Here's the complete commercial kitchen equipment checklist by station, from prep to service, with direct links to every product category in the IPEC shop.","\u003Cp>Opening a restaurant in Lebanon is one of the most exciting — and expensive — ventures you can take on. Between Beirut's competitive dining scene, evolving customer expectations, and the operational realities of running a kitchen in the MENA region, getting your equipment list right from day one isn't optional. It's the difference between a kitchen that runs smoothly for a decade and one that hemorrhages money in repairs and replacements within the first two years.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>At IPEC, we've spent 45 years equipping kitchens across Lebanon and the region — from family-run mezze houses in Hamra to five-star hotel restaurants on the coast. This checklist is built from that experience, and every item links directly to real equipment you can browse and quote in our \u003Ca href=\"/shop\">online shop\u003C/a>. Use it as your starting point, then refine it based on your concept, menu, and space.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Ch2>Before You Buy: Plan Your Kitchen by Station\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>The single biggest mistake new restaurateurs make is shopping equipment by category instead of by \u003Cstrong>workflow\u003C/strong>. A commercial kitchen isn't a list of appliances — it's a series of stations that need to feed into each other efficiently during a 200-cover dinner service.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Before you draw up an equipment list, finalize your menu. Your menu drives your equipment, not the other way around. A grill-forward concept needs different gear than a pasta bar or a shawarma counter. Once your menu is locked, group dishes by cooking method and you'll see your stations emerge naturally: prep, cold line, hot line, pastry, dish pit, and storage.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>You should also factor in Lebanese realities: voltage stability, water quality, and the need for equipment that holds up to long hours and frequent power cycling. \u003Cstrong>CE-marked European equipment\u003C/strong> is the standard we recommend for serious operators — it's built for HACCP compliance and performs reliably in real-world conditions. If you'd like help designing the layout before you buy, our \u003Ca href=\"/commercial-kitchen-design\">commercial kitchen design\u003C/a> service is free with any equipment purchase.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>If you're opening your first food business and want a curated starting point, browse our \u003Ca href=\"/shop/collections/new-kitchen-starter-pack\">New Kitchen Starter Pack\u003C/a> collection — it bundles the essentials for cooking, refrigeration, prep, and warewashing in one package. Or for a full restaurant setup, see the \u003Ca href=\"/shop/collections/restaurant-kitchen-setup\">Restaurant Kitchen Setup\u003C/a> collection with equipment from TKF, Ambassade de Bourgogne, and STIL covering every station.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Ch2>Station 1: Cold Storage and Refrigeration\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Before a single ingredient hits a cutting board, it needs to be stored properly. Refrigeration is where you protect your food cost and your food safety simultaneously, so don't cut corners here.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>For most full-service restaurants, you'll need:\u003C/p>\n\u003Cul>\n  \u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>A walk-in cold room\u003C/strong> for bulk storage of produce, dairy, and prepped items (typically 6–12 m² depending on volume)\u003C/li>\n  \u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>A walk-in freezer\u003C/strong> for proteins and frozen goods\u003C/li>\n  \u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Upright reach-in refrigerators\u003C/strong> on the line for service-ready items — browse our \u003Ca href=\"/shop/categories/refrigeration-equipment\">full refrigeration category\u003C/a> for upright models, chest freezers, and bar coolers\u003C/li>\n  \u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Undercounter refrigerators and cold preparation tables\u003C/strong> at each station to keep mise en place at hand\u003C/li>\n  \u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>A blast chiller\u003C/strong> if you're doing volume prep, batch cooking, or any sous vide work — this is non-negotiable for HACCP-compliant cooling\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\u003Cp>All our refrigeration units feature auto-restart after power cuts — essential in Lebanon where grid-to-generator switches happen multiple times daily. For TKF refrigeration equipment specifically, tropical-rated compressors handle ambient temperatures up to 43°C without issue.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cdiv style=\"margin:1.25rem 0 2rem;\">\n  \u003Cdiv

It can steam, roast, bake, grill, and regenerate, often replacing three or four single-function units while improving consistency. TKF gas convection ovens are our top recommendation — they offer programmable recipes and self-cleaning for the daily demands of restaurant production.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>How much should I budget for kitchen equipment in Lebanon?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>It varies by concept and size. A small café or coffee shop might need USD 10,000–20,000 (see our \u003Ca href=\"/shop/collections/coffee-shop-essentials\">Coffee Shop Essentials\u003C/a>), while a mid-sized full-service restaurant (60–100 covers) typically falls between USD 30,000 and USD 80,000 including refrigeration, cooking line, and smallwares. Large hotel kitchens and high-volume operations can reach USD 150,000–250,000. A \u003Ca href=\"/commercial-kitchen-design\">free consultation\u003C/a> with our team will give you an accurate number for your specific space and menu.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>Can I buy used commercial kitchen equipment?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>You can, but proceed with caution. Refrigeration and combi ovens, in particular, often have hidden wear that becomes expensive within months. If you do buy used, focus on simple, durable items like stainless steel tables and shelving (see our \u003Ca href=\"/shop/collections/stainless-steel-kitchen-build\">stainless steel collection\u003C/a>), and buy your cooking and refrigeration equipment new with warranty.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>How long does it take to fully equip a restaurant kitchen?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>From order to commissioning, plan on 2–6 weeks for most setups. Stock items ship within 3–5 business days from our Zouk Mosbeh warehouse. Custom or imported items may take 4–6 weeks. Starting the equipment conversation early — ideally as soon as your floor plan is drafted — is the single best thing you can do to avoid opening delays.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>Do your equipment work with generators during power outages?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>Yes. All our commercial equipment runs on standard 220V/380V and is compatible with generator power. We recommend voltage stabilizers for sensitive electronics like combi ovens and blast chillers. Our team can calculate your total electrical load and help you plan generator capacity.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>Do you deliver and install outside Beirut?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>We deliver and install across all of Lebanon — Tripoli, Sidon, Zahle, Batroun, Jounieh, and every region in between. Large equipment like cold rooms includes professional installation with electrical connections, drainage, and commissioning. Delivery time is typically 3–7 business days depending on your location.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Ch2>Ready to Build Your Kitchen?\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Every restaurant is different, and a checklist is only the starting point. The real value comes from sitting down with someone who has equipped hundreds of kitchens like yours and can tell you what will actually work for your concept, your space, and your budget.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>That's what we do at IPEC.
