The main difference between the two types of kitchen is the level of equipment and space they have. Commercial kitchens are typically equipped with larger cooking equipment than domestic kitchens, making it easier for multiple people to work in them at the same time.

Commercial kitchens power restaurants, delivery services, and catering companies the world over. They're designed to facilitate the quick (and delicious) production of food for sale to hungry customers. Rather than pay concern to aesthetics, commercial kitchens focus on making meal preparation and delivery easier.

There are five commonly used in most commercial kitchens: assembly line, island, zone-style, galley and open kitchen. Each one has unique benefits depending on the style of restaurant you want to open, the type of food you are cooking and the amount of space your building allows for kitchen space.

If you require a microwave in your kitchen, you need to make sure you have a commercial standard one, as domestic microwaves are not durable or powerful enough to cope with use in a busy commercial kitchen.
