Top Kit Equipment for 2024

As a supplier of capital equipment for the hospitality and public sectors, we have a vast experience of providing the best appliances to commercial kitchens. We understand the needs and requirements of modern chefs and appreciate the tasks they face during prep and service periods.

Below is a list of five capital equipment products which are great additions to any current commercial kitchen to help chefs work more efficiently.

ScanBox

The ScanBox is a large hot banquet trolley which is perfect for restaurants that produce large volume meals for events such as wedding breakfasts, large celebratory meals and other such gatherings. It can hold GN 2/1 trays and transport them to the desired area making them also perfect for hospitality venues that have a buffet area which may not be located immediately by the kitchen.

The trolley boasts a fantastic capacity meaning an instant reduction in the amount of time your team will be travelling between cooking and serving sites.

k-Fee

For cafes, restaurants and other eateries that offer their customers coffee, investing in a commercial coffee machine can make great economical sense. Whilst we have a range of options available including traditional espresso machines, if you want an option which requires little training then we’d suggest the K-Fee Commercial Twin Coffee Pod Machine.

The K-Fee represents a low-cost capsule option which benefits from being compact, well-equipped whilst still being visually attractive.

iVario

The iVario Pro stands out from traditional cooking appliances due to its wide range of features which are designed to aid and help commercial chefs. Its AI capabilities enable it to comprehend and respond to user commands, produce a simplified navigation and operation. Whether you are an experienced chef or a beginner in the kitchen, the iVario Pro’s user-friendly interface guarantees a smooth cooking experience. One of its remarkable attributes is the precise temperature control, which allows for accurate cooking methods like sous vide, slow cooking, and simmering. By maintaining temperatures within a narrow range, this appliance ensures that your dishes are consistently cooked to perfection, resulting in improved flavours and textures.

Slush Machine

There’s perhaps nothing quite as refreshing for your customers as a slushed ice drink on a hot, sunny day. But creating one can sometimes be a time-consuming process if you have to make it yourself. For venues who only offer seasonal slushed drinks then a blender is usually fine but for those with a large offering which is year-round, there should definitely be an investment in a slush machine.

When considering a slush machine, we’d recommend the Blue Ice ST12X3 as it offers a brilliant solution for maximising the amount of beverage that can be produced. With having the three individual compartments this allows you to offer three different flavours all at once and the 9-litre capacity ensures you won’t run out during a service period. The machine is easy to install, use and maintain and benefits from a strong stainless-steel construction, a rapid 40-minute freeze down time with an adjustable temperature control too.

Bottler Cooler

A staple amongst pubs, restaurants, cafes and bars, bottle coolers are an essential piece of kit for commercial venues. There are multiple options available when looking to add a new bottle cooler to your current appliance set up, but one we’d suggest is the Sterling Pro SP2HC-BS with sliding door. The glass fronted sliding door makes it easy for customers to see what drinks are available whilst also allowing staff to keep an eye on stock levels too.

The bottle cooler is manufactured with an embossed aluminium interior and boasts an environmentally friendly R600a refrigerant along with LED lighting. The internal capacity is 228 litres which translates to 180 x 330ml bottles. As a bar fridge it is easy to install and not too difficult to move around should you change the layout of your venue.

These five pieces of equipment are items which may not be the first on a list of necessary appliances from your kitchen staff, but they certainly can achieve superior efficiency when employed. For venues which need capital equipment we have a huge offering which covers everything from universal staples such as ovens, refrigerators, freezers, hot cupboards and more to specialised items which are designed for niche kitchens.
