Generally speaking, there are two reasons you might choose to build a commercial kitchen in your home. Firstly, if you are operating a food business which cooks, bakes or handles food to sell to others. Alternatively, if you regularly entertain large numbers of people or simply prefer the aesthetics and functionality of a commercial kitchen.
If you’re cooking, baking or handling food to sell to others, then your home-based commercial kitchen must meet the same food safety requirements as other food businesses. This includes implementing a food-safe design and fitout, obtaining a local council food licence, food safety inspections, meeting labelling requirements and having a certified food safety supervisor.

Typically, your commercial food preparation and cooking will need to be separate from household food preparation. To meet compliance needs, the design of your home-based commercial kitchen will need to include, but is not limited to:

If you entertain groups often or love the look, feel, durability and functionality of a commercial kitchen, perhaps you’ve considered replacing your domestic kitchen with a sleek commercial version. Just like this linear commercial kitchen we recently designed for a beautiful home on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
The question is, do you need commercial kitchen designs for a commercial-style kitchen in your home? This depends on your future plans for the kitchen or the property, your budget, the type of commercial equipment you’re considering and how much commercial kitchen detail you’re wanting to replicate.

Unlike kitchens that are designed for a commercial purpose, there can be greater flexibility in residential kitchens that are created for non-business use. Size considerations and aesthetics can be adjusted to suit the tastes and style of the home, as there is no need to comply with food safety regulations.
When it comes time to decide on finishes for your commercial kitchen, stainless steel is a no-brainer. Commercial kitchens typically use stainless steel as it is easily cleaned and sanitised. Some people go the whole way and opt for stainless steel benches to truly mimic a commercial kitchen environment, while others opt for alternatives, such as stone.
In addition to finishes, you’ll need to consider what equipment will suit your cooking style or entertaining needs. If you’re using your cooktop frequently or cooking at scale (in volume), you’ll need adequate ventilation to protect your roof and cabinets. Range hoods can also add visual appeal if aesthetics are one of your goals. Similarly, if you have a butler’s pantry or storage area, coldroom shelving solutions are perfect for maximising the storage capacity and emanating those commercial kitchen vibes. Foodservice consultants can give solid advice on what equipment best balances your needs, expectations and budget.
