In case you haven’t noticed, the employees here at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment aren’t your standard employees. We’re all a bit off our rocker, so to speak, so the title of this blog entry should not surprise you. I’ll tell you how all the smurfiness happened – we were eating some of the Google Girl’s left over birthday cake, when the Divine Miss T mentions something about her teeth being all blue (thanks to the icing). The pregnant lady said, “Looks like you’ve been sucking the toe of a smurf!” and that’s when all the smurfy phrases starting pouring out. My particular favorite was, “You don’t know the smurf of it!”. As I type this, I am smurfing up all over again! HA! Gotta….catch…..my…..breath!

At any rate – it’s been pretty smurfy around here at the Frog today and we just wanted to share our smurfiness with you this wonderful Holiday season! If you would like to add a bit of the smurfy attitude to your life, stop by One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment and see what kinda fantastically smurfy deals you can find!

  • Pregnant lady is well, still pregnant
  • Google Girl has recently been distracted by Facebook but no worries she’s back to blogging as evidenced by her hot date with you guys tonite
  • The Restaurant Equipment Doctor has been doctoring… well he’s been busy…

That about sums it up.  We had Halloween Dress up, will try to post pics.  We had a toga day.  Again pics overdue and we’ve had too many days of the guys out of the warehouse pulling restaurants and girls in heels driving the forklift.  Well, mainly the Divine Miss T since it seems no one will teach me how to drive it.

Sometimes I think the delivery guys like to just drop off or pickup to see our shenanigans.  Stop by and ask Miss T to drive the forklift for you.  It’s pretty funny!  And if you’re lucky she’ll tool around in the Ford F-250 too.

One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment where it’s about friendship, fellowship, family and harassing people… well ina  gentle fashion.

Amelia Island Fernadina Beach Restaurant Supplies

October 27, 2008

Sometimes they actually let me get away from the computer for a few hours.  (Okay, I call it work release, they call it prying my finger off the keyboard… Uh, Connie, you’ve been voted most likely to need a vacation- like yesterday!)

Last weekend I had the grace to vacation ocean front on Amelia Island.  I had a fabulous time with my best friend.  We shopped, ate and walked on the beach.  And then I think we shopped a bit more.

As you know I’m a big fan of indy restaurants and was able to eat at this little place called “Jack and Diane’s.”  The owner’s family is actually from the island (can you imagine, someone who may actually be a Florida native?  Throughout the restaurant were pictures of her grandparents and the duration of their 50 year marriage on the island.

So I could talk about the decor and the funky pink and black color scheme or the music (very good), but what’s probably most relevant is the caliber of food and the variety of just interesting items!

So Jack N’ Diane’s- two thumbs up for two days of breakfast.  Day one was Funnel Cake with a fruit composite and eggs; day two was crab cakes *the best ever dubs Connie” with a Jalapeno bernaise sauce (absolutely divine).

Suffice it to say I eat out a lot- it’s a part of my job that I take full advantage of.  Meals are not really complete without me looking at the equipment, at the set up, seeing how they’re used different pieces or what pieces they need.

Beer Frosters – upright vertical & horizontal bottle coolers- Frosters

October 30, 2008

These dual purpose machines are great to hold your beer cold at 23 degrees – super frosty beer for hot Florida.  Nothing like an enjoyable icey-cold beer at super low temperatures when you’re outside on a bike ride.  Are you hosting poker runs and really want to have some cold beer.  Granted the girls in the bikinis can sell the beer but no one’s buying if it’s warm.

Give us a call at 407.936-2733 and let us get you one!


Funky Friday…Happy Haunted Holiday

October 30, 2008

Stop in- we’re wearing costumes to work tomorrow and the daycare nearby is trick-or-treating between 10 and 11 a.m. We’d love to see you and please tease our IT folks about their costumes. We think they’ve decided to dress as computer nurds… hahahaha

We may even have someone dressed in the frog costume- look for pictures tomorrow and also maybe video of our trick-or-treaters!


Guess who dressed as the frog?

October 31, 2008

Pictures to come from One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment Halloween dress up. You know we like to tease each other so everyone thought they’d ambush the other person and not arrive in costume …

We think Eric is dressing as a cowboy today to please the children next door.

The Frog was getting down to some Jimmy Buffet and lounging on the tiki bar…

pictures to come…

Because it’s important to remember the important things in life- buying beer at 8 a.m. for the beer froster and trying to explain to the clerk at 7/11 that you are not an alcoholic- really, believe me on that one- and that Halloween only comes around once a year and you have to let loose a bit!

So if you want to come try out the beer froster- there’s BudLite on hold.


Hoppy Halloween from One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment

It’s only 10 a.m. and while it was hot in the costume no one “croaked”…

Trick or treat

October 31, 2008

The daycare students came from next door.  We were soooo excited about seeing them.  One little lady has been a student since they day we opened at this location and we’ve been tickled to see her start walking and really interacting.

I have to admit we probably had more fun although one of our favorite students was sick today.  Bum deal!

enjoy the pictures


Prime Story – nothing to do with restaurant equipment

October 31, 2008

Prime story- a true classic.  It’s been a great day.  I come out dressed as the frog and a regular client looks at me and doesn’t even crack a smile- just says I look like his family members.  (Hope I don’t look like his wife… hahaha)

Here’s the prime story.  So we’ve just moved into the expansion and sometimes electrical plugs, phone jacks and all of that stuff is at a high premium as logistics are still being worked out.  Seems one of the guys needed to get a multi-electric plug.  He was using some UPS from a POS system (is that enough technical and restaurant abbreviations in one sentence?  I am reminding you and telling you I am the queen of abbreviations.  For those of you who do not know what they stand for:  UPS = United Parcel Service Uninterrupted Power Supply and POS = Point of sale).  Anyway, back to the story.  So he goes from his cubicle to the boss’s desk and grabs that power strip.  In comes the boss, sits at his new chair, goes to plug in his laptop and says, “hey where’s my power strip?”  It couldn’t have been any better, IT guy (aka Webmaster aka Mr. Arizona Ice Tea) says, “oh, did you need that?”

Prime!


Arizona Ice Tea & Mr. IT aka Webmaster Holiday Tree

October 31, 2008

Thanks to Rochelle at JLA for this laugh. Rochelle, we got tons of mileage out of this one-

For those in the know, we have a guy in the office who drinks a lot of Arizona Ice Tea. I think at last count it was at least five of the super big cans a day. This will make it super easy for holiday shopping or if you’re his secret santa… hahaha

Another funny store about our office & potatoes

October 31, 2008

This is the day that all of our office truths come out on the internet.  So, for the gal in our office who is worried about eating potatoes each day at lunch ( Sarah You-know-who-you-are) you should find interest in this.   We may be scheduling our own potato intervention here at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment.  If you should want to bring Sarah errr… the person we will not name …. a potato for lunch do bring her one.

If the margin is there would you consider opening a potato restaurant?

Sound Systems for Restaurant or Bar

November 1, 2008

We do used sound systems in our inventory from time to time.  However, we’re finding more and more folks are relying on using their IPOD with wireless speakers.  This is a fairly inexpensive way to create set lists and really keep the house humming when a DJ or live music is not available.

The beautiful part is that you can set up the play lists on your computer at home and you have no issue about folks changing the radio station or worries that another restaurant’s ads will play on the radio when you’re not there.

I do highly encourage thinking about this.  It takes little initial financial outlay and it’s an affordable alternative to create ambience on a high level scale.


Hiring Food Service Employees & conducting interviews

November 1, 2008

Hiring employees is an important task and relates directly to the efficiency and also the bottom line.  I know you’ve probably heard and read enough about how much it costs if you have employee turnover- and we all know it’s just inevitable in a food service situation.

Even more of an issue as we continue to do business in a financial crunch is that waitstaff may begin to turnover even faster if tips are not coming in.  Let’s face it, fewer tables means lower tips.

