Experience sharing - open a barbecue restaurant

2021-05-28

CENHOT participates in hundreds of barbecue restaurant projects every year. Our team will provide consultation and assistance to different customers from all angles of engineering, equipment, decoration, and dishes.
In this article, I will share with you some experience in the process of preparing a rotisserie from an engineering perspective.

The project here refers to the hardware requirements of the barbecue restaurant (area, back kitchen, smoke exhaust method, smoke exhaust, water, electricity and gas, surrounding environment, etc.). As for , We won't mention it here, well, maybe I will mention the business district, traffic, rent, etc. in this article.

However, one thing more important than all questions is that you must ask the property or landlord, or related departments, whether charcoal grilled is allowed in this place? And the gas grilled? Or only the use of electric barbecue?

The root of the problem comes from an extension of the air pollution prevention and control regulations currently being implemented-- the use of charcoal fire will aggravate pollution. Therefore, the use of charcoal grilled is prohibited in some areas. This must be determined in advance.
In addition, open-fire barbecues (whether gas or charcoal) are prohibited in some commercial complexes (take Wanda as an example).

As for the detailed introduction of charcoal barbecue, gas barbecue and electric barbecue, we will give a detailed introduction in the barbecue technology section.


Back kitchen: Generally speaking, a barbecue restaurant has the following major functional areas: cold dish room, meat processing room, main stove room, rough processing, and washing room.

Cold dish room: where cold dishes are mixed
Meat processing room: processed meat, meat cutting and production
Main stove: fried food, stir-fry, soup, staple food
Roughing: roughly clean the raw materials
Dish-washing room: the place to wash the dishes

There are three existing exhaust methods, namely upper exhaust, lower exhaust and self-circulation.

1.Upper smoke exhaust:

As the name suggests, it is a pipe hanging above it. The main smoke exhaust duct is arranged under the ceiling. The advantage is that the construction speed is fast, the amount of civil construction is small, and the requirement for the exhaust air volume is not high. The disadvantage is that it is easy to cause the smell of barbecue to escape, and customers will feel the smell of barbecue after eating. The noise control of the pipe also needs special attention. In addition, the upper smoke pipe is easy to make it unsightly.

2. Lower smoke exhaust:

First of all, choose a lower smoke grill for lower smoke exhaust, or install an elbow on the upper smoke grill to solve the problem. The pipes are generally trenched on the ground, or the whole floor is raised (generally 250mm~300mm). Lower smoke is the best solution for the barbecue restaurant at this stage. All the oil fume is sucked by the pipes, and there is no peculiar smell and noise on the customers. The level is controllable. The disadvantage is that the amount of civil engineering works is increased compared to the upper smoke exhaust. In addition, the structure of the lower smoke grill is relatively complicated and the price is slightly higher.

3.Self-circulation:

As the name implies, the purification of oil fume is done inside the barbecue, and the purified air is directly discharged to the hall, or circulates in the furnace until the fan is powered off. This is a good recommended form of smoke extraction, because the existing technology can solve the absolute purification of oil smoke in a small space.


Smoke & Electricity & Gas
These are three hard indicators, if any one of them does not meet the requirements, it will be more troublesome.
Smoke exhaust volume: If it is the upper exhaust smoke, it can be reported to the property at 150~200 cubic meters per oven per hour. If it is a lower exhaust smoke, it must be reported to the property at a rate of 350 to 400 cubic meters per hour. At the same time, the fresh air volume needs to be planned according to the situation on site.
Electricity: If you use charcoal grilling, take a 200-square-meter rotisserie as a reference object, the back kitchen equipment is 30KW (if there is no gas, it is better to declare as 60KW), and 30KW reserved in the front hall is enough. If it is a gas grill, then each stove needs 1.5 to 2 cubic meters of gas consumption per hour. If it is an electric grill, each stove needs 2KW~3KW of electricity.
Gas consumption: With a 200 square meter rotisserie franchise store, the gas consumption of 25 cubic meters per hour in the back kitchen is enough. If there are more hot dishes, corresponding measures for capacity increase are required.
