Apollo VLC Series live cooking counters bring the kitchen to your guests — integrated fume extraction, air filtration, touch control and under-counter storage in a single smokeless commercial cooking station.
Bring the Kitchen to Your Guests — The Apollo VLC Series
A live cooking counter transforms a standard dining experience into an interactive, theatrical event. Guests watch skilled chefs prepare their meals to order — choosing ingredients, customising flavours and observing the entire cooking process in full view. This transparency builds confidence in food quality, drives engagement and significantly elevates perceived dining value.
The Apollo VLC Series is India's premium commercial live cooking counter — featuring an integrated fume extraction hood, multi-stage air filtration, touch-control digital panel, hot/cold under-counter storage and heavy-duty mobile castors. The result is a fully self-contained, smokeless live cooking station that can be placed anywhere in a dining area.
Available in 2-unit (VLC-CT2), 3-unit (VLC-CT3) and 4-unit (VLC-CT4) configurations — and fully custom-built for any cuisine type from Teppanyaki to Grill, Pasta Bar to Indian live counters.
6 Integrated Systems — One Complete Station
Every Apollo VLC counter is a self-contained commercial live cooking station — extraction, filtration, storage, control and mobility built in from the start.
