Bartscher

Welcome to our Bartscher boutique, dedicated to the German manufacturer of professional kitchen equipment founded in 1876, with its current headquarters in Salzkotten, North Rhine-Westphalia. Originally a retail business specialising in gas cookers, the family-owned company became an installer and outfitter of industrial kitchens in 1959. Today Bartscher is one of Europe's leading professional catering equipment brands, with a logistics site of more than 15,000 m² holding around 1,800 products in permanent stock.

Choosing your Bartscher equipment

What does "Imbiss" mean in the Bartscher catalogue?

"Imbiss" means "snack" in German and historically refers, in the Bartscher catalogue, to the range of equipment dedicated to fast food and continuous service: fryers, grills, planchas, woks, snack griddles and hot-dog machines. The associated number (340, 600, 700, 900...) generally corresponds to a capacity or depth tier within the Bartscher catalogue.

How to choose between the 600, 700 and 900 Imbiss series?

The 600 Imbiss series covers low throughput (neighbourhood snack bars, light food trucks). The 700 Imbiss — the most complete — equips most snack bars and standard brasseries. The 900 Imbiss targets heavy throughput (canteens, fast-food, hospitality) with reinforced power and capacity. Choice depends mainly on the number of simultaneous covers and available kitchen space.

Is Bartscher equipment made in Germany?

Bartscher is a German brand with headquarters and main facility in Salzkotten. Part of the range is designed in Germany and assembled in Europe; other products are manufactured in partnership with non-EU facilities depending on the price segment. The exact country of origin appears on each product's technical sheet.

Which Bartscher equipment to open a snack bar or food truck?

For a snack bar or food truck, the Bartscher essentials are: an Imbiss electric fryer (4 to 8 L), a snack griddle or plancha, a contact grill or panini grill, a professional microwave, and a refrigerated cabinet or container. The 600 or 700 Imbiss series covers most of these needs with standard electrical compatibility (230 V single-phase up to 3 kW).
