It really depends on if you're starting from scratch, purchasing new or used equipment, and if you have a large or small scale business. Some of the equipment that you will definitely need are the following (very condensed list):
- Pass-through refrigerator: ~$2300-6000
- Under counter refrigerator: ~$3200-5000
- Refrigerated counter-top: ~$1700-1900
- Pass-through freezer: ~$1500-4500
Just with this equipment alone you will spend between $8,700 and $26,100.
You also need to factor in all counter-tops, sinks, racks, shelving, flatware, dinnerware, linens, bags, boxes, utensils, soy sauce containers, buckets, janitorial supplies, etc. For these items, you'll probably spend about another $10,000 more.
