Solutions by space · Cooking & Holding
The cookline, end to end.
Ranges, fryers, combis and steam — then the ventilation above them, the filtration that protects it, and the thermometers and tools that keep the line honest. Zink represents every layer, so the cookline gets planned as one system instead of a pile of spec sheets.

The Cookline · Plan it right
Numbers first, spec sheets second.
RUN THE NUMBERS

What size fryer you need: the published output-equals-1.5–2× oil-capacity rule, from peak-hour pounds to vat size and battery counts.
RUN THE NUMBERS
Kettle sizer
What kettle capacity a central kitchen needs: Cleveland's published reference systems from 500 to 30,000 meals per day, with the ice-builder formula.
RUN THE NUMBERS
Hood-filter ROI
Compare your current hood-cleaning costs against a high-capture filter program quote — your own numbers in, the annual difference out.
PLANNING GUIDE
The kitchen ventilation guide
Hoods, make-up air, grease filtration and ventless options in plain language — and who coordinates the whole system from design through startup.

Any of our eight culinary centers — they hold key items rather than every model, and we ship between centers, so tell us what you want to see and we'll have it at the center nearest you. If it cooks, bring your menu and a chef will run it with you. There is no charge.
