Match equipment to your menu, peak covers, and available utilities—not generic checklists from forums. Write down voltage, gas type, door sizes, and health department questions for your county.

Request written quotes that include price, warranty labor, freight to your state, and estimated lead time. Keep model and serial numbers on file from delivery day forward.

Buying checklist

List menu items, daily volume, and staff count tied to restaurant kitchen equipment. Share that brief when you request quotes.

Compare at least two models on upfront cost, freight, warranty, and US parts availability.

Mistakes to avoid

Buying restaurant kitchen equipment without measuring doorways, aisles, and electrical panels delays most US restaurant openings.

Assuming list price includes freight or lift-gate delivery can break a café or ghost-kitchen budget—get logistics in writing.

Compliance and Industry Standards

See NAFEM for guidance related to restaurant kitchen equipment. Align installation and cleaning with your US state and local health rules.
