Generator sets for the hospitality and catering sector (HoReCa)

The term ‘HoReCa’ is an abbreviation of the words ‘Hotel’, ‘Restaurant’ and ‘Café’ and is used as a shorthand to denote the sectoral classification of broad groups of goods and services. This term has quite rapidly almost entirely replaced previously common names such as ‘GRB’ (hotel and restaurant business) and ‘KaBaRe’ (cafés, bars and restaurants), becoming firmly established among both market operators and participants.

Our company supplies generator equipment, and within the small-scale energy sector, this area remains consistently important to us. We offer diesel generators for the HoReCa sector.

Why is generator equipment needed in the hotel and restaurant sector?

The diversity of establishments within the HoReCa sector dictates a wide range of needs for backup power supply. Venues located far from towns and main power lines — roadside motels, motorway cafés, railway station eateries, tourist camps and fishing lodges — are the most vulnerable to power cuts. Such premises typically operate tens of kilometres from major population centres, where an uninterrupted power supply is not guaranteed.

A stand-alone diesel generator allows downtime caused by grid failures to be almost completely eliminated. The main areas of electricity consumption are lighting, kitchen equipment, refrigerators, air-conditioning systems and water supply. Most HoReCa customers opt for standby diesel generators housed in soundproof enclosures. For premises where rapid restoration of power supply without staff intervention is crucial, generator sets are fitted with an automatic transfer switch (ATS) for automatic start-up. At the same time, for small cafés or budget holiday camps, where brief power cuts are acceptable, a generator without an automatic start-up function is often sufficient.

Furthermore, almost all ‘3-star’ hotels and above have a backup power station with a mandatory automatic transfer switch (ATS) module. A modern hotel consumes large amounts of electricity (air conditioning, lifts, lighting, communications, restaurants), sometimes hundreds of kilowatts or even over a megawatt. That is precisely why a high-quality generator is essential.

How our generators ensure the uninterrupted operation of hotels and restaurants

Energy independence for hotels and restaurants is, first and foremost, about guest comfort and safeguarding the establishment’s reputation. Dalgakiran, with its understanding of the nuances of technological processes in the HoReCa sector, offers diesel power stations based on engines from the world’s leading manufacturers, Mitsubishi and Baudouin Moteurs. These units are the result of over 100 years of research, combining French engineering sophistication with Japanese reliability.

If, however, the priority is compactness for installation in confined spaces and reduced exhaust emissions, Volvo Penta generators are the ideal choice, as they offer a long service life despite their small size.

For businesses seeking more budget-friendly yet equally high-quality solutions, we offer generators based on the Doosan Daewoo platform. Also worthy of consideration are INTER units, which are optimally adapted to the specific characteristics of fuels and lubricants available on the domestic market and easily adjust to sudden changes in load thanks to automatic voltage regulators.

To ensure that the facility’s operations are not interrupted for even a minute, we offer equipment fitted with an automatic start-up system (AIS), which instantly activates the generator in the event of a power cut. To ensure uninterrupted operation during the winter months, options are available for pre-start heating of the engine, fuel tank and electrical cabinet. Their in-depth technical knowledge enables Dalgakiran’s specialists to further equip the generator set with mechanical interlocks, fuel sensors and other options, creating a bespoke solution that best suits your business.

The benefits of using reliable stand-alone generators for uninterrupted power supply to hotels and restaurants

Purchasing and installing your own diesel generator as a backup power source completely resolves the problem of power cuts and voltage fluctuations, and offers a number of important advantages:

• Wide functionality and variety of models. A diesel generator ensures the operation of kitchen equipment, lighting, heating systems and water pumps — without which the full operation of any establishment is simply impossible.
• Automatic operation. The automatic transfer switch (ATS) starts the generator automatically when required. The presence of an operator and constant monitoring are not required, which avoids additional staffing costs and ensures full energy efficiency for any type of equipment.
• Operational comfort. Although traditional diesel generators are quite noisy, models designed for cafés and restaurants are fitted with soundproof enclosures, ensuring that their operation does not cause discomfort to staff or guests.
• Enhanced reliability. If required, the backup power source can be fitted with monitoring sensors and warning systems.

HoReCa establishments are heavily reliant on positive guest feedback, so the consistency of service is crucial. And it is precisely the right type of diesel generator, as a backup power source, that will help ensure this.

Why you should buy generator equipment for the HoReCa sector from Dalgakiran

We supply equipment manufactured in-house. Our factories source components for assembly directly from manufacturers, after which the finished products are delivered to our branch warehouses. This ensures that customers receive equipment at the best possible price.

Our warehouses always maintain sufficient stocks of consumables and spare parts, enabling our service centres to operate 24/7 and respond quickly to customer enquiries. In addition to material resources, Dalgakiran regularly enhances the skills of its engineers through practical training at manufacturing plants.

Our specialists’ regular participation in industry conferences enables them to keep abreast of the latest global technological developments and adapt them for use in Ukraine. This allows us to identify and offer clients solutions that take into account both local conditions and the future development of the sector in which our power stations are to be used.

We offer comprehensive solutions: from analysing the customer’s needs and developing a cost-effective project to the supply and commissioning of equipment for operation. In cases where time is of the essence, it is possible to hire equipment or make a partial transition to new technology, allowing production to be flexibly adapted to the customer’s needs.