As we’ve been conducting interviews quite a bit as our staff expands, I’ve had to take a few tricks out of my bag when I used to hire for my staff of fifty.  I am not tooting my own horn but I’m rather good at getting folks to talk and really show me sides of their personality that will be integral to their performance within the workplace.  I think the easiest way is to get a potential employee to talk about what really has meaning to them and also ask them how they problem solve and handle difficulties in their lives/ workplace.

Over the years I make sure I do a few part process:

  1. telephone prescreening (can they even communicate over the telephone in an appropriate manner which tells me if they will be able to communicate with co-workers and clients)
  2. in-person interviews (during this phase I actually review their resume with them and then have a list of questions that ALL candidates answer- this list will be stapled to their resume/ application)

If I were creating a list of questions for waitstaff or staff in a food service establishment I might use some of these questions:

  1. Have there ever been times during shift where there was nothing to do?  How did you deal with being bored?  (this will tell you if they’re a self-starter or like to hang out)
  2. If I talked with <insert name of last boss> what would they say you strengths were?  What would they say they wanted you to work on?  (You will be surprised at what folks tell you here.  If they think you are checking references- and of course you will- then they will be candid and also tell you what level of awareness they have as an employee.  It will tell you if they are simply working on the level of this is my job let me clock in and out or if they think on a company level).
  3. Have you ever had a customer who just wasn’t going to be happy?  <insert laughter here> Can you tell me about the last customer like that and how you handled it?  Tell me about your most frustrating customer.  Tell me about your best customer.
  4. How would you handle a surly cook?
  5. When was the last time you were late to work or called in?  Why was that?  How many times were you late/ absent int he past year?  If I were to ask <insert name of last boss here> how would they describe your dependability as a team player?
  6. We’ve all had poor managers.  Can you tell me about the last poor decision a manager you worked for made?  How did you handle it ?
  7. Did folks steal in any of your past jobs?  Explain how.  How did you handle it?  (This will give you good insight into their ethics and also dynamics in past places of employment.)
  8. If you have to come early for a shift or stay late with little notice is that a problem?
  9. What was the last thing you did at work without being asked/ outside of your job scope?

Obviously this is just a rough working outline and you should personalize it with the issues important to your operation.

Questions you MAY never ask:

  1. Religion
  2. Family status

Please remember you are an EOE workplace and when you advertise positions that should be in the ad.

Thanks for reading and I hope it helped a bit.  If you have an interview outline you usually use and would like to share it, please do send it to me at connieb@onefatfrog.com


6 Sure Ways to Lose your Food Service Job

November 1, 2008
  1. Pick a fight with the busboy and punch him out.
  2. Tell the customers that their $1 tip will certainly help you pay your rent this month.  <insert sarcasm here>
  3. Recycle your brunch tickets, pocketing the money on ten tables and cashing out for two.  Your manager hasn’t figured this out in a month, so why would they figure it out now?
  4. Don’t take a bath and come straight in with body funk.
  5. Don’t iron your shirt and wear a dirty apron.
  6. Greet your table with, “well, what do YOU want now?!

If they wear this then hire them immediately…

November 2, 2008

Here are the top ten outfits and accessories that a top-notch employee will wear to a potential interview.  Use our advice sparingly… or maybe even tongue in cheek.  After all, our name is One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment.  In fact if you see someone in this then you should hire them on the spot for your restaurant:

  1. flip flops
  2. torn jeans
  3. baby doll shorts
  4. plexi-plastic hooker heels
  5. toupee that is only half glued on
  6. missing top dentures
  7. IPOD
  8. extremely long manicured fingernails that curl on the ends.  Preferably have dangly accessories attached to the extension.
  9. heavy perfume
  10. facial tattoos with curse words and numerous teardrops for all the people they have killed.

After all… when you see a good employee pick them up immediately.

Restaurant Equipment Supply Sale- New Used November 2008

November 1, 2008

For the first two weeks of November we will be having a huge equipment and smallwares sale.  This sale will be on both new and used equipment in stock.  We will blowing out a lot of food service equipment in order to make room for new inventory.

Yes, you’ve read between the lines, despite our recent growth, despite the addition of new warehouse and showroom space… well, we’re already splitting at the seams! We’ll be posting an extensive list of the sale on Monday, but for now know that the early bird gets the worm and we have a lot of deli cases that need to go this week.

Yes, refrigerated deli cases- all shapes and sizes- need to be blown out at a heavily discounted rate.

Call One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment  at 407-936-2733 or better yet stop in at 1137 W. Airport Blvd, Sanford, FL 32773 ready to buy.  Don’t be like folks who came at the end of the last sale and were bummed that inventory had blown out.

Again, I have to say that one of our business acquaintances comes in and says, if anything you guys are not a museum, Connie.  And you know what?  That’s true.  We won’t let the equipment gather dust.  It’s not serving any purpose by sitting our our facility.  Take it home next week!

  • send us an e-mail with make/ model list and what you want for it
  • send us digital pictures
  • bring us food- I prefer anything with chocolate or cheese

Okay, well the last one was just a feeble attempt by me to get food.  But a girl can try, right?

Top 10 myths about Used Restaurant Equipment Dealers

November 2, 2008

See for the main portal to extensive information for Orlando Tampa Jacksonville Restaurant Equipment

Today’s entry is on the top ten myths about Used Restaurant Equipment Dealers and how One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment (located in Orlando FL) is breaking that myth.

  1. Dealers don’t post prices- the difference with One Fat Frog:   all of our items are clearly priced with our best price.
  2. Dealers want to make top dollar on one sale- the difference with One Fat Frog: we work on repeat business and word of mouth.
  3. Prepare to spend hours dealing for a great price- the difference with One Fat Frog: we know your time is valuable and if you’re not living at the restaurant then you’re thinking about it.  Let us get you in and out QUICKLY!
  4. Dealers are slimy- the difference with One Fat Frog: we take a shower once a week.  HAHAH  Honestly we do bathe regularly and we are honest good folks.  Our time is not spent thinking how we can take advantage of you.  We will tell you the history of the equipment and any repairs made on it.
  5. Used equipment warehouses and showrooms are dirty and dark- the difference with One Fat Frog: Our warehouses are neat and tidy, clean and dust-free.  We do not make money in keeping equipment around for years.  We turn it quickly and in turn get you the equipment you need at a great price.
  6. Used Dealers lack professionalism- the difference with One Fat Frog: is that we are consummate professionals with over 20 years in commercial equipment sales.  Our employees are honest, straightforward, educated and professional.  We won’t try to hard sell you.  If the equipment is right fr you it will sell itself.
  7. Used Dealers lie- the difference with One Fat Frog: we couldn’t sleep at night if we were worried about lies biting us in the tail.  By maintaining an honest and straightfoward relationship with all of our customers you’ll find that from sales to technical staff we all sleep pretty good at night .
  8. Used dealerships are located in unsafe and dangerous sections of town- the difference with One Fat Frog: we are in a deceint part of town that is easily found.  We’re not next-door-neighbors to the local crack dealers and you don’t have to worry about getting mugged in our parking lot.
  9. Used equipment is a potshot- technicians do not test it- the difference with One Fat Frog: our equipment is tested by trained technicians and we stand behind it.  We order parts and fix it- or we don’t sell it- period!  It’s not worth our time to sell equipment that is shoddy.  You will find that there are some used pieces of equipment we rarely ever sell – and that is because of quality.  There is no sense in reselling a piece of equipment that has been rode hard and lived out its life expectancy .
  10. Used equipment is filthy- the difference with One Fat Frog: we clean our equipment to standards we would want to eat off.  We run a fairly clean establishment as you do.  (*not withstanding the messy desk- we won’t say who it belongs to  Connie )  We understand that dirt/ food = bugs in Florida and guess what, we have no problems with bugs in our warehouses or showrooms- not due to industrial bug killer but rather due to good old fashioned cleaning.

