A gas rotisserie is the perfect addition to an expanding restaurant. Your patrons will be thrilled that you are offering grilled meats as these are classic meals when people go out to eat. You can grill chicken, turkey, pork, and other types of meat. You can also put vegetables in the tray below that collects the meat juices. These will taste tender, moist, and delicious thanks to the infused flavors. When choosing a gas rotisserie, be sure to consider the following factors:
Fuel Source
The fuel will largely determine the cost of operations. Check out the current prices of the different type so fuel used by this kind of cooking equipment. Most will either need natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas. Their prices fluctuate over time so you might want to check the historical charts as well for your region if available. You should also think about how you plan to position the rotisserie and whether the gas type is suitable for the place. If you are already using natural gas to power your stoves, then it makes sense to use the same for other cookers.
Capacity
Think about the expected number of orders in your restaurant once everything goes into full swing. You should not keep your customers waiting so having several chicken in the spits at all times is a must. After all, it can take a while for these to be ready. If you have a small restaurant and grilled meats are not your main draw, then a small unit with two spits may be enough. If you have a bigger restaurant that plans to make this a feature, then go for a bigger capacity. Look for models with 5 spits or more with each level capable of holding 4 whole chicken or so.
Dimensions
Consider the placement of the unit. Where do you plan to put in given the existing floor layout. It would be nice if it could face the customers as they would be more likely to buy when they see and smell the roasted fare. Of course, there should be enough room for it. Write down the dimensions and start measuring so you won’t have to stress about ill-fitting units later.
Cleaning
You will need to clean the interiors and exteriors regularly to keep things sanitary and presentable. Look for a unit that you can easily reach into. It should also have easily removable parts such as the juice tray and the spits. Some even have rollers underneath so you can move it around when you want to clean the surface under it.
Choose your gas rotisserie well to enjoy great results.
