Preparation Equipment

Start with the task consuming the most labour or creating the biggest service bottleneck, then select equipment that improves that specific workflow.

Use typical batch size, peak prep volume and frequency of use. Equipment should have enough capacity without forcing unnecessarily large batches.

Confirm voltage, phase and circuit requirements for the selected model before ordering, particularly for larger mixers and processing equipment.

Look for removable food-contact parts, accessible surfaces and a layout that supports frequent cleaning between ingredients and tasks.
