once you have a grasp of the general plan for the kitchen, you can then think about the details and functionalities you want your catering kitchen planner to deliver on.
Things to Consider When Writing a Specification for a commercial kitchen plan:
- What type of equipment you are requesting?
- What quantity is needed of each piece of equipment?
- Equipment capacity to meet the number of meals served.
- What construction materials should be used?
- What power source is required gas, electric, steam coil or direct steam?
- Do you have gas available or only electricity?
- What is the voltage and phase of your available electric supply?
- Do you need to specify a particular type of plug to match your outlets?
- For equipment that has plumbing connections, what size water lines are needed?
- Do you have adequate drains to handle any discharge water in the location you want to place the equipment?
- If the equipment requires steam, do you have available the required steam pressure?
- Are gas, water, or steam pressure regulators required?
- If it is equipment that needs to be placed under a hood, do you have adequate space under the hood?
- Does that hood have adequate air circulation (CFM’s) to handle the additional exhaust load from the piece of equipment
