Commercial Kitchen Fitout — Royal Shaza Suites
A complete stainless steel cooking line, extraction hood, and prep stations fabricated and installed for Royal Shaza Suites, fitting a full commercial menu into a space-constrained kitchen.
EMOST Techniques Ltd fabricated and installed a complete commercial kitchen fitout for Royal Shaza Suites, inside a compact kitchen footprint, combining a stainless steel cooking line, a full-width extraction hood, prep tables, a sink, and shelving into one coordinated system. The project is representative of the commercial kitchen equipment Kenya restaurants, hotels, and institutional kitchens need when the available floor space is limited but the cooking output requirement is not.

The challenge
A compact kitchen space still has to support a full commercial menu — open-flame cooking, griddle work, and frying, alongside prep and wash-up areas. Fitting standard off-the-shelf equipment into a limited footprint typically leaves wasted floor space, awkward gaps between units, and extraction coverage that doesn't match the actual cooking line layout. This client needed every piece, cooking line, hood, prep tables, and sink, designed and fabricated together as one system sized to the room, rather than assembled from separately purchased units.
How the kitchen was built
Requirements were established with the client: cooking line configuration, extraction coverage, and prep and wash-up needs within the available floor space.
The kitchen was laid out as one system: cooking line positioned along one wall, extraction hood sized to the full width of the line, and prep tables and sink along the perimeter to keep food prep and cooking zones separated.
Stainless steel sheet was cut and formed for the cooking line's work surfaces and base structure, the extraction hood's canopy and internal grease baffles, and the prep tables, sink basin, and shelving.
Open gas burners, a flat-top griddle section, and integrated fryer wells were fitted into the cooking line; the extraction hood was suspended above it and aligned to the kitchen's duct routing.
Surfaces finished to a smooth stainless steel standard suited to food-service environments and daily cleaning.
The completed cooking line, extraction system, and prep stations were installed and handed over as one working kitchen.

What was delivered
EMOST Techniques Ltd delivered a fully equipped commercial kitchen fitted entirely within a compact space. The cooking line, extraction hood, and prep stations were built as one coordinated system rather than separate purchased units, with every surface in stainless steel, finished for daily commercial use and easy cleaning.
Before hiring a fabricator in Kenya
- Registration. Confirm the fabricator is EBK-registered, particularly for equipment involving gas lines and structural welding.
- Material specification. Ask which stainless steel grade will be used for work surfaces versus structural components — they don't always need the same grade.
- On-site survey. A fabricator should assess your kitchen's actual space, gas supply, and layout before finalizing a design, rather than quoting from a generic spec sheet.
- Extraction coverage. Confirm the hood is sized to the full width of the cooking line, not just the footprint of a single burner section.
- Warranty and service terms. Ask what's covered if a burner, weld joint, or extraction component needs attention after installation.
Frequently asked questions
This project shows how EMOST Techniques Ltd approaches the commercial kitchen equipment Kenya restaurants and hotels rely on — as demonstrated at Royal Shaza Suites, where a cooking line, extraction hood, and prep stations were built as one system, sized to fit the space available rather than the other way around.
