Food service equipment includes the range of appliances, tools, and machines used by restaurants, hotels, cafeterias, cloud kitchens, and catering services—for cooking, food prep, refrigeration, warewashing, storage, and serving. Current trends emphasize smart, multi-functional appliances, hygiene and energy efficiency, compact solutions for small or delivery-focused kitchens, and automation to reduce labor and improve consistency. Regulatory pressure around safety and food handling is also pushing demand for easy-clean surfaces, touch-free interfaces, and advanced monitoring features.
