We got a good price on the building. It was built @1920 so it was built with early wiring and "modern" plumbing.... Our thought is that since we are basically gutting the building is to make it servicable for the next 50 years. The old owner put a new roof on 4 years ago
For our electrical service we are going for a 300 amp service for the main electrical box and then a separate box for the hvac that is 50 amp 3 phase. Most of the large cooking appliances are gas. The water heater is gas. The main draw on electrical will be the various refrigerators and the hood fan. I have two 3-door remote compressor fridges in storage. I think they each need their own 20 amp breaker. The will be a subpanel on the kitchen/storage area so we don't have to hike to the basement to flip the breakers.
For plumbing I am going to have to install a grease trap. I like the new self-bailer type that seperate the grease and solids into bins that get emptied every day as opposed to buying another tank style trap. They are sold under that name "Big Dipper". They run close to double what a tank runs but I like the idea of not having the to empty out "The Spa"... Idaho does not regulate that we must have a separate employee washroom but we do need handwashing-only sinks in the kitchen and prep/dish areas. I went through most of this when we started our first restaurant- dishsinks must be hooked to a greasetrap, but a dishmachine must have a straight drain to the sewer.
Food prep sinks must have broken drains.
As for my new dishmachine I will probably get another one through the chemical company I bought our last one through. I can buy a lease-return machine for fairly cheap. I though about going for an undercounter style for the quiet factor- they run a lot more money than the usual slide-thru. I will also put in another 60 gal gas water heater just for the machine. It is a lot cheaper to have a couple of home hot water heaters than buying the commercial monster.
