Where to find used restaurant equipment for sale

So, if you want to start a restaurant or used catering business on a budget or maybe, if you have dreams of organising a start-up as a restaurant supplier, then you'll need supplies and catering products. You'll likely need them on cheap prices, and this article will provide you some suggestions on this.

Discount/wholesale websites

There are plenty of restaurant supply places, where you can go to get restaurant supplies online for decently low prices. The biggest piece of advice here is to check the site out first. So, make sure it's reputable and the equipment is in good condition, and that, it ships timely without costing too much. Some websites to start with are: -Acitydiscount.com-look for restaurant equipment -Restaurantequipment.net -Usedbizstuff.com -Basequipment.com

Scratch and dent warehouse stores

These are ubiquitous in some countries, like the US and certainly becoming more common throughout the world. Thus, they are easy ways to meet the demands of budget-strapped small businesses and firms. You'll know if there are any of those in your city area. They usually produce extraordinarily annoying ads, with people yelling about savings. Many of these places sell restaurant equipment. Hence, you will need to be warned, as it's far more likely that you'll find things for the front of the house here. Restaurant kitchen appliances are not unheard of, but are certainly less frequent.

From the less fortunate (restaurants, that is)

Being in the restaurant business is not as easy as most people think. Many start-up restaurants go out of business in the first year, let alone three to five fiscal years down the line. Of course, as a smart entrepreneur or an existing restaurateur looking for a discount, this is good news for you. Many of these less fortunate owners will be looking for ways to clear their debts, by selling their used equipment at almost irresponsibly cheap prices. A quick look in the classifieds or a phone call to your local business group or chamber of commerce chapter might turn up some pleasing results. If you're just starting out, and still looking for a location as well as equipment, look for places where restaurants used to be. Many of them will have the equipment left still in their kitchen. Since the priority of a successful business is location, don't feel bound to a place, just because it has the equipment you need. If you find a better place, have the old equipment ripped out of the walls, and sent to your new place of business. A restaurant is one of the most exciting businesses to start as an entrepreneur, but it'll go nowhere without decent equipment. Don't reduce your budget, when you can find quality equipment on the cheap.