Bottom line we will treat you respect.  We value integrity and honesty and our most important goal of the day is to work an honest day and do honest deals.

Prepare to meet a new kinds of Restaurant Equipment Dealership where integrity matters, and service is important.  True there are many poor dealers in the nation and we shudder when we hear stories of deception and thievery, but there are some good dealers.  We strive to be one of them and to raise the standard for sales of new and used food service equipment

Restaurants Helping the Community- Monthly Donations

November 2, 2008

One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment’s main donation for the month of September was to Hospice the Comforter in Volusia County (earlier this year we donated to the Altamonte Springs arm of this organization).  In October we decided to donate to Pathways – a homeless shelter for the mentally ill located in Orlando.  We will be posting more<often> silently doing in Central Florida.  We also made in-kind donations to the local Fire Department and a local church.

We work very closely with not-for-profits like churches, daycares, schools, service organizations, nursing homes and the like to provide low-cost food service equipment.  In fact last month we were able to work with a local Home Owner’s Association to provide some discounted equipment!   How do we choose which organizations we give cash donations to?  This actually is something we discuss in our staff meetings and come to consensus on.  So, if you’re interested in being a topic of discussion, please do drop us a line and give us some info on your organization.

At One Fat Frog we thank you for your repeat business.  It’s your support that allows us to give back to OUR community.

Even Disney celebrates Chefs!

November 4, 2008

I saw this amazing Chef at Disney.  Yup- he’s a scarecrow.  There was also the school lunch lady standing next to him- I will try to upload both for your viewing pleasure. 

Now beyond looking like a favorite chef of mine… or is it an old boyfriend who owns a restaurant ;) … hahaha

The gal below reminds me of the first gal I had cooking at the school.  She was a pretty typical school lunch lady and would have cooked with a cigarette in her mouth had I let her… okay well maybe that is taking it too far and stereotyping but we can all flashback to the lunchlady of our Charlie Brown Childhood and smile.  Ihave also provided this picture for those of us who spend too much time at our desks and on our computers, in your errrr… my honor our honor I give you a little desk exercise program, as you shift your head to the left to better see the .jpg please repeat after me, “1- 1000″… repeat this in a set of 10 and make your old PE teacher happy (Bently and Richeson, you know who you are).

School lunch lady scarecrow @ Disney

School lunch lady scarecrow @ Disney

Okay, so Mr. IT still has to work with me on how to reverse a picture.  In the meantime we’ll all get our neck (are those tripezius workouts or what?- again my high school PE teacher would be proud of me and realize I got a bit more from PE than how to warm a bench… okay, I also one managed to peg the telephone pole in the outfield when I was throwing a ball back in, everyone laughed and that was the end of my career in PE) looking slim and svelte.

Peace, love and pop rocks from One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment

What makes us a full-service restaurant equipment dealer at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment?  Call 407.936-FROG and find out the difference!

This is a good question and merits some explanation.  A full-service dealer is one who offers support of the client, installation, delivery, and repair services.  Now, running a full-service dealership obviously is more expensive than simply hiding behind a computer terminal.  That being said it also benefits the customer moreso than someone hiding behind a computer or working from a storage unit.

What does a full-service dealer do?  They iron out the inevitable issues with supply, demand, delivery and installation.  Have issues with the product?   We do our best to handle it all and make it right.  This is our guarantee to you.

At One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment we provide the foodservice industry with the quality equipment, smallwares, furniture and supplies at an affordable price.  We are a full-service dealer centrally located in Orlando FL and serving the state of Florida and national and international clientele.  We supply restaurants, clubhouses, golfcourses, hotels, country clubs, motels, private schools, preschools, institutions, government bid, daycares, c-stores, bars, hospitals, fast food, concessions, catering, coffee shops and similar businesses with the equipment they need to operate.

Are you looking for something on our site?  Give us a call at 407-936-FROG so that we may help you personally.  That individual touch is what makes the difference between an anonymous big computer dealer and a personalized sales experience.

As full-service dealers we are able to arrange the following services and meet your needs: pre-construction, design, layout, consulting, business plans, project management, installation, service, startup planning, financing, leasing, plans, CAD drawings, box build out, remodel, flooring, security, hood systems, dishwashing dishmachine sanitation machines and leasing, sales, lease and finance of all equipment you might need from refrigeration or freezers, to gelato cases, ice cream machines, ice makers, convection and combi ovens, bar equipment, sinks, stainless steel work tables, and many more items.

What are you looking for?  We sell equipment from all of the leading manufacturers.  We are familiar with many brands and come across used equipment extensively and can give you information on longevity and how equipment holds up over time.  This differs from the strictly new dealers who only work with new equipment.  

At One Fat Frog New & Used Restaurant Equipment sells new and used restaurant equipment and supplies through a showroom and warehouse in Orlando FL and online.  The main website features product information, FAQs, product specifics and cut sheets on both new and used equipment.  Often it is difficult to find information from manufacturer’s or from their websites, let New Used Restaurant Equipment help you.

We liquidate and auction equipment from Fortune 500 and small businesses.  New Used Restaurant Equipment also buys, sells and accepts trade ins.  Equipment is shipped promptly and efficiently nationally and internationally.

Equipment finance and lease programs for new and used equipment.  We are a full-service dealer who can assist you in any of your food service industry needs.  We have partners throughout the field who can assist in new construction & renovations of space, build outs, drawings and approvals, engineering, floors, walls, tiles, ceilings, paneling, trim, woodwork, counters- granite and laminate, display cases, countertop displays, buffets and sneezeguards, remodeling, tiles and tiling, concrete floor renewal, kitchen consulting, design and layout, floors and ceilings.  We can help you with everything you need to startup your new business- from classes and testing for Food Service Manager certificate to books and resources from our new restaurant resource center.

We also are full-service liquidators and can help you with appraisal for bankruptcy, UCC or landlord/ lessee situations, assist you in some sort of quick financial sale such as organizing an auction or can also accept equipment on contract / consignment for sale ; One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment and New Used Restaurant Equipment also works with all sorts of equipment and furniture liquidation from small mom and pop to regional chains and franchises.  When we liquidate we will purchase the entire restaurant- front of the house to back of the house.

Restaurant Equipment Dealer One Fat Frog Expands

November 5, 2008

One of our out-of-town clients came in on Monday and was suprised to see a wall knocked out and our showroom and warehouses doubled in the front. Turns out she hadn’t been to see us since we did the two other warehouse additions either. So, I guess it’s about time I keep those of you who don’t come in and visit up to speed on our growth.

Restaurant_Equipment_for_sale

Restaurant_Equipment_for_sale

Last email blast I told you a bit about our expansion and I’m excited to say our phone lines and IT connections are finally in place. Now we’re down to some serious IT work and unveiling bits and pieces of our websites.

You’ve probably already been to our main website One Fat Frog Main website

So now it’s about time I give you links to the other sites that are up and running: Inventory of new & used equipment in showroom & warehouses
and we also have a website with tons of product info and faqs.

So, if you haven’t stopped by them yet please do. In my spare time I try to post fun items that friends and customers send me in email and also little stories about what we’re up to here at work as beyond the name, One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment is a pretty funny place to work.


Pathways Homeless Shelter Mentally Ill like Coalition for the Homeless Orlando, FL

November 5, 2008

TO ASSIST PATHWAYS DROP IN CENTER  call Lt. Deanne Adams at 407-448-8301

The following information is quoted with permission from the Orlando Sentinel blog of Bruce Larson. I had the good fortune of crossing his blog on the Sentinel and then posting a few comments. He saw that we enjoy working with various charities and sent me a note saying I should check out this post. I have to agree with Bruce, this is a very noteworthy charity. It’s tragically underfunded and so I’m going to champion it a bit on the internet to help raise awareness in the Greater Central Florida area.

