1). Operations and layout design
As an operator, you have to first figure out the workflow in your kitchen. When we talk about workflow, then it would include the various steps of production like preparation, various cooking processes, and serving. When you figure out the work process, then you can plan on the layout to ensure that this process is smooth by keeping the workstations of your staff closer.

This will help you to figure out the various commercial equipment you need for your work.
2). Getting the right kitchen equipment
Once you have identified your work process and figured out the layout of your kitchen and the types of food you wish to serve, then the next step is to buy the right commercial kitchen equipment in Faridabad that would not only fit in the space you have but also within your budget. For example, while there are bigger refrigerators, dishwashers, display counters available in the market, you must choose ones that fit in the physical space that you have got.
Optimising the space
You must optimize your limited space by thinking creatively about how to use every inch of it. You can stack your equipment(s) like the food preparation equipment, and cooking equipment which is smaller in size either vertically or horizontally. You can use full-height shelves, hooks on your wall, or store containers placed underneath your countertops to store equipment as well as food materials. If it is a start-up and you don’t have much experience in figuring out the best commercial kitchen equipment that you can buy for your kitchen which has limited space, then you must consult with an expert.
Most commercial kitchen manufacturers offer consultancy services that can help you in choosing the best equipment that is not only suited for your work floor but also fits perfectly with your available space and is also within your budget.
