The right combi oven should be chosen based on your kitchen’s capacity, menu, workflow and available space. Also consider features such as automatic cleaning, cooking programmes, energy consumption, and access to service and spare parts. For larger kitchens, several ovens in different sizes may be a better solution than one large oven.
The equipment should be tailored to the café’s menu, capacity and concept. Typically, a café needs an espresso machine and coffee grinder, refrigeration equipment, a dishwasher, an oven or high-speed oven, food preparation equipment, and refrigerated or ambient display cases. Cafés with their own food or bakery production often require a more complete kitchen tailored to their operation.

Restaurant kitchen planning involves designing and organising the kitchen based on the concept, menu, capacity and workflows of the business. The aim is to create an efficient, ergonomic and reliable kitchen that meets both operational needs and applicable regulatory requirements.
Kitchen planning typically includes:
Commercial kitchen equipment is designed for professional use, high capacity and many hours of daily operation. Compared with standard kitchen appliances, it is generally more robust, faster and easier to clean and service. Professional equipment is also designed to meet the hygiene, safety and working environment requirements of restaurants and commercial kitchens.

It depends on the age and condition of the equipment, its energy consumption and the cost of the repair. Well-maintained, high-quality equipment can often be repaired and remain in use for many years, while recurring faults or high energy consumption may make replacement more cost-effective. Perfecta can also help assess your existing equipment and plan future investments.
Yes. For chains and businesses with multiple locations, a standardised equipment solution can simplify new openings, purchasing, training, servicing and spare parts management. At the same time, each kitchen can be adapted to the specific conditions of the premises, allowing the concept and workflow to remain consistent even when locations differ.
Winterhalter detergents are available in different formulations and can be used in most professional dishwashers. The right product is selected based on the type of dishwasher, water quality and the needs of the operation.
Professional dishwasher detergents are developed for high washing volumes and provide better cleaning performance, hygiene and operating efficiency than standard household products. The right product depends on the dishwasher, water quality and the type of items being washed.
The right commercial kitchen equipment for a restaurant or café chain should be selected based on the concept, menu, capacity and the ability to standardise the solution across multiple locations. The equipment should be reliable, energy-efficient, easy to use and support the same workflow in every location.
For chains, it is particularly important to choose equipment that can scale as the business expands, deliver consistent quality across all locations, and offer good access to service and spare parts. Perfecta Storkök helps restaurant and café chains with kitchen planning, equipment selection, installation and coordination of kitchen solutions throughout Sweden.
Warranties on professional kitchen equipment vary between manufacturers and products, but usually cover material and manufacturing defects for a specified period. To keep the warranty valid, the equipment often needs to be installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, and recommended maintenance and servicing must be carried out.
Many manufacturers also offer extended warranties under certain conditions, such as product registration or regular servicing. At Perfecta Storkök, we help you choose the right equipment, ensure correct installation and provide information about the warranty terms that apply to each product and manufacturer.

When choosing energy-efficient kitchen equipment, you should consider the total lifecycle cost – not just the purchase price. Modern equipment with low energy and water consumption can significantly reduce operating costs over time while contributing to a more sustainable operation.
When selecting equipment, it is important to consider factors such as energy consumption, capacity, heat recovery, water consumption and how well the equipment is suited to the needs of the operation. Properly sized equipment that is used correctly is often the most energy-efficient solution.
At Perfecta Storkök, we help our customers choose energy-efficient commercial kitchen equipment that combines high performance, low energy consumption and a long service life, contributing to both lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact.
It depends on the product range, production volume and how much food is prepared on site. Common equipment includes ovens and high-speed ovens, refrigerators and freezers, food preparation equipment, hot-holding equipment, refrigerated display cases and dishwashers. A well-planned retail kitchen should enable fast food preparation and service while making efficient use of space, staffing and workflows.

The first step is to assess the kitchen’s requirements, capacity and workflow.
Yes. Leasing can be a good option for restaurants and commercial kitchens that want to spread the investment over time and retain capital in the business. Perfecta offers leasing and financing through our finance partners, both for individual machines and larger equipment packages.
It mainly depends on how many coffee drinks need to be served during the busiest periods. For a smaller café, a two-group espresso machine may be perfectly sufficient, while high-volume cafés often need a three-group machine so that several baristas can work at the same time. Also consider the machine’s steam and hot water capacity – serving large numbers of cappuccinos and lattes places significantly higher demands on the machine than a menu focused mainly on espresso and black coffee.
Yes. Perfecta Storkök provides installation, adjustment and customisation of dosing equipment for professional restaurant dishwashers.
Reverse osmosis is a water purification system that removes minerals and impurities from the water before the final rinse. This produces spotless glasses, cutlery and crockery without the need for manual polishing. Read more in our dishwasher guide below:

Yes, but the dosing system should always be cleaned and checked when changing supplier. Otherwise, there is a risk of blocked hoses and incorrect dosing.
Choosing the right high-speed oven is about more than specifications and manufacturers’ product sheets. The differences between brands often only become clear when the ovens are used in real-world foodservice operations.
That is why we at Perfecta Storkök have tested and evaluated several of the market’s leading high-speed ovens in our customers’ kitchens.