As many of you locals may be aware, Central Florida is home to many homeless as our temperatures are much milder and more hospitable to someone transient or living outdoors. As the mental institutions began to release their clients, more and more folks were homeless or found themselves with inadequate housing and moreso inadequate resources for mental health related issues.

Now we’re all familiar with groups like Coalition for the Homeless, Habitat for Humanity (don’t they have a great home building thrift in Sanford?) … and certainly we’ve donated in the past to the Rescue Outreach Mission in Sanford (Seminole County’s only homeless food kitchen!)… but have we forgotten about this underserved population.

Okay, okay, I admit to having a bleeding heart. I am typing with tears in my eyes, thinking about how many of my friends are raising money for Cancer Awareness (and that is so important- doesn’t my family know it- keep praying for Eric’s miracle- thank you) or the MDA Lockup but wondering how many know about this organization? Back in the day when I was young, cute, a size 8 and worked as a social worker – in fact my title was Intensive Crisis Counselor of Lake and Sumter Counties (try saying that quickly three times) I had real issues finding resources for my mentally ill clients. It was one thing to get a diagnosis, another hope to get social security funding and an entirely other hope to get them in a stable home environment.

So, I pray that you will consider sharing what little you have. This isn’t a charity that drives around in Cadillacs, in fact most of their monies go to running the drop-in center and providing for these folks. We all have family that needs help- isn’t it time that we give back to the community? If I gave up just one Big Mac a week and encouraged five of my friends to do that and they encouraged five of their friends (geez, I wish I’d been a math teacher way back- speak up here Chris and Cindy if you’re around) then that would add another $500 to the weekly budget then well we’d really be helping out.

Can you take a moment to donate? Even $5 will make a big difference.

I recently posted a blog about the statistics on volunteering in Orlando. According to the Corporation for National and Community Service, Orlando ranked 49th of the nation’s 50 largest cities (1st being the highest level of volunteers and 50th the lowest).

However, while visiting the Pathways Drop-In Center on Friday, those statistics were hard to believe. The outpouring of community action was evident as church groups, contractors, corporations and individuals came to the aid of this non-profit organization for mental illness.

Dsc_8850axOrganized by Lt. Deanne Adams of the Orange County Correctional Department and Karen Bono, an Orlando real estate investor, the Pathways Renovation Project saw a healthy start. More than fifty members of the First Baptist Church of Central Florida sent carpenters, plumbers, painters and general helpers to assist in this much needed program.

Local companies also offered their assistance. Arby’s and Long John Silvers provided lunches, Massey Services pledged to furnish pest control, Ace Hardware contributed paint and other supplies. Home Debbie Feree Depot and Rexel Lighting donated home improvement items, Old Castle laid the bricks and mortar while Waste Services of Florida dropped off and picked up several 40 yard waste containers full of broken tables, torn and stained sofas, and yard debris.

Donald, who is better known as “Bear,” has suffered from severe depression for over 7 years. He saw no hope to do much of anything. When he returned the other day from Bible study, Bear entered his apartment and his expression radiated with excitement. Almost immediately, he began listing the things he wanted to do with his remodeled home, things that just didn’t matter to him before.

Edwin, another resident, was glad to see all these improvements. “It was depressing to be here,” he said, “it’s good to see all these nice things happening at Pathways and all the people who are volunteering their time.” Edwin was relieved that the tree roots that made it difficult for those confined to a wheelchair to maneuver over were removed and replaced by bricks.

Dsc_8885ax Ruth and her son, Kevin, live in the apartment adjacent to Edwin’s. She, too, said that she feels better about the center and about her home now. They didn’t have a kitchen before, but the renovation project is installing one for them and while the apartment is disorganized right now, Ruth can envision what it will look like on completion.

Debbie Ferree, one of the volunteers from First Baptist Church of Central Florida, finds Dsc_8889axa great deal of satisfaction from donating her time. “I love helping people and I hope this work serves as a testimony to the community.”

“All of our volunteers receive more than we give. It is only when you give that you can receive,” Clayton Cloer, Senior Pastor at the church explained. “It is the open hand principle. God can’t place anything into a closed hand. Our people open their hand to give and God fills the hand with blessings. We are reminded of how blessed we all are every time we serve someone else.” Cloer also called upon the community for continued support. “We pray that the blessings of God will come upon the Pathways ministry. We pray that the community will step up and supply all the needs that the ministry has so that our beloved fellow citizens can be cared for.”

Alternative Community Service Workers and the Work Release Inmates have also been helping out with the project under the direction of Community Corrections Officer Duane Chamberlain. They have been putting in hundreds of man hours painting, cleaning, and yard work to help with the project,” according to Lt. Deanne Adams of the Orange County Correctional Department.

On Saturday, we returned to the center and found an even greater number of volunteers working in every area of the four buildings. A few familiar faces were back again and many more new ones came to contribute to this worthy cause.

Nelson_kull Founder and Director of the Pathways Drop-In Center, Nelson Kull, toured the progress of the project on Saturday. Suffering from schizophrenia himself, Kull expressed his profound appreciation for all those who are helping.

Still, the work is far from completed. Some of those who said they would come to help or contribute supplies, failed to honor their obligation. This caused the project to reach deeper into their funds than they had originally expected. Furthermore, the lives of the residents and drop-ins are disrupted. They like familiar things and familiar surroundings. While the renovations are welcomed, they want to get their newly remodeled residences set back up again. Presently, plumbing is being reworked, furniture has been pushed to the center of the rooms and some kitchen cabinets are removed waiting for replacements.

Adams said that “this has been the hardest project I have ever worked on in my life, but one of the most rewarding. It’s my hope that the community will continue to see the incredible need at the Pathways Center and want to reach out their hand to a hand in need.”

HOW TO DONATE Please contact Karen Bono at 407-760-9033 or Lt. Deanne Adams at 407-448-8301 for further information. Monetary donations may be mailed to: NAMI Greater Orlando, 1800 Mercy Drive, Suit 103, Orlando, Florida 32808. Checks may be made out to Pathways Renovation Project.

Pathways Drop-In Center and the Pathways Renovation Project are 501(c)3 non-profit organizations and your donations are tax deductible.

========

So are you looking for a tax deduction? Feeling like you would like to donate to a worthwhile charity in Orlando, Altamonte, Oviedo, Winter Springs, College Park please do donate – encourage your employer and workplace to donate. Encourage your child’s private school, public school, daycare and church to donate. Give freely, give generously and live. For if we lived in a cave by ourselves how could we enjoy life and how could we share the beauty which is ours.

Blessings-


Another workplace point

November 5, 2008

At the risk of our sale being buried below under very important posts (go down about four posts and see our huge sale of new & used restaurant equipment in stock

I just have to get this off my chest:

restaurant supply hospitality food service dealer sale discount cheap

restaurant supply hospitality food service dealer sale discount cheap

  1. Yes, I whistle like a pitiful three year old learning how to whistle.
  2. Yes, I whistle when I’m very happy (which is a lot of the time).
  3. Yes, I can only whistle a note or two very softly.
  4. Yes, I only learned how to whistle when I was in my 20s.
  5. Yes, I initially only whistled by inhaling the air, now I have progressed to also pushing air out.

So, I’m whistling impaired. I admit it. I’m out of the closet. Now where do I get a whistling tutor? Really I don’t think it’s that bad.. it’s not like it ever stopped me from getting a job or finding a spouse. I’ve gone one with my life in spite of it.

This is for that person in the office who harrasses teases jokes about my whistling skills. Truth be know I would aspire to be like this whistling video that won’t pop up on the blog- but please click through it’s funnnnnneeee

In fact maybe we could adopt this as One Fat Frog’s Theme Song and I will begin working on it with my whistling tutor?

