Everything You Need to Know About Buying Used Restaurant Equipment

Commercial Appliance Service
When preparing to open your new restaurant, it is important to get the best quality equipment that you can afford. The good news is that many budgets can afford great equipment when they buy used. Because many restaurants are unable to make it through more than a few years of business, there is always a healthy stock of used commercial restaurant equipment to choose from. If you are unsure of where to begin in the purchasing process, consider the following:

Choose Newer Pieces

While it is not true with everything, newer is the better choice for used commercial restaurant equipment. The wear and tear on these pieces can be extreme, so even after just five years of use, an older stove may not perform as well as a newer stove. This is particularly true of electric equipment, which has more parts and a greater statistical chance of wearing out and needing repair. 

Understand Your Warranties

Like many other things, warranties are not guaranteed, and used items often lack them. Warranties are an important consideration because they offer peace of mind and can help save owners time and money. This can be a gamble, especially with older equipment. However, chances are that if you are good to your newer equipment, repairs may not be needed for some time. 

Skip the Old Fryers

Fryers present a unique situation in the kitchen. They are the one piece of equipment that should almost always be bought brand new. This is because they present a unique, potentially dangerous situation when they are not properly maintained. To ensure that your kitchen stays standing and free of flames, simply budget your money to include a new fryer.

It is most important to remember that this is a buyer’s market. At CASCO, we understand that with enough time and searching, you are likely to find just what you need and within your price range.

The restaurant I work for is planning on buying some used equipment, so they are wondering how to go about the process. So thanks for suggesting that we look at the warranties so that we can save ourselves some time and money. I will be sure to tell my boss to buy some used restaurant equipment with great warranties.

Thanks for the advice to get newer commercial restaurant equipment. My brother wants to open a restaurant sometime this Summer. Maybe I can find him some equipment for sale or get it from a company.
