It is vital to have multiple exits with wide doors that allow for swift evacuation. Ensure that the layout of the dining room does not obstruct the evacuation route, and clearly mark all exits for easy identification.
Fire Alarms
Install fire alarms with automatic smoke detection capabilities to quickly alert patrons of potential fires. Additionally, fire alarms should possess a manual operation option with a pull handle to facilitate immediate action if a fire occurs. Miami Fire provides fire and smoke detection, monitoring. They are also able to design and install the alarm system, plus they include carbon monoxide monitors, and having a CO monitor is essential to detect that odorless, but deadly gas.

Wet-Chemical Extinguishing System
This system serves as an automatic fire suppressant that can also be manually operated. It effectively cools and separates oil from the air, preventing the fire from spreading.
Class-K Fire Extinguisher
It is essential to have portable fire extinguishers specifically designed for cooking-related fires within reach.
Kitchen Hood