Added note: anyone comes in tomorrow singing the whistling song I will a) take them out to lunch or b) buy them a can of Arizona Ice Tea. <correction- not singing the whistling song, but rather whistling the whistling song>

more Halloween Pictures

November 5, 2008

Here are pictures of the Halloween Trick or Treating when Brightstart Pediatric care came over.  What a great time!  If you have time to go through the rest of their Halloween pictures there are some closeups of our little favorites the pirate and hula dancer.  May I say the highlight of my day is not selling restaurant equipment (okay well some days that is pretty peachy keen), but rather I really enjoy watching the children next door grow.  Dear, dear hula girl is a little one that I’ve watched begin to walk and then become steady.  She is a child with a bright smile and great energy and I feel blessed every time I see her out of her daily walk.  She is curious and happy and well, don’t all of us adults need more of that in our lives?

Have a pretty fabulous day out there in restaurant land, I can tell you we’re having a great one here at the Frog!


Height… it’s arbitrary

Women wish they were shorter, men wish they were taller.  Mr. IT and another man who shall remain unnamed both claim to be 5 foot 10.  Now Mr. IT (IT being short for Ice Tea? or Internet technology?) is blaming “these shoes are flat”…

Me, I’m just wishing I was five foot four… then all men are tall

Mr. IT and the extension cords, part deux

November 5, 2008

So if you’ll remember in this post, Mr. IT stole the boss’ extension cord/ multi-plug.  That day will go down in One Fat Frog history.  <secret high five to Mr. IT>

The other nite we were working on phone lines (okay, I’m making it sound like I was working on the phone lines, really we had a company come in and hook us up- no pun intended) and look what Mr. IT did with the new extension cords that we bought for him:

Mr. IT's new extension cord

And why does Mr. IT have all of these multiplugs strung together?  Well I believe because he can…. hahahahha

November 5, 2008

Thank you for the unbelievable support. We have had several businesses and owners offer to meet with Lt. Deanne Adams about Pathways. I also apologize I put an incorrect phone number up for Lt. Deanne Adams, correct number should read: 407-448-8301

Thanks for helping Pathways Orlando Charity

Thanks for helping Pathways Orlando Charity

Pathways website shared the following about their organization:

Pathways is a community mental health center that delivers phenomenally cost effective services to the seriously and persistently mentally ill by using their peers to deliver those services with the special insight that the brutal experience of mental illness gives those who survive it. We are role models for the possibility of recovery. We have zero tolerance for illegal drugs, alcohol, and aggression. Our purpose is to solve problems. We are not about blame or guilt. However we are about responsibility. Our services range from food to clothing and recreation, however for mental health consumers in need of help, the limit of our services is our time and other limited resources. All services are free except for rental housing. The only criteria for service is having experienced mental illness. We believe that we have created one of the safest places in Central Florida in a low income neighborhood that is sometimes troubled at night. We are located in this area because, this is where the mentally ill often live in Florida due to their frequent poverty.

Mr. IT GUY is famous

November 7, 2008

Well now it seems we may just have to buy Mr. IT guy his cape and superhero costume…. or at least have our graphic artist draw it up… he now officially exists outside of our universe.

Take a moment to check out this very funny site- you will love it.   If you want to see the original post about Mr. IT guy and why they linked to little old One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment, then here it is for Friday giggles.    So, at the risk of building up Mr. IT Guy’s ego— <doing happy dance> he’s famoooooous.  And you know what, I know him and that makes me one degree away from internet famous.  Actually since I sit in the cubicle next to him that makes me even more than famous.  - pics of his cubicle later today.  No pictures of my pigsty cubicle- it’s way baaaaaad.

Stay tuned for more antics of Mr. IT GUY..  He is back to drink Arizona Ice tea, BTW, we were worried that he had given it up for good and what could we tease him about?  He came in the other day with two drinks from Dunkin’ Donuts- yes he really did and I think (2) bagels.  We were worried for a few days that it was the end of our Arizona Ice Tea Holiday cheer tree and how could we build it with dirty Starbucks cups?  But, I’m happy to say, he arrived to work today with three jumbo Arizona Ice Teas so we’re back in business!

UPDATE: The boss came in, found out MR. IT GUY is famous and told him, “MR. IT GUY, you’re famous, you don’t have to take it anymore, rise up.”


Friday is scratch off day at the Frog

November 7, 2008

On Fridays we have this little ritual (only on days when I’m not having bouts of Alzheimers or running tragically late) that everyone gets a scratch off ticket.  One our our techs (the one who wears deoderant) had a little streak running and I actually asked him to scratch my ticket a few weeks running.  Then MR. IT GUY- who had never scratched off tickets prior to working at the frog (yes, I guess if he becomes a gambling addict our employee assistance program will have to help him with that one since we’re to blame) won.  He still hasn’t turned in the ticket yet.  But when he does…. free Arizona Ice Teas for everyone!

So I haven’t scratched my ticket yet.  <fingers crossed> that it’s the $500 one.  … blah, one of those close ones… no go.

The True case pictured to the right is just one of several sizes of the True flat top display cases we have in stock.  If you look really good my picture is in the reflection- I’m the skinny one you’re looking at.  (Yes, remind me of my high cholesterol doctor’s visit the other day and no the Fat in Fat Frog is not from me… but I guess it could be.  )  So, we have this case in several sizes ranging from something about 48 inches -ish to 98 inches-ish.  Sounds pretty official, eh?  All cleaned up, tech tested, double check, refrigeration tested and ready go go.  Like the flat top because you can merchandise up on it.

Here is a picture of the other style of case we have.  We have smaller cases and larger ones in stock.

What is a fast food restaurant?

December 12, 2008

As an everyday consumer of food, you just don’t say to your family, “hey, let’s go out for fast casual food or how about some fast food?”  This will be a quick guide for all of the above to explain a quick overview courtesy of One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment- we ship international.  Call (407) 936-2733 to discuss your needs.

A fast food restaurant is very different than a fast casual chain, casual or coffee house.  Bet you didn’t know there were so many variations on casual in the food industry!  In a fast food restaurant you will self-serve at a counter.  There is no wait staff nor is there a busboy to clear your table.  Seating is self-serve, too.  A fast food restaurant generally has a drive up window and several cash registers/ lines in the front of the house.  There will be garbage can coverups and dump stations, booths and tables with chairs.

Traditional fast food in American culture is the good old hamburger and french fries.


Food service industry overviews

November 9, 2008

In America we tend to call refer to it as the food service / foodservice industry wile in the UK it may be called the catering industry.  Despite the name difference, we’re all speaking about the same thing- food prepared in an environment that isn’t your mom’s kitchen.  This might mean food is prepared at a private school or preschool environment- cafeteria food.  Perhaps it’s at a restaurant, hospital or lounge.  Maybe even food at a convenience store…

Did you know that food service sales to providers such as restaurants and institutional facilities like hospitals are estimated to be in excess of $400 billion dollars annually?  And contrast this to what is sold in grocery outlets- a very similar number- so realize that our society’s changes are shifting our economy.  With that in mind, one of the largest employers in the US is the food service industry.  So as we’re seeing a settling in the economy we’re seeing job markets change, too.

The effect and impact of trends in the international food service industry should not be overlooked.

If you’re interested in purchasing new or used equipment or furniture please call (407) 936-2733


Startup: fast food franchise versus independently owned

December 12, 2008

This brief guide is courtesy of One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment as part of our startup series.  Call (407) 936-2733 or email sales@onefatfrog.com or stop in the cash n’ carry showroom at 1137 West Airport Blvd, Sanford, FL 32773 to discuss your food service needs.

Are you seeking to start up a fast food restaurant?  There are several things to consider:  will you franchise or build your own independent facility?  The upside of franchising is simply support- from build out to advertising- the franchise can and should offer you manuals, consultants and in essence the knowledge so that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. You can leverage their buying power when purchasing consummables and equipment.

