Guide to Restaurant Equipment Distributors

Get down to business with food equipment distributors


Opening a restaurant requires a lot of commercial equipment, from kitchen supplies to dining room furniture. Many food service equipment distributors offer everything you need to open a restaurant, while other restaurant distributors specialize in one area of food service equipment, such as commercial refrigeration, smallwares, bar supplies and ventilation.

When looking at items for sale by restaurant equipment distributors, shop around for the best price. Also take advantage of salespersons' knowledge. They can walk you through the different types of refrigeration, ventilation and other equipment that will best suit your restaurant.

When looking for food equipment distributors, make a list that will help you keep track of everything you will need. It should include equipment and supplies for the:
  1. Kitchen
  2. Dining Room
  3. Bar
  4. Wait station
  5. Hostess station
  6. Restrooms


Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Select energy-efficient kitchen heating and refrigeration equipment from Commercial kitchen equipment such as coolers, walk-in refrigerators, ovens, and hoods all use a lot of energy. Look for foodservice equipment distributors who carry refrigerators, freezers and coolers with the Energy Star symbol. These models save up to 45% more energy than other models. When looking for stoves and ranges, stick with gas, which is more cost-efficient than electric and offers a more reliable cooking temperatures.

I recommend:  BigTray.com is a leading restaurant equipment distributor who carries stoves, ovens and grill. Jeans Restaurant Supply is another food service equipment distributor who carries an extensive line of commercial kitchen equipment, including heating and cooling units. Find more food equipment distributors and restaurant distributors at Business.com.

Choose dining room furnishings that are durable, beautiful and functional. The whole look of your restaurant is defined by the tables and chairs you select. Think about it: red metal chairs and tables with glass tops create an entirely different ambience than classic wooden chairs in a mahogany finish with matching tables. Your dining room furnishings should match your theme, no matter if it is formal or casual. Along with quality furniture, you will need attractive table settings, as well.

I recommend:  Find quality restaurant furnishings at OneWayFurniture.com. Libby, a leading restaurant distributor, offers a complete line of durable tableware for restaurants.

Look for restaurant distributors of bar equipment and supplies The bar is one of the best places to increase sales at any restaurant. Many restaurant distributors carry a large line of bar supplies, from liquor wells to pint glasses and beer towers. If you plan on having a full-service bar where patrons can sit and dine, then you will need menus and place settings along with bar supplies.

I recommend:  Find a wide range of commercial restaurant equipment for the bar at Instawares.com. They carry everything from bar mats to soda guns and wine glasses. Other restaurant equipment distributors who carry bar items include Steelite International and the Beverage Factory.

Stay organized with commercial restaurant equipment distributors Food storage racks can help both the dry storage area and walk-in cooler stay organized. Clearly labeling commercial kitchen shelving will help employees put stock away in the correct area. Organizing your storage areas also ensures stock gets rotated and allows you better track your inventory.

I recommend:  Food equipment distributors like Restaurant-Service.com carry basic metal shelves that work well for restaurants and are safe for both food and chemicals.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • Many restaurant equipment distributors carry used items. Buying used restaurant equipment is a natural choice for smallwares, like plates, baskets, glasses and utensils. However, used heating and refrigeration is a gamble, since most used restaurant equipment doesn't come with a warranty. Remember, you get what you pay for.
