Example fit-outs by sector

Cafes and coffee shops

Cafe and coffee-shop kitchens are built for speed in a compact footprint. A typical fit-out pairs a bean-to-cup or espresso machine setup with undercounter refrigeration, a compact hot counter or panini station, a bottle cooler for chilled drinks and glasswashing close to the barista, so staff move less and serve more. Because every piece is rented on one inclusive plan, the whole line stays covered by servicing and maintenance, and any unit can be swapped or upgraded as the menu and covers grow. See our sector page for cafes, coffee shops and delis.

Why rent your kitchen equipment?

Renting a full kitchen from Rental+ means no upfront capex, just a simple weekly direct debit, with servicing, call-outs, parts and Planned Preventive Maintenance included on every plan. Our fix-or-replace guarantee and nationwide network of engineers keep the whole line running, so you can open and trade with confidence. See how it works in Rental+ plans explained.
