How many burners does a restaurant need?

Count how many pots and pans are on the heat at once during your busiest hour, then leave room for growth. Many full-service kitchens run a six-burner range or larger, while a kitchen that relies on a fryer, griddle and oven may need fewer burners. The menu, not the seat count, is the better guide.

How is a commercial gas range delivered?

Ranges ship by freight carrier, and a liftgate, a delivery appointment or inside delivery needs to be arranged with Norpex before paying. Inspect the range before signing, note any damage on the delivery receipt and call Norpex the same day.

Can a gas range be installed on casters?

Many commercial ranges accept casters so staff can pull them out to clean. The manufacturer's installation manual typically calls for a flexible gas connector with a quick-disconnect and a restraining device, so the range cannot strain the gas line when it moves. A licensed gas fitter makes the connection.

Commercial Gas Ranges in Canada

A gas range anchors many restaurant lines: open burners on top, usually with an oven or storage cabinet below. Commercial ranges are sold by width, commonly 24 to 60 inches with wider models available, and can pair burners with a griddle, charbroiler or hot top section. Full-service restaurants, institutional kitchens and caterers buy them for searing, boiling, simmering and oven work in one footprint.

About commercial gas ranges

Before you buy

Count the burners you use at the same time during your busiest service, then choose the width, since a standard 36-inch range typically carries six open burners.
Choose the base to match how you work: a standard oven for baking and roasting, a convection oven for more even results across racks, or a storage base if ovens are elsewhere on the line.
Confirm the gas type with your gas utility or propane supplier and note it on the order, since a range set up for natural gas will not run correctly on propane without conversion.
Check the grate style, since cast-iron grates in removable sections lift out for cleaning, and a continuous grate surface lets heavy pans slide between burners without lifting.
