A döner shop stands or falls with the right equipment. If you're just starting out, invest in robust, professional appliances from day one – it saves you money and headaches in the long run. This checklist shows what you really need.
1. The döner machine (the centrepiece)
The döner machine grills the spit – gas-powered or electric, single or double row. Choose the size to match the demand you expect (3–7 burners, 40–120 kg).
2. The infrared radiant
The infrared radiant provides even, economical heat. It's key to a perfect cooking result and belongs on every döner machine.
3. The döner knife
For slicing you need a reliable döner knife – electric for a fixed location, or a cordless version for flexibility. A spare knife as a backup is well worth it.
4. Grill & other appliances
For köfte, meat and side dishes a commercial grill is recommended. Depending on your concept, lavash, toasting or grilling appliances round out the range.
5. Accessories & spare parts
Keep spare blades, adapters and protective parts on hand – this way you avoid breakdowns during peak hours. Read more in the guide Döner Knife Spare Parts.
