Practical Tips for Choosing the Right Equipment
When you need to stock a kitchen for a specific event, consider these factors:
- Guest Count & Menu Scope – For 200 guests, a 4‑deck convection oven and two 60‑L fryers typically cover hot‑holding and cooking demands.
- Space Constraints – If the venue is tight, opt for under‑counter refrigeration (200 L) and portable induction cooktops to save floor area.
- Power & Energy – Verify that the site can supply the required kW; a 12 kW oven needs a 32 A 3‑phase supply. Rent equipment with energy‑saving labels to reduce utility costs.
- Rental Duration – Rentals are priced per day, but a 3‑day
