​5 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Restaurant Equipment

No one piece of equipment is alike, and no one brand serves the same needs. Similarly, your restaurant will be unique in its staff size, customer volume, cuisine output, and more. No matter what your business prioritizes, here are five mistakes to avoid when choosing the right piece of equipment for you.

Remember these tips with L.E.A.S.E.!

L – Leasing Without a Warranty

Your machine will have a long life ahead of it, and any issues that arise from daily wear and tear may be covered by warranty. Leasetaurant offers extended warranty that covers 100% all parts and labor, easy one-click claim file options, and full replacement of a unit that cannot be repaired. For a fraction of the cost of your machine, you’ll save hundreds by having your machine covered if something goes wrong.

E – Excluding High Costs at the Expense of Quality

We at Leasetaurant do all we can to ensure you can get quality equipment without breaking the bank. That said, your kitchen equipment will be used daily, so make sure you invest in something durable. The more reliable your appliance, the less you’ll spend on repairs, upkeep, and maintenance.

A – Accepting Equipment Before Inspecting

Once the equipment is delivered, you must inspect it and make note of any issues before accepting it. This is your chance to find any flaws or faults in the machinery, to make sure the measurements are accurate, and more. Report anything that you find immediately. If you don’t, it may affect warranty and returns, so be careful!

S – Selecting the Machine Before Measuring Your Space

Every piece of equipment listed on Leasetaurant includes a detailed specification sheet, including measurements. Before making any orders, please ensure that they fit the available spacing in your restaurant. The image you see associated with a product can come in many different sizes, so make sure you’ve got the right fitting!

E – Energy Efficiency is Crucial – Don’t Forget It!

Restaurant equipment will be running constantly throughout the day, and handling heavier volumes of food, dishes, and ice than residential equipment. Whatever costs you may save by signing up for monthly lease payments with Leasetaurant, you may lose by ignoring energy efficiency. Research energy ratings and keep an eye out for Energy Star’s reviews and labels.

So now, when you go shopping for products on Leasetaurant, just keep L.E.A.S.E. in mind, and you’ll have the tools you need to get the equipment that works best for you.
