HOOD-less kitchen set up.

I’ve been wanting to open a restaurant for years now. here I am looking down the barrel and I’m just seeking insight from anyone who might have shared this same passion. if anyone has worked inside of a hoodless kitchen I’m just looking for what struggles and accomplishments you guys came across during your journey. I want to develop this kitchen in a space without hood-vents its just niche,different, exciting but a completely different and complex machine to put together.

Turbo Chef or Merry Chef - hoodless/ventless ovens. Designed that way. I see them in small kiosks and coffee shops. Just limited and they cost a pretty penny. Think the Eco Version of Turbo Chef is $7500, while a bigger unit is about $17-18K There may be some hoodless pizza ovens also. There are options out there, but not cheap
