When it comes to equipping your restaurant kitchen, choosing the right commercial oven is a decision that can impact everything from food quality to energy efficiency and staff workflow. At Marchef, we understand that no two restaurants are alike. Whether you run a cozy bakery or a high-volume steakhouse, your oven should align perfectly with your restaurant’s positioning and menu demands.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you make the right choice.
1. Understand Your Restaurant’s Concept
Is your restaurant fast-casual, fine dining, or a bakery café? Your positioning defines your cooking volume, menu variety, and cooking methods:
- Pizzerias may need high-heat ovens that retain consistent temperatures.
- Steakhouses demand ovens that sear quickly and evenly.
- Bakeries require steady, uniform heating for delicate pastries.
💡 Tip from Marchef: Identify your signature dishes first—your oven should support those flawlessly.
2. Choose the Right Type of Oven
Each oven serves different culinary needs. Below are some common commercial ovens and how they fit specific business types:
| Oven Type | Best For | Marchef Models |
|---|---|---|
| Convection Oven | Baking, roasting, even heat distribution | CO-80M |
| Deck Oven | Artisan bread, pizzas | EP-E9 |
| Combi Oven | Steam + convection, versatile menus | CK10C |
Make sure the oven type fits the scale and style of your menu.
3. Size, Capacity & Space Planning
A common mistake is buying an oven that’s either too large or too small. Consider:
- Daily volume: How many covers do you serve per day?
- Kitchen space: Will the oven fit your layout?
- Staff workflow: Is it easy to access and operate?
Marchef’s ovens come in various sizes to suit compact to large kitchens, with intuitive controls and ergonomic designs.
4. Energy Source & Efficiency
Commercial ovens are typically powered by either gas or electricity. Your decision should depend on:
- Local energy costs
- Available connections
- Speed and efficiency needs
Marchef offers both gas and electric models, such as the GO-202Q (gas) and EO-102D (electric), engineered for low energy consumption and high output.
5. Reliability, Maintenance & Support
Look for:
- Durability (stainless steel body, heavy-duty components)
- Ease of cleaning
- After-sales service & spare parts availability
At Marchef, we offer a 12-month warranty, dedicated service support, and easy-to-replace parts across our commercial kitchen product range.
