Top Six Things Every New Restaurant Needs

If you’ve always dreamt of owning a restaurant in St. Louis, we encourage you to chase that dream! There’s always room for a fun restaurant that serves delicious food and provides a wonderful place to sit down with friends and family. Of course, there’s a lot of hard work and sweat that goes into starting up a restaurant in Missouri. It all begins with a dream, but before you know it, you’ll be knee-deep in decisions and research.

Having the top of the line commercial kitchen equipment is important, but what all do you need in your kitchen in order for it to run smoothly? Here are six things you’ll want to consider investing in. After you make your purchases, don’t forget that Fast Fix LLC is here to help you keep them running smoothly and efficiently!


1. A Refrigerator

Having refrigeration equipment is incredibly important for a commercial kitchen - imperative actually. This will help prevent your food from spoiling or melting. A refrigerator and freezer may be essential, but different restaurants will need different types. From cute little bakeries to Italian eateries, you’ll be able to find the perfect unit for your space with a little bit of research.

2. Commercial Grill

Grills can be helpful for all different types of food preparation. From grilling sandwiches to flipping pancakes, it can be a very vital part of your kitchen. They come in all shapes, sizes, and types, so you’ll want to look around to find what works best for your business.

3. Ice Machines

When serving drinks, a great ice machine will be a key player in the success of your kitchen. Ice is necessary for serving soda and iced water, but can also be helpful when creating blended drinks like smoothies, margaritas, and slushies.

4. Broilers

A broiler is essential for restaurants like pizzerias, sandwich shops, and bakeries. They allow you to finish off your dishes before serving them with a perfect golden brown top. They can also melt the cheese on casseroles as well. Some will attach directly the wall for easy use and keeping valuable counter space open.

5. Griddles

A griddle can be a great piece of equipment when cooking many different foods. From burgers to breakfast foods, and even grilled sandwiches, the versatility that comes with a griddle is essential. Even if you run a small operation like a food truck, you can find one that is small enough to fit your needs.

6. Grease Traps

This doesn't sound very appealing, but it can be more than important when it keeps grease, sediment, and solids from entering your plumbing. That can lead to expensive repairs and emergency situations. Protect your plumbing with a grease trap that attaches to your commercial dishwasher, prep sink, or other equipment that connects to your plumbing.
