Which Cylinder Size Suits Hotel Kitchens

The Direct Answer

For hotel kitchens, 666g or 670g is the default fit — enough gas per cylinder to handle banqueting and breakfast service without constant changeovers, with a storage footprint that suits a dedicated back-of-house store.

The Slightly Longer Explanation

Hotels run mixed-volume kitchens across breakfast, banqueting, room service, and pastry. The size question becomes: which format works across all of them, not just the busiest.

666g (Cream Deluxe Black Cobra, FastGas 666g equivalents) is the most common landing point. It handles a busy banqueting shift without forcing pastry to swap cylinders mid-service.

Larger groups with flagship venues sometimes step to 2kg for the main kitchen while keeping 666g at smaller outlets. Mixed-size estates are routine.

Buyer Checklist

Before you act on the answer above, run through this:

  • Audit daily burn across all kitchens, not just the busiest
  • Confirm storage suits a dedicated back-of-house store
  • Consider mixed-size estate for flagship + satellite venues
  • Submit the qualification wizard with target sites and pallet quantity
