If you run a restaurant, hotel kitchen or cafe in Cyprus, fuel choice is one of the most important operational decisions you will make. LPG is widely used across the hospitality sector in Cyprus for a straightforward reason: it works better in a commercial kitchen than the alternatives.

This guide covers why LPG is the preferred fuel for commercial kitchens in Cyprus, which Intergaz products suit different types of operation, and what to expect when you set up or switch your gas supply.

Why commercial kitchens in Cyprus choose LPG

LPG offers a combination of performance, reliability and practicality that suits high-volume cooking environments. Key reasons hospitality businesses choose LPG include:

• Immediate, controllable heat that chefs can work with precisely

• No dependency on grid infrastructure, making it available island-wide

• Consistent supply managed by your supplier, rather than manual monitoring

• Suitable for a wide range of commercial cooking equipment

• Cleaner combustion with lower CO2 and greenhouse emissions compared to other fuels

For a kitchen running service across multiple covers, the difference between gas and electric cooking is immediately apparent in temperature response and control.

LPG supply options for restaurants in Cyprus

Depending on the size of your operation and your site, Intergaz can supply commercial kitchen gas in two ways: steel cylinders or a bulk tank.

Steel cylinders for smaller operations

For smaller restaurants, cafeterias and mobile catering operations with moderate consumption, steel cylinders are a practical and flexible option. Intergaz steel cylinders are available in four sizes:

• 35kg: frequently used in cafeterias and by mobile caterers, as well as in farming and agriculture

• 50kg: an ideal solution for catering operations where bulk supply is not suitable due to restricted space or lower consumption

• 15kg: used in some industrial and commercial settings including forklift trucks

• 10kg: suited to smaller-scale commercial cooking and outdoor heating

All Intergaz steel cylinders are manufactured to EN1442 standard and comply with EU Directive 2010/35UE. They can be used individually or sequentially with a switch valve for uninterrupted gas supply during service.

Bulk LPG tank for higher volume operations

For restaurants, hotels and larger hospitality businesses with consistent daily usage, a bulk LPG tank is the more practical and cost-effective solution. A tank is installed on your premises and refilled by scheduled tanker deliveries managed by Intergaz. You do not need to monitor stock or arrange collections.

Intergaz supplies both vertical and horizontal bulk tanks, imported from Europe and compliant with EU Directive 97/23/CE on pressure equipment. Available sizes for commercial operations include horizontal tanks at 1,000L, 1,750L, 3,000L and 5,000L, depending on your consumption and site requirements.

A bulk tank also eliminates the risk of running out mid-service, which is a genuine operational concern for busy kitchens.

LPG for hotel kitchens and hot water

Hotels use LPG for more than just cooking. The Intergaz bulk tanks page lists hotels as a primary use case alongside restaurants, bakeries, laundries, swimming pools and industry. Hot water for guest rooms, space heating in common areas, outdoor heaters for terraces and pool heating are all common applications.

Intergaz works with hotels across Cyprus to supply the volume they need, with delivery schedules built around the demands of the property. For larger hotel sites, bulk tank installations are the standard approach.

LPG for bakeries

Intergaz supplies some of Cyprus's largest bakery chains with LPG for ovens and production equipment. Reliable delivery schedules are built around the demands of commercial baking operations, where fuel consistency is critical to production.

LPG for industrial use, forklifts and vehicles

LPG is also used commercially for heating large industrial spaces, ovens, boilers and furnaces, as well as an alternative automotive fuel for forklifts and vans. LPG-powered forklifts offer high performance with lower emissions and no fuel residues compared to other options. If your business uses LPG-powered vehicles or equipment, the Intergaz team can advise on the right supply arrangement.

Setting up LPG supply for your restaurant or hotel

The process of setting up commercial LPG supply with Intergaz is straightforward:

• Initial consultation to understand your consumption and site requirements

• Site assessment for tank positioning and access (bulk supply)

• Tank sizing recommendation based on your usage

• Installation and pipework connection

• Compliance and safety sign-off to Cyprus and EU standards

• Scheduled delivery arrangement and account setup
