Now that fall is finally here, there are so many great things to look forward to, from festivals to football games. Aside from the main attractions, one of the things that people look forward to most at their favorite fall events is the food. If you’re the owner of a concession stand, it’s important to ensure that your equipment is up to date and can handle the demand of all of your hungry customers.

Refrigeration
Regardless of what type of food you plan to serve at your concession stand, there is a good chance that you will need some type of refrigeration system. If you are serving some type of meat, then refrigeration is a no-brainer, as you want to keep the meat as fresh as possible prior to cooking. However, if you are not selling any kind of meat, then you may want to have refrigeration for beverages. While the cooler weather may warrant more sales for hot beverages like cocoa and cider, there are still customers who are drawn to a cold soda to go with their meal.
Griddle
If you plan on serving food at your concession stand, then a griddle should be the first thing on your list! Most concession stands are limited on space, and if you’re trying to plan a menu around one commercial kitchen appliance, then a griddle is a safe bet. With a griddle, you will be able to provide your customers with burgers, grilled cheese, hash browns, quesadillas, and so many more food options. With a griddle, you can even mix up the different types of foods that you make so that you can offer your customers something new and exciting! For example, one day you may choose to make typical American food that everyone knows and loves, and on another night, you can mix it up and serve Mexican or even Mediterranean.
Fryer
Fried food is a staple part of American culture. Whether your concession stand is at a sporting event, carnival, corn maze, or another outdoor festival, there’s a good chance that you will have people lining up to fill their stomachs with greasy fried food.
That being said, in order to supply your customers with the comfort food they crave most, you will need to make room in your booth or stand for a frier. At Taylor Freezer of Michigan, we offer the Broaster Presser Frier, which will allow you to fry up classic festival favorites in minutes while also using less oil. Not only will you save money by using less oil, but you will also be able to serve more customers — it’s a win-win!
Various Drink Machines
Not all concession stands are designed to sell food, and if you sell beverages of any kind, then you will need entirely different equipment. Drinks like canned soda and bottled water will need only refrigeration to keep them cool. However, more complex beverages like smoothies, slushies, or even coffee, will need specialized equipment, and you will have to account for that in your space, especially if you want to sell more than one type of beverage.
