Project Summary

The Client approached Phoeniks with a clear vision to create a fully electric, open-concept kitchen that combined efficiency, reliability and visual appeal. Their main challenge was finding equipment that could deliver high-performance while also meeting strict energy efficiency requirements and blending seamlessly into modern, front-of-house design. 

In addition, the venue needed durable equipment capable of withstanding the demands of a busy service, while offering precise control to maintain consistent food quality. Traditional cooking system posed problems with excess energy use, limited flexibility and bulky designs that did not suit the open-kitchen layout.

Working closely with the kitchen consultant, Phoeniks assessed these challenges and provided a tailored equipment package that solved each pain point:

• MKN Optima 850 Induction - delivering fast, energy-efficient cooking with reduced heat emissions, perfectly suited for front-of-house.
• MKN Optima 850 Pasta Cooker - ensuring consistent, reliable preparation of pasta dishes during peak periods.
• MKN Optima 850 London 2 Deep Fat Fryer - designed for high output with uniform frying results and ease of cleaning.
• MKN SpaceCombi MagicPilot Built-in - compact yet powerful, optimising space without compromising performance.
• Salvis Salamander - versatile finishing and grilling with quick heat-up times, ideal for an open kitchen.

By selecting and installing this carefully matched line-up, Phoeniks not only helped the client achieve their operational goals but also delivered a sleek, professional open-kitchen environment that enhanced the dining experience. This ensured the client could run a high-performing, fully electric kitchen that was both sustainable and visually impressive.