If you start your own independent fast food facility there is considerably less financial outlay in some areas from the initial franchise fee to the regular franchise fees.  You also have considerably more leeway in pricing and marketing your menu and restaurant.  However, don’t be disappointed and think you have to pay top dollar for equipment, shop with One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment and save.  Call (407) 936-2733 to discuss your needs.

Coming soon- further information on fast food including drive up needs.

Frog Fu- we were making jokes …

November 11, 2008

So we’re here teasing Mr. IT GUY about going karate on someone and he says, well it would be funny if I hadn’t taken 3 years of karate.  I guess he mastered black belt level and then stopped.

Me, I took two years of karate and never made it past white belt.

The bossman said…

November 11, 2008

The boss man said, “Don’t tell folks they can look at this website when they’re driving!” (Oh yeah and did I mention he laughed about the Mr. IT Guy entries except for the five foot ten one… errr…shoot I got caught on that one even though I didn’t mention him by name… or was he just guilty because we’ve talked about it before?). Pete (not Pete Tech) don’t encourage him to become ed-jum-a-cated again and read the site or you steal all of our fun in the workplace. He’s getting wise to our ways. Really it’s sort of like that TV show The Office, I mean if everyone was in on the joke, well then would Pam really think it was that funny? Speaking of Pam, if you’re wondering what I look like, I’m sort of like Pam a lot. Okay, that’s pushing it but come in and see for yourself.

So, for those that need it, here’s our disclaimer on using pda and mobile devices in the workplace, restaurant, community and car:

The long awaited post… Mr. IT Guy’s cubicle

November 11, 2008

The cubicles at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment have been lovingly renamed “the pods” to go along with the “North 40″ aka “UB 40.” You can see we’re pretty fond of nicknames here at One Fat Frog Food Service Equipment Company aka The Frog.

So last week I took a few pictures of Mr. IT Guy’s cubicle.

Mr. IT Guy and his Arizona Ice Tea collection

Mr. IT Guy and his Arizona Ice Tea collection

Let it be known that he tried to decorate it once with Arizona Ice Tea aluminum cans but when we told him he would have to wash them out- lest we get a roach infestation at the frog, he declined and began recycling them. So now he’s sort of given up on that collection. He’s moved on…

Are you prepared?

Serious can you handle it?

You are going to die laughing….

Mr. IT guy has a new collection, but I don’t think it’s really a collection, maybe the beginning of a hoarding problem of the size of which might get him on Oprah. Yes, you know the tv show.

So here’s a picture of Mr. IT Guy’s new collection…

Mr. IT Guy's cubicle collection

Mr. IT Guy

And you’re probably going to ask me, ‘girl, what is that?’

Well the interesting part of the picture is the little green egg clock I have on my desk that wobbles and weebles (not so funny since I have Vertigo- time for another blog update and thus why my little fleet fingers have been quiet). So the interesting basket is my cubicle too. But in the front you’ll see the collections of Mr. IT Guy… yes, he’s been hoarding ketchup, mayonnaise and plastic forks/ knives and napkins. It’s becoming a little excessive and we may have to dedicate a little blurb in our employee manual, an addition from the HR department, “Employees shall keep their cubicles free of any and all food sans that which they are currently involved with eating. Any food items sitting on a desk and not consummed withing a normal shift must be put in the employee refrigerator (note to self, need to get that plugged in) or put the garbage can before maintenance cleans for the day. In addition, any collections of non-food related items must number in under 3 (keeping that number there for an possible future obsessive compulsives who join our staff- sure wouldn’t want to discriminate since we are an EOE equal opportunity workplace) must be removed to your home, automobile, storage unit or local museum for safe-keeping.

Yup, Well Mr. IT Guy… what can we say. We are prodding him to have an employee get together at his house on the lake, but I think he’s on to us, he knows someone will bring their camera and take pictures to upload to our site…

Okay, enough fun for the day boys and girls, back to packing up in hopes of getting out of this joint.

Addition, do you have a funny cubicle picture to share?  Or how about a back of the house picture that we can post anonymously?  Do send it to:  info@onefatfrog.com


Who are we?

November 11, 2008

Well you might find humor in who we are?

We are the big fat green frog.  Yup, it’s funny what folks search for us by.  But they’re searching.  More to come some day about our name.  With a name like One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment there should be a funny store about it and guess who it has to do with… yup, Mr. Bossman.  So I’ll save that fodder for another day and still endeavoring to go home yet tonite.  Unlike other potato eating people who are still at their computer.

<drumroll please> and it’s only 9:21 in the a.m…..<extended drumroll… becoming tommy lee floating over the audience drumroll> and the announcer says in the deep voice… El Salvador and Switzerland.

So, which one is further as the crow flies or dollar exchanges?

Always fun to see where our customers are coming from.  In the past we’ve had Singapore, western Europe and South America… but I think this may be a first for El Salvador.


A short list of countries

November 12, 2008

So here we go, boys and girls, a short list of countries around the world and those we have travelled to, sold to or just wish they were countries. Now, why am I saying this? Well yours truly, aka google-girl, just did a nifty little search and found that the main resource for all knowledge in the western world (Wikipedia) and other resources vary in how many countries there are in the world.

Well, whether you’re a country, an aspiring state or just a recognized area, One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment will sell to you- just check out our restaurant equipment world wide website and let us work with you via the internet.
and for those of you who have nothing else to do I will add commentary to each country in case you need more reading. <insert song Countin’ Flowers on the wall– let’s all sing along: Countin’ flowers on the wall,
That don’t bother me at all.
Playing Solitaire till dawn,
With a deck of fifty-one.
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.
Now, don’t tell me I’ve nothing to do.>

(This post is dedicated to the Bossman who we have heard dearly loved Captain Kangaroo as a child).

Don't you love Captain Kangaroo?

A song called Ticks… by Brad Paisley

November 12, 2008

So it seems we get stuck listening to the Webmaster’s songs looping through the warehouse. When he does let us out of his loops we try to listen to other music. Last night with Dancing with the Stars I listened to Brad Paisley’s song “Ticks”… I still can’t believe I was singing to a song about ticks. Here, listen:

Yes, absolutely he is singing “I’d like to check you for ticks”


WWF Frog

November 12, 2008

Set out a line, charge cover fees and you’ve got a girl brawl on your hands.  So Mr. Webmaster’s new idea we will not sell restaurant equipment, we will dress up in some sort of costumes and do wrestling.  What and will the techs sell beer and peanuts?

Thanks, Mr. IT Guy, let’s secure www.wwffrog.com while it’s still available.  What Mr. IT Guy doesn’t know is that I wrestly 3 and 5 year olds when not at work… watch out, Mr. IT Guy.  Your life’s dream as Hulk Hogan might never be realized.  Imagine that you won’t be getting much traction in that green costume

Hari-Kari kinda day

November 12, 2008

So it’s just been one of those days.  I told Mr. IT Guy maybe I would just take a little break and commit Hari Kari.  He did not know what it was, so for his edification:

Hari kari, also known as sepuku, is an ancient form of ritual suicide that defeated samurai, or those whose shame was ‘too unbearable’ would use to restore their honor in death. In sepuku, one would take a wakizashi (short sword) and dissembowel oneself. The less noise you made while doing this, the braver you were and therefore the more honorable, however this did not last long as not long after you had begun, a close friend, comrade, or enemy would put you out of your misery by cleaving your head from your shoulders in one swift blow of the katana (another japanese sword). Even though in modern times the prospect of decapitating one of your friends or relatives sounds completely against normal ‘friendly’ behavior, being asked to asist your friend or enemies’ escape from shame was considered a great honor, as was using this as a tool to escape. This is why the in the imperialistic wars that followed japan’s modernisation post Admiral Perry’s opening of it in 1853 to the west, the Japanese had no concept of the POW, as they believed that a combatant should either fight to the last breath, or if captured, die ‘honorably’ in ritual suicide, known as hari kari or sepuku. A good example of this ritual can be found in Tom Cruise’s movie “the last samurai.”  <yes, I chopped that off the web with the best of them>

Promises- no mortuary jokes


Dear Mr. IT Guy

November 13, 2008

Dear Mr. IT Guy,

I feel a need to respond to your comment this morning, “why does everyone in the office want to put me in conflicts?”  Well, simply put because it’s fun.  You’re such a mellow mannered dude, you are even keeled and we really would like to rattle your cage.

