Which Greggs-Style Kitchen Equipment Do You Need?
Find the Right Commercial Kitchen Setup for Your Business
Thinking about opening a bakery, café, or food-to-go kiosk and not sure where to start with equipment? This quiz cuts through the guesswork. Answer six quick questions about your outlet type, expected footfall, menu focus and budget, and we’ll match you to a Greggs-style kitchen equipment package that’s actually built for your situation — not a generic one-size-fits-all list.
Commercial kitchen equipment is one of the biggest and most confusing costs when you’re planning a bakery or food-to-go business in the UK. Get it wrong and you either overspend on kit you don’t need, or under-spec your kitchen and hit a ceiling within months. This tool draws on the same research behind our commercial kitchen equipment guide, covering everything from compact combi ovens and grab-and-go display cabinets through to industrial dough plants and tunnel ovens.
What kind of setup could you get recommended?
Depending on your answers, the quiz points you toward one of eight equipment packages, each with real-world UK price ranges:
- Kiosk Starter Pack — for a small counter unit or kiosk (£20,000–£35,000)
- Grab & Go Franchise Pack — for a takeaway-only, food-to-go shop (£13,000–£22,000)
- Full Retail Bakery Setup — for a sit-in café running a bake-off model (£55,000–£90,000)
- Scratch Bakery Café Setup — for a café baking from scratch on-site (£45,000–£75,000)
- High-Volume Hot Drinks Hub — for coffee-led shops with heavy daily footfall (£17,000–£27,000)
- Premium Smart Kitchen — for fully connected, IoT-monitored equipment (£100,000–£180,000)

Every recommendation links straight through to the relevant section of our commercial kitchen equipment guide, so you can check the exact make and model — ovens, chillers, coffee machines, POS systems and more — before you go shopping. If you’d rather build your own list item-by-item instead of answering questions, our bakery equipment budget planner lets you pick individual categories and see a live running total.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Greggs-style kitchen equipment cost?
It depends entirely on your outlet size. A small kiosk or counter unit typically needs £20,000–£35,000 of equipment, a full retail bakery or café setup runs £55,000–£90,000, and a fully connected, smart-monitored kitchen can reach £100,000–£180,000 or more. Take the quiz above for a personalised estimate based on your own outlet type, footfall and budget.
What kitchen equipment do I need for a small food-to-go kiosk?
A small kiosk or counter unit generally needs a compact combi oven, a grab-and-go display cabinet, a coffee machine, a basic POS system, a water boiler and a panini grill. Most kiosks can be fully equipped for around £20,000–£35,000, depending on the supplier and specification you choose.
Do I need different equipment if I bake from scratch instead of using a bake-off model?
Yes. A scratch bakery needs a full dough production line, including a spiral mixer, deck oven and prover, on top of standard front-of-house equipment. A bake-off model, which is how most retail bakery shops operate, only needs a bake-off oven and heated display units, since the dough itself is produced off-site at a central bakery.
