Opening a restaurant can be a daunting venture. There is so much to know and to prepare for, it can often seem overwhelming. From business plans to seed money, it can seem like the to-do list is endless, and it can be difficult to remember everything that needs to be done.
However, once you get down to the nitty gritty of getting your space prepared for launch, you will need to make sure that your business is outfitted properly by purchasing the correct restaurant equipment that you need for the front of the house.
The needs can vary widely depending on the type of establishment you are launching. For example, a fine dining restaurant would need to include tablecloths and other linens, and a coffee shop would need to think about espresso machines and coffee grinders. No matter what your specialty though, you will without a doubt need a long list of restaurant equipment.
To help you on your journey, and make narrowing down all the little details easier, it is a good idea to seek out the help of the professionals. Starting a new business is stressful enough, you don’t have to do each step all on your own! At the Automatic Ice Maker Company, we don’t just deal in ice-makers (although we do have plenty of those!) We also have a full line of equipment including bakery cases, drink coolers, and even ice-cream freezers. We offer new and used restaurant equipment to better fit your budgeting needs.
For informational purposes, let’s break down the front-of-the-house equipment needed to open a bakery.
Display Cases
The display cases are the crown jewel of a bakery because they showcase all the baker has to offer. There are a ton of different display cases on the market, all different shapes and sizes. So no matter if you are dealing in strictly cupcakes or you are making six-tier wedding cakes, there is a case available to showcase your masterpiece.
Display Shelving
Just like the display cases, the display shelving is also the way to show off your hard work and get people excited about your wares. Shelving is for the items that are packaged or covered, and they can also showcase replicas of your baked goods.
Point-of-Sale Equipment
This is your cash register system which is a vital part of your business! There are so many options available now from a simple credit card swiper attached to your cell phone to a large machine that holds thousands of SKUs.
Automatic Ice Maker Co has a large selection of restaurant equipment available for purchase. We would love to make your dreams of owning a restaurant a reality.