I am very impressed that you have bagged up your collections of ketchup, mayonnaise and forks to make a more clean workspace in your cubicle.  I am also much relieved that there may be a holiday tree at our place of business now that you have begun drinking both Arizona Ice Tea and Dunkin’ Donuts Coolatas at the same time.  It’s an interesting thing to share cubicles with you and watch your caffeine addiction grow.  I do have to preface this that you should be aware that these substances are addicting and various side effects such as jitters, hyper-speech and headaches can occur when addicted to caffeinated substances.

Please, Mr. IT Guy, just keep being you; don’t let Mr. Bossman’s stories go to your head, don’t let our joking bother you, you’re an IT guy and be proud of it.  Don’t feel bad that you’re trying to do everything in code when there’s a WYSIWIG window available… in fact maybe someday we’ll let you post on the blog, although I may have to start being normal if that happens.  We love you and love posting stories about you, so don’t stop drinking Arizona Ice Tea.

Thanks,

your co-workers

P.S. and despite what the warehouse guys I mean the office gals I mean The Bossman may say about your jokes, I will always laugh at them, even if they’re weak


Mortuary Jokes… in good taste or bad?

November 13, 2008

Popular demand for mortuary jokes… so please skip this post if dark humor isn’t your cup of tea.  We’re not that good for mortuary jokes, Mr. IT Guy says he tends to stick to the LIVE jokes. He’s saying “a skeleton walked into the bar….” and he forgot the punchline. Sorry no live wires here, we will work on digging up some for you.  <no pun intended>

But you know what I promised you in the last post, Mr. IT GUY, I will always laugh at your jokes.  MUHAHAHAHAH

Frog jokes… with our name we need a sense of humor

November 14, 2008

So I’ve had a few requests for jokes.  I decided against the funeral home jokes, but in their place I’ll put some bad, poor taste and drumroll please jokes about Frogs.  And let me tell you, if we didn’t get offended by these then you better laugh. You know with a name like One Fat Frog it’s always funny calling the stuffy CEO’s office.  While we’re widely known in food service circles, some banks have not heard of us.  My funniest story is the “executive assistant” who took my call.

take a close look

take a close look

ME:  Hello, this is <insert my name here> from One Fat Frog, I’m returning a call to <insert name here>.

STUFFY EXEC ASST:  Thank you for calling, can you please repeat that. (while trying to maintain uber-air of seriousness)

ME:  Hello, This is <insert my name here, curse words not allowed> from One Fat Frog.  I’m returning a call to <insert name here>.

STUFFY EXEC ASST:  Can you please repeat that again; who are you with?

ME:  (at about this time I clue in, they’re baffled, certainly a business would never call themselves Fat… it’s just not PC.  Yet, they’re not going to risk embarrassment and repeat it).  Yes, I’m with One Fat Frog.

STUFFY EXEC ASST:  Okay, so you’re with One Splat Frog OR VARIATION you’re with One Mat Frog OR VARIATION you’re with One At Frog <note to self, STUFFY EXEC ASST will never bring self to say word FAT>

ME:  Yes, It’s FAT like big and fat, ribbit ribbit

STUFFY EXEC ASST:  Oh.  <insert brain clicking here>

ME:  It’s okay to laugh.  We don’t take ourselves too seriously, our name is meant to be a joke.  <insert me laughing and STUFFY EXEC ASST becoming human>

Now if you found that one funny, imagine our baby years, we’re not well known and Central Florida has not heard of us so every conversation is “what, did you say One Fat Frog?!”  So, Mr. Bossman would make an outgoing return phone call and try to mumble it “Hi, this is Mr. Bossman from … mumble…mumble…mumble… Restaurant Equipment…. Yes, I’m with mumble..mumble. “  It was almost as fun to watch him squirm as it is to torture STUFFY EXEC ASST.

Really if you’re ever up for a bit of phone fun- it’s almost as humorous as those phone pranks we made back in the day prior to caller ID (Hello, is your refrigerator running?  Well, you better go get it now.  Do you have Prince Phillip in a can?  Well you better let him out.)

Frog-o-phone dial 407-936-FROG

Frog-o-phone dial 407-936-FROG

In fact we sort of have a rhythm going in the office that when we hear someone we will go over and count how many times they repeat themselves to the STUFFY EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT.

One Fat Frog- bringing mirth, smiles and laughter to offices, restaurants and businesses globally.  It’s not a sin to laugh, in fact it’s rather healthy to laugh.  Smile, you might like it!

Now on to our promised reallllllllllly baaaaad jokes.  In fact they beat anything Mr. Bossman or Mr. IT Guy might tell at work.

sorry we ambushed you Mr. IT Guy

November 14, 2008

So Mr. IT Guy says, ” I will be back in a few, I’m running to Walgreen’s to get an <drumroll pleasE>  Arizona Ice Tea. “  He is trying to run out, I can see him running away.

I reply, “wait a minute, I’ll take one.”  He comes back, I give him the $5 bill.  He turns around, trying to sprint away.

But wait… it’s Mr. Bossman. “Wait, where are you going?”

<insert Mr. IT Guy trying to run out of office. He politely stops but you can tell he reeeeeeeeeally needs to go get his ice tea fix >

“Oh wait, I’ll take something.”

“I want some honey roasted cashews”  <gives Mr. IT GUY the moolah who starts to run away for the ? 3rd time?>

“And I don’t want pieces, no pieces, I only want whole.”

——

Mr. IT Guy comes back, looking a bit stressed, “Hey, uhmmmm…. well, uhhhh, <he is nervous about telling Mr. Bossman something> well, so I have some bad news, they didn’t have any Cashew pieces, they only came in wholes, so I hope you’re okay with that.”

He’s dead serious.

Mr. Bossman calculates for a moment, then says, “okay, I only wanted Wholes anyway.”

Problem solved and we’re all back in Arizona Ice Tea for the Afternoon.

DISCLAIMER:  Mr. IT Guy is not fully Mr. IT Guy, he does not own rights to the persona should when and if the movie comes out.   When the film version comes up we are offering first rights of leading role of Mr. IT Guy to either Tom Hanks  or McLovin.  Mr. IT Guy and McLovin share the same glasses.

School cafeteria equipment lunch lady food service story

November 16, 2008

Publisher’s Note Synopsis When the food in the school cafeteria takes on a life of its own and spreads out as a green blob eating everything in sight, the students find there is only one way to stop it.
A school is on the run from a large, noisy, foul-smelling portion of food that has escaped from its pan in the cafeteria and is traveling through the halls, eating everything in its path.

I admit being rather interested in all things having to do with education- public, private, preschool, Florida, Montana and Idaho.  This little book just really made me crack up.  I know there are third graders curled up nationwide with this book and then cringing when they get to school.

school food service equipment

school food service equipment

For what it’s worth the school food was never bad where I worked.  Well… I admit a few places it was pretty institutional.  When I got to private school and oversaw the food service program it greatly improved- well obviously my skills coupled with (okay, let’s be real I can barely cook….) some EXCELLENT chefs and also a parent who was a head chef for Darden.  Let’s just say our food was simply delicious sometimes and not really Glop from the Green Lagoon or Alien fare.

