From multifunctional equipment to automation systems, this revolution will be at the forefront at Guext.

Multifunctional equipment for maximum efficiency

Multifunctional machinery is a direct response to achieving greater efficiency in kitchens, through solutions that combine several functions in a single piece of equipment. Convection ovens that also function as steamers and grills or combined griddles are just a few examples that maximize performance without sacrificing quality.

Workflow optimization is essential to improve productivity. In this way, the equipment not only saves space, but also improves operational efficiency by reducing waiting times and the number of devices in the kitchen.  With compact and versatile machinery, modern kitchens can better adapt to the exacting demands of the industry.

Accuracy and consistency in food preparation through automation
 

In this line, automation is presented as another of the great technological revolutions in kitchen machinery. The ability to automate repetitive and demanding tasks not only reduces staff workload, but also ensures consistency in food preparation that is difficult to achieve manually. Kitchen robots, automated scales and smart ovens are technology options that allow chefs to concentrate on more creative tasks, while machines take care of other details.

Thus, thanks to automated systems, greater precision is achieved, ensuring that each dish follows the recipe effectively. In addition, this technology significantly reduces food waste by ensuring that ingredients are accurately dosed. The market already has ovens that automatically adjust temperature and humidity or robots that are benchmarks in kitchen automation, undoubtedly a living reflection of the state-of-the-art in the hotel and catering industry.

Ergonomic design and space optimization in industrial kitchens
 

Another key aspect of equipment efficiency is space optimization and ergonomic kitchen design. In industrial environments, space design and equipment layout directly impact operational efficiency. A well-organized kitchen allows personnel to move easily between stations, which improves workflow and avoids congestion. In addition, smart design also takes personnel safety into account, with equipment strategically placed for ease of use. The use of vertical space, for example, is a growing trend in kitchens with space constraints.

In short, efficient kitchen equipment is fundamental to success in the hospitality sector, especially in environments where space optimization and time reduction are crucial. Multifunctional innovations, automation and ergonomic design are transforming modern kitchens, enabling professionals in the sector to offer faster, more consistent and higher quality service.

Guext, organized by IFEMA MARID together with FELAC (Federación Española de Asociaciones de Fabricantes de Maquinaria para Hostelería, Colectividades e Industrias Afines). will be an ideal showcase to discover these solutions and understand their impact on the hospitality industry.
