If you're managing or owning a hotel, you already know how critical it is that your kitchen runs like clockwork, especially because food and beverage service plays a key role in guest satisfaction. Whether you're expanding to serve more guests, updating your restaurant offering, or replacing worn-out equipment, investing in the right commercial cooking equipment is a decision that impacts both service quality and operational efficiency.
Lincat is one of the most trusted names in professional catering equipment, and for good reason. Here’s what hotel managers and owners need to know when considering Lincat for their commercial kitchen setup.
Why Lincat Equipment Works So Well In Professional Kitchens
Lincat manufactures a broad range of catering equipment used in professional kitchens across the UK and globally. Their appliances are built to handle the pressure of high-output food service environments, with reliability and energy efficiency at the core of every design.
Whether you run a boutique hotel with a seasonal à la carte menu or a larger operation with all-day dining and events, Lincat kitchen equipment offers the flexibility to match your specific needs.
Features Of Lincat Kitchen Equipment
Lincat’s ranges include everything from the essentials to more specialised solutions:
- Ovens, ranges, griddles, fryers and induction hobs
- Combi ovens, convection ovens and salamander grills
- Pizza ovens, pasta cookers and hot holding units
Across the board, Lincat commercial kitchen equipment is engineered for energy efficiency, helping you keep operational costs under control, something increasingly important as utility prices fluctuate. The build quality is also robust, giving you peace of mind that the equipment will perform consistently in busy kitchens.
How To Choose The Right Lincat Equipment For Your Hotel
When it comes to specifying commercial catering equipment, the right choice depends on your kitchen layout, menu style and service volume.
For example:
- A Lincat Opus 800 range cooker, such as the OG8002, is ideal for high-capacity hotels with full restaurant menus.
- Lincat induction hobs offer faster heating and lower energy consumption, perfect for open kitchens or smaller teams.
Budget is another important factor. While upfront cost is always a consideration, long-term savings often come through energy efficiency, durability and lower maintenance needs. Lincat catering equipment tends to strike a strong balance, especially for hoteliers focused on operational reliability.
Our Recommendation: Lincat Opus And Silverlink
If you're looking for proven performance, we recommend:
- Lincat Opus 800 Series: Designed for heavy-duty, high-output kitchens with excellent temperature recovery and intuitive controls. The OG81 and OE81 range of fryers are available with and without filtration, saving money in the long run. The OG8002 is a great heavy-duty value-for-money range in natural gas; the OE8206 and OG8202 are reliable and popular griddles
- Lincat Silverlink 600 Series: A solid option for medium-volume kitchens, with modular units to help you build the setup you need. Consider the SLR9C (ESLR9C electric version), one of Lincat's most popular ranges. The SLI42 for a great 4-zone induction hob, or the J12 and J18 for excellent electric fryers.
Each offers outstanding build quality, backed by Lincat’s reputation for support and parts availability across the UK.
Ongoing Maintenance And Support
Downtime in a hotel kitchen can be costly, which is why proper maintenance is essential. Lincat’s focus on reliability and ease of servicing makes their equipment a safer bet than lesser-known brands. With regular service and cleaning, Lincat appliances often outlast their warranty periods.
