For Schools
Beyond Commercial Kitchen supplies commercial kitchen equipment for school canteens, boarding school kitchens, and university catering facilities across Kenya. From primary schools to large national secondary schools and polytechnics, we fabricate robust, easy-to-clean Grade 201 | 304 stainless steel equipment that stands up to the demands of feeding hundreds of students every day.
School kitchens feed the same large number of students every single day on a tight schedule. We specify equipment for sustained high-volume output — large-capacity ranges, bulk prep stations, and high-throughput servery lines.
School budgets are fixed. We offer cost-effective specifications that do not compromise on hygiene or durability — matching the right grade and configuration to your budget and meal numbers.
Schools are inspected by KEBS and county health officers. Our equipment meets food safety requirements so your kitchen passes inspections and keeps students safe.
Boarding schools and institutions receive bulk food deliveries. We supply HACCP-compliant dry store racks, dunnage racks, and receiving area equipment to manage large-volume ingredient storage.

What You Actually Need
Equipment requirements scale with throughput, not floor area. Find the band closest to your operation to see what the kitchen needs and roughly what it costs.
200 – 800+ students
KSh 500,000 – 2,500,000
Cost per cover is typically lower than a restaurant because the menu is simpler and portioning is standardised. Peak load matters more than daily totals: a school serves its entire roll within one short break.
Common Questions
A school canteen needs large-capacity cooking equipment (ranges sized for student numbers), a servery line with bain maries or hot cupboards, bulk prep worktables, wash-up sinks, grease trap, and extensive dry and cold storage for bulk ingredient deliveries. All equipment must meet KEBS and HACCP food safety requirements.
A primary school canteen kitchen costs KSh 300,000–800,000. A boarding school kitchen for 200–500 students costs KSh 700,000–2,000,000. A large boarding school or university facility for 500–2,000 students costs KSh 1,500,000–4,000,000 depending on the menu complexity and meal frequency.
Yes. Schools are inspected by KEBS and county health officers. All food contact surfaces must be Grade 201 | 304 stainless, a grease trap must be installed, a dedicated hand-washing basin must exist, and extraction must be adequate for the cooking equipment. Schools found non-compliant can be required to halt catering operations.
Yes. We provide equipment schedules, material certificates, and compliance documentation suitable for government and institutional procurement processes. We have supplied school and institutional kitchens for public and private schools across Kenya.
A standard boarding school kitchen is typically fabricated in 2–4 weeks from our Nairobi workshop. Installation takes 3–7 days depending on the scale of the project. We coordinate delivery and installation during school holidays to minimise disruption to catering operations.
