What Actually Lasts
- Versatility beats specialty: combi ovens, planchas, induction.
- Serviceability: common parts, accessible components, good manuals.
- Electrical readiness: plan for electrification and code shifts.
- Stainless where it matters: work tables, sinks, shelving that won’t sag.
- Ventilation: right hood type/sizing today avoids rework later.
Build for the menu you have—and the menu you’ll likely have in five years. Flexible lines survive trend cycles.
