Large-scale production kitchens

A production kitchen is a professional kitchen that is designed and equipped for the preparation of large quantities of food. Professional equipment and methods are used, which enables the quick and efficient preparation of large quantities of food. 

There are many ways to make good food. The choice of production methods always depends on the kitchen and its customers. When choosing a production method, the goal is to make the kitchen work as smoothly as possible and to use the available equipment efficiently. We develop better processes for production kitchens, whether the chosen preparation method is cook-serve, cook-chill, hot fill, cold preparation or sous-vide. Most of the time, several production methods are combined, instead of purely focusing on one method. With the help of our process expertise, you will learn the special features of different production methods and make the most of different production methods.

A production kitchen may prepare up to thousands of meals a day for both its own location and distribution kitchens. For these needs, we provide functional kitchen solutions, that can be pre-planned to match your chosen production method. Thanks to our long-term experience, we can design solutions that are flexible and expandable as your operation grows.

As the utilization rate of a kitchen increases, versatility, efficiency, operational reliability, low operating costs, quality and ease of use become the most important criteria for equipment selection. In our selection, we have the best equipment on the market that meet these requirements. Many of these production concepts are built around kettles and combi ovens.
