Fast Food: How to Equip a Quick Service Restaurant

Location and Essential Equipment for a Fast Food Bar

A fast food bar cannot survive without customers. The location should be in the city center, near old town areas, or in busy office complexes or student campuses. While the rent may be cheaper in less populated areas, the lack of customers can quickly lead to failure.

Regardless of the menu, a fast food bar cannot function without essential equipment, including:

• Contact grill,
• Toaster for bread and open-faced baguettes,
• Hot dog grill or warmer,
• Fryer,
• Two-burner gas stove or electric hot plate,
• Microwave oven,
• Refrigerator,
• Ventilation system with odor neutralizer.

Other Essential Features for a Fast Food Bar

If the bar has more than 10 dining spaces, a restroom is required. In the kitchen, there must be a refrigerator, storage cabinets, bread containers, a two-chamber sink, and a ventilation hood with an odor neutralizer.

Spare Parts for Fast Food Equipment

Several heavily used appliances (e.g., contact grill, hot dog warmer, and fryer) may require part replacements. In such cases, you should rely on spare parts suppliers.
