Restaurant Equipment
Restaurant equipment covers more ground than any other trade we fit out — a full cooking line, refrigeration at storage and prep temperatures, stainless-steel benching, warewashing and the servery that carries food to the pass. This range brings the complete restaurant kitchen together in one place, so owners and chefs can plan the whole back of house instead of buying appliance by appliance. It sits within our industry equipment ranges and draws on the store's extensive commercial cooking equipment catalogue, so the wide selection here suits everything from a single replacement fryer to a complete new-site project anywhere in Australia.

Use this range if you're opening a new restaurant, refurbishing a tired kitchen, or upgrading one station without disturbing the rest of the line. It suits independent owners costing a first venue, head chefs re-speccing the cookline around a new menu, and hospitality businesses standardising kit across multiple sites. The framing here is full-service dining; if your operation leans another way, the cafe equipment range covers espresso-led cafés, catering equipment covers off-site and event work, and club and RSL equipment covers bistro-plus-function volume. Start here when the kitchen itself is the heart of the operation.

What a restaurant kitchen fit-out covers
Zone by zone — every line links to the matching range so you can build your kit as you read.
The cooking line
The cookline sets the pace of every service: gas ranges, cooktops and chargrills for the flame work, griddles for breakfast and burger menus, and fryers sized to the fried share of the docket. Restaurant cooking equipment earns its keep on recovery performance — how quickly a burner, oven or fryer returns to temperature when orders stack up — so buy for your busiest hour, not the average. Browse commercial ovens for everything from workhorse convection ovens to combi steamers, and commercial deep fryers in gas and electric formats.
Refrigeration and prep benches
Refrigeration runs around the clock, so energy efficiency, reliability and running costs matter as much as capacity: upright storage fridges for bulk holding, underbench units within reach of each station, and a freezer sized to the delivery cycle. The commercial fridges range covers every format and the wider commercial refrigeration catalogue adds freezers, blast chillers and displays. Prep is where labour hours go: anchor the area with commercial-grade 304 stainless steel benches and add the food preparation machines — mixers, food processors, slicers and veg prep — that cut repetitive knife work.
Warewashing
A restaurant dishwasher is specced in racks per hour against peak covers, not by cabinet size. An underbench machine is the compact solution for smaller dining rooms; higher plate volume calls for a pass-through unit with an inlet–outlet bench system that keeps racks moving through the rush. Browse commercial dishwashers for both formats plus glasswashers for the bar — water, drainage and rinse-temperature details are on each product page.
Servery, pass and buffet
Holding food at temperature between kitchen and table protects quality and food safety alike. Hot bain maries serve the pass or a self-serve buffet station, heat lamps hold plates on the rail, and holding cabinets buffer function service — versatility that lets one kitchen run à la carte and banquet work off the same line, so food reaches the customer at the temperature the chef intended.
How to plan a restaurant kitchen in three steps
1
Set covers and menu first
Covers per service is the number every equipment decision hangs off. Write the menu, map it to stations — fry, grill, sauté, cold larder, dessert — and cut any station the menu can't justify. A tight menu needs less equipment and runs more reliably than an ambitious one.
2
Size the cookline and refrigeration to your busiest service
Work from the peak weekend service, not the mid-week average: burner and fryer capacity that meets the docket rate, oven capacity to the roast and bake load, refrigeration litres to stock consumption between deliveries. Under-sizing the peak costs covers; over-sizing wastes capital and power.
3
Confirm power, gas, water and clearances before you order
Restaurant kitchens mix supply requirements: cookline units come in natural gas and LPG versions, larger ovens and dishwashers commonly require three-phase power, and warewashing needs water and drainage runs. Check the specifications on each product page and have your electrician and gasfitter confirm the site — including exhaust canopy coverage over the cooking line — before anything is ordered.
Restaurant Equipment FAQs
What equipment does a restaurant kitchen need?+
The core checklist: a cooking line matched to the menu (range, oven, fryer, grill), refrigeration for storage and prep, stainless steel benches and sinks, a commercial dishwasher, and holding equipment at the pass. From there the menu adds specialist restaurant appliances — a pizza oven, a wok line, a combi steamer. Write the menu first and let it set the list; every unit should map to dishes you actually serve.
How much does it cost to fit out a restaurant kitchen?+
It depends on covers, menu and how much of the site's services — gas, power, exhaust — already exist. The cookline and refrigeration usually take the largest share of the budget. Price your station list from the ranges above rather than working to a generic package, and keep the trade work (gas, electrical, plumbing) in the same budget as the equipment.
What dishwasher does a restaurant need?+
Smaller restaurants typically run an underbench commercial dishwasher handling glass and plate racks in one unit; busier dining rooms step up to a pass-through machine with inlet and outlet benches so racks flow through service. Spec by racks per hour against peak covers, and confirm water, drainage and power requirements on the product page before committing.
What oven should a restaurant buy?+
A convection oven covers roasting and baking for most menus; combi steam ovens add steam modes for volume cooking and yield control; pizza and deck ovens serve dough-led menus. Choose by menu first, then by capacity per service — and let the site's gas and electrical supply decide between gas and electric models.
Can I finance restaurant equipment instead of paying upfront?+
Yes — SilverChef Rent-Try-Buy is available on eligible equipment, with eligibility shown on each product page. Weekly payments keep working capital in the business through the opening months, when a restaurant needs it most. Call 1300 111 901 to talk the options through against your fit-out list.
Is second-hand restaurant equipment a good idea?+
It saves on the invoice, but used compressors and burners arrive with unknown hours and usually no warranty — and those are the failures that stop trade. Everything for sale in this range is new commercial-grade equipment with manufacturer warranty; see our warranty and service information for cover details.
What power supply does restaurant equipment need?+
Benchtop appliances mostly run on standard 10-amp circuits, while larger ovens, fryers and dishwashers often require three-phase power, and gas equipment comes in natural gas and LPG versions. Every product page lists the model's exact requirements — have your electrician and gasfitter confirm the site's supply before ordering, not after.
Do you deliver restaurant equipment across Australia?+
Yes — order online and Commercial Kitchen Store delivers Australia-wide, from Sydney suburbs like Bankstown and the northern beaches through to regional sites, as an Australian commercial kitchen equipment supplier to the hospitality industry. Benchtop units ship on standard freight and large equipment on palletised delivery, with free pickup from our Granville showroom in Sydney also available. Our Australian-based team is on 1300 111 901 to help build a complete fit-out list.
Commercial kitchen equipment finance and pricing
A full kitchen is a heavy capital outlay at exactly the point the business hasn't opened its doors, which is why many operators finance the fit-out rather than buy outright. SilverChef Rent-Try-Buy is available on eligible equipment — eligibility shows on each product page — letting a new venue open on weekly payments and keep cash for stock and staff. The range spans reliable workhorse brands through to top-end European kit at competitive prices, so you can put the spend into the high-quality commercial kitchen equipment the menu is judged on and save on the back-of-house support pieces.
