It is important to ensure that the commercial equipment should be in keeping with the requirements of all the local codes. The local code may vary from one place to another and this is why it is important to know what is acceptable in your locality.
Last but not the least familiarize yourself with the utility outlets in your kitchen. You should have an idea regarding the gas and the power supply. It also depends upon the equipment that you are buying and you should have an idea of where each of the required utilities are located.
