      Frequently Asked Questions

      Everything you need to know about this collection.

      A char grill is a commercial cooking appliance that uses direct radiant heat to cook food while creating the distinctive charred appearance, caramelisation and grilled flavour associated with barbecue-style cooking. Unlike a flat griddle, a char grill uses raised grates that allow fats and juices to drip away from the food while exposing it to high heat.
      Commercial char grills are designed to cook a wide range of menu items, making them a versatile addition to restaurants, cafés, hotels, clubs and catering kitchens. They're commonly used for steaks, burgers, chicken, lamb, seafood, sausages and vegetables, while some operators also use them for grilled fruit and other speciality dishes. The open grilling surface helps create distinctive grill marks and allows excess fats to drain away during cooking, depending on the product being prepared. Choosing the right cooking surface size and heat output can help achieve consistent results across your menu. If your business serves a variety of grilled dishes, Cater Central can help you select a commercial char grill suited to your production requirements.
      The choice between a gas and electric commercial char grill largely depends on your kitchen's available services, cooking style and operational requirements. Gas char grills are popular in many commercial kitchens because they offer responsive heat adjustment and are well suited to continuous cooking during busy service. Electric char grills can be a practical solution where gas is unavailable or unsuitable, while still providing consistent grilling performance. When comparing models, it's worth considering heat output, installation requirements, energy source and the types of food you'll be preparing. The best option will vary from one business to another. If you're uncertain which commercial char grill is right for your venue, Cater Central can provide practical advice based on your kitchen's setup.
      When selecting a commercial char grill, consider factors such as cooking surface size, burner configuration, heat distribution, grease management and ease of cleaning. Heavy-duty cooking grates and durable stainless steel construction are common features designed for busy hospitality environments. Removable drip trays and accessible components can simplify daily cleaning and routine maintenance, while adjustable cooking zones may provide greater flexibility when preparing different foods at the same time. It's also important to ensure the unit fits comfortably within your kitchen layout and complies with your available utilities. If you're comparing different commercial char grills and need help identifying the right model, the Cater Central team is available to assist with practical recommendations.
      The ideal commercial char grill depends on your menu, kitchen layout and expected service volume. Smaller countertop char grills are well suited to cafés, food trucks and restaurants with limited space, while wider freestanding models are better suited to hotels, clubs, pubs and high-volume commercial kitchens preparing multiple grilled items simultaneously. Consider the number of covers you serve during peak periods, the types of proteins and vegetables on your menu, and how much cooking surface you'll require throughout the day. Choosing a char grill with sufficient capacity can help improve kitchen efficiency without taking up unnecessary space. If you're unsure which commercial char grill best suits your operation, the Cater Central team can help you compare the available options.
      Yes. Cater Central supplies commercial char grills to restaurants, cafés, hotels, bars, clubs, schools, hospitals, catering businesses and other hospitality operators throughout Australia.
