When choosing the appliances for your restaurant kitchen, it is important to not just chose the right appliance for you and your environment. When equipment is energy efficient, it can have many benefits. Firstly, there are environmental benefits. Here, sustainable technology can reduce water use and harmful gas emissions pollutants. But there are also economic benefits. Improvements include reduced utility costs, job growth, and reduced-price fluctuation.
Here is a list of the top 5 brands you can choose your restaurant equipment from when choosing energy efficiency.
True Refrigeration Systems
Refrigeration is one of the most crucial components of your restaurant’s kitchen. Energy-efficient commercial refrigeration benefits both the environment and your company. True Refrigeration offers a range of uses in the kitchen. A selection of True items can include the following:
- Upright Cabinets
- Under counters
- Worktops
Restaurant owners must not only consider the equipment’s initial cost. They must be aware of and consider the ongoing operational costs when making a purchase choice. This includes an expense to the environment.
True suggests that it is frequently the case that less expensive equipment is less energy. Operating costs can add up to several times the purchase price. You can only decide with complete knowledge if you know how much energy is used, which is why True provides energy calculators with every product they offer to check its carbon footprint. The Energy-Star-rated items from True are created to lower your company’s carbon footprint and bring energy savings from their warehouse to your kitchen.
Installing True refrigerated equipment in your restaurant can decrease overall kitchen steps, speed up tasks, merge many pieces of equipment into one, and cut energy consumption. Contact your supplier immediately if you’re curious about how a piece of True equipment can fit into your kitchen.
Vulcan
Vulcan has been an Energy-Star partner for 13 years. It aims to achieve the highest level of cooking performance and energy efficiency. Dependability and durability are other promises. A restaurant owner can gain their support in creating a sustainable, effective, and environmentally responsible organization.
Vulcan convection ovens provide great results and lasting value. They have various adaptable features and settings suitable for every professional cuisine need. With their energy-efficient heat recovery system, you can save running costs and reduce your carbon footprint.
Vulcan’s high-efficiency fryers are great for making gourmet meals. They are also efficient in conserving oil and cutting down on electricity expenses. They are available in two, three, and four-battery setups.
Maytag Appliances
A general dishwasher can take around 27 gallons of water. Maytag Dishwashers use only 4-6 gallons of water to do the same job. Will you take up your social responsibility? This way, you are literally and metaphorically taking more off your plate.
Maytag Dishwashers are designed to be as energy efficient as possible. They include dirt sensors that determine how unclean your plates are and automatically modify water and cycle settings appropriately. Hence, saving you water, money, and energy.
Maytag’s Leak Detect system also checks and monitors water flow at various locations. Its Steam Sanitize option eliminates almost 100% of bacteria as well.
KitchenAid Appliances
Gas stoves can be far more cost-effective than electric ones. But is it worth the saving if only 40% of that fuel is directed to cooking your food? Now compare this to the 74% that an electric stove generates. Here come KitchenAid Appliances.
KitchenAid is rooting for electrified models. The KitchenAid 30.81″ Stainless Steel Electric Cooktop has specialized elements for each task. A flexible double-ring element for quick boiling and searing. A setting specifically for melting and a circular element that effectively heats a range of pan sizes for everyday use.
LG
When it comes to electrical equipment, LG is a well-known brand, now let’s talk about their energy-efficient kitchen appliances. LG pursues sustainability by aiming for a better planet, better eco products, and better access.
Each year they increase their Energy Star certifications, especially because of their recycling program. Let’s say you want to update your restaurant with newer equipment. LG will dispose of your older ones for you/ consumers who want to replace their older appliances with newer ones.
This LG washer chooses its ideal water levels, movements, and temperatures, like Maytag dishwashers. No guessing game for you. There may be reduced water and energy waste because of this.
Our Final Thoughts
Restaurant owners should consider minimizing their energy use for various reasons, including the obvious financial and environmental advantages mentioned above. There are also potential improvements to image and customer satisfaction. Customers would not only look for ambiance and setting but how socially responsible a restaurant seems to be as well.