So if you’re looking for food service equipment, come shop with the FROG.  We will get you the equipment you want at a fair price, no frills, no whistles, just good old fashioned savings from honest folks.

Let us help you out, heaven knows you have enough to do between making sure enrollment numbers are where they need to be, dealing with parents and scheduling conflicts.

We have experience working with schools.  Let us provide a competitive bid for you.  We have worked in Montana ( MT) , Idaho (ID), Washington (WA) and Florida (FL) in both public and private schools, accredited programs from ages preschool to highschool.  We can get you what you need at an affordable price.  Call 407-936-FROG or just shoot us an e-mail at sales@onefatfrog.com


Ruth Chris – a lean business model

November 17, 2008

Interesting article I tripped across on the internet.  Now to be fair it’s an old article- from circa 1990 to be fair- shoot is that really an 18 year old article?  The article about Ruth Chris Restaurant does bring up some interesting points about thinking outside the box in restaurant management and also using equipment in ways that definitely fits outside of the box.  This article is attributed to the VP of Operations at Ruth Chris back in 1990.

“We try to keep the kitchen simple so we don’t need engineers or skilled chefs to operate it,” he says. “We have the same equipment in each one: two special broilers made for us, a stacked double-convection oven, a 12-burner burner range, three deep-fat fryers, a counter-top conveyor pizza oven, a 6-foot salad station, refrigeration, a reach-in freezer, an ice machine, an ice-cream dipping box and some small items like a mixer, a slicer, scales. We also installed a cabinet-type warewasher plus a very special niece of equipment – an ultrasound cleaner, which was designed specifically for us.”

The two broilers, which are gasfired, overhead flame broilers, were designed by Ruth Fertel, founder of the chain. “Back in the beginning she knew what she wanted,” Earles says, “so she sat down with a manufacturer’s representative and worked out the details. We’ve been using them in every one of our operations ever since.”

The broilers are set at 1,800 degrees, twice the temperature for a normal flame broiler, to seal in the beef’s juices. The tops of the broilers stay hot, allowing chefs to heat up appetizers and other dishes and melt cheeses on au gratin plates.

The chain also uses some conventional equipment in unconventional ways. “We buy a pizza oven to heat our bread,” Earles notes. “It does a better job, because it’s always ready and the conveyor speed and temperature can be easily adjusted. And our salad station isn’t really a salad station; it’s a pizza station, which we find works better.

“We use the convection oven mostly for heating plates. We serve our steaks on plates heated to 450 to 500 degrees. The convection oven heats them evenly and reduces plate breakage. In the old days we heated the plates on top of the broiler and got about three servings per plate before they cracked.”

Because heating the plates results in a carbon buildup, ultrasound is used to clean them.

“Scouring takes off the glaze, and chemical soaks take too long,” Earles says. The ultrasound combined with chemicals is very quick, about seven to eight minutes to completely clean deposits off a dish.

“The unit was designed specifically for us,” he continues. “It’s a bigger version of the type of ultrasound cleaner used in the jewelry business. We also clean deposits off our au gratin dishes in it.

“Everything is washed in the warewasher after going through the ultrasound cleaning, but we ultrasonically clean plates only as they need it. We inspect daily and separate for ultrasonic cleaning those plates which show deposits.”

So here are the points I found most interesting:

  1. Simple kitchen layout & equipment – this really is epitomized by the simplicity of Five Guys Burgers.  It’s the whole KISS (Keep it simple stupid) premise that we don’t need to have a gadget to do everything.  This probably counters just about everything that society dictates to us now; the use of blackberries, iphones, shark floor steamers for home, dyson upright vaccuums, dyson handheld vaccums, cell phones, laptop computers, ipods… it all doesn’t have to be automated.  Get the equipment that you need, nothing more and nothing less.  Get deceint equipment that will last and take good care of it running preventative maintenance.
  2. Alternative use:  convection oven
  3. Alternative use:  ultrasonic warewasher
  4. Alternative use:  pizza conveyor oven

I did tour another upscale restaurant with a friend who designed the kitchen and found an entirely different outlook.  That business even had a special salad spinner that was a converted dryer…. hmmm… is that really needed in a steakhouse?

So at what point do we convert to a “lean” business model?  I believe our current business environment is dictating that all of us consider how we might become a more efficient machine… kitchen … restaurant.

This is good food for thought for the small business owner- as a startup restaurant often potential customers go to a dealer who has a “quick talking” salesperson who sells then equipment they cannot use.  You don’t need an arsenal of one-use equipment.  You should have a kitchen filled with multi-purpose and simple equipment.

Americans love convenience

November 17, 2008

Fast casual, take out, meal replacement, curbside service… look at it any way you which but food service is changing in the US.  It’s mirroring our highly indulgent instant gratification society.  Gone are the days of tv dinners, here are the days of warm foods fresh from a restaurant served on your plates at your dining room table.

One of my largest gripes is that as a society we are growing more and more ambivalent about our neighbors and relationships.  We have friends in a box and when you’re ready to be alone you just shut the computer off and they’re gone and when you’re ready for friends again you turn it back on.  We all have that umbilical cord and we use it to “keep in touch” with those important to us and also to isolate ourselves from those who are nearest to us.  (How many of you have stood in line behind someone who was too busy to acknowledge the service personnel helping them?)

It is possible in most cities now to order everything you need without ever speaking to a human.  Are you in Orlando?  Order toilet paper and dry goods through amazon – have that soap, shampoo, even baby diapers sent to you.  Join an organic coop (who no longer delivers to Sanford so in protest I refuse to give them free press here- it’s my silent protest to them… pffffft!) and you can have organic milk, orange juice, fruits and vegies all delivered.  No need to ever see a human face to face, talk to them or look them in the eye.  Need some clothes?  Awwww, that’s simple, just go to walmart’s website or target’s.

But all this internet creating “it’s a small world”… I am not sure I agree with it.  It is a small world but now we’re so busy being present with those not near us.  Now we’re busy acknowledging folks far away and ignoring our neighbors.  Central Florida is such a good example of this.  Most folks are not natives, therefore most of us do not have family or roots in the area.  In fact, look around the highly mobile area and see how many of the neighbors have lived in their home over 5 years.

So, let’s go back to meal replacement from a restaurant.  We want it quick, we want it instant and we want it to go.  Let’s all go home and hook up and disconnect.

In times of recession (let’s use 9/11 as an example) folks tend to continue spending money on luxury foods (after all- don’t we all cope by eating food?)  it just changes to a more acceptable form.  After 9/11 pizza delivery skyrocketed.  We could all sit in our homes, enjoy the food and still feel safe.  They could scare us out of the mall, but couldn’t shut down our appetite for home meal replacement.

In this recession, it’s some sort of illusion that if we are not at the restaurant then we are “cutting back” but it doesn’t stop our habits and needs for quick meal preparation.  We are still leaving for home late, working late and need the food.

So, just as technology is affecting our home and business habits, so is it affecting our eating habits.

Changing to meet the economy

November 17, 2008

This morning’s email has brought a lot of interesting information. A forward from the White Wolf Cafe speaks tremendously to being in a fluid business to survive in this economic environment. Adding on breakfast was out of the box thinking that seemed to work for them. I also left the end part of the quote on because it speaks to the five languages of love and well one can never suffer to hear more about the beautiful things in life and how we can make the world a better place. So take a moment over your morning coffee to read this and enjoy:

Well thank goodness for small wonders! Our friends at the Orlando Sentinel were kind enough to write us a fabulous review for our efforts to serve breakfasts. Serving breakfast has provided us with increased revenues which are helping us stem the outgoing tide of diminished sales from lunch and dinner due to the unfortunate economic weather we are all experiencing. While we were anticipating that breakfast would add to our revenue source not replace the revenues that we have lost we are most thankful that we did it because I believe as time goes by our country will survive. We will once again pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and manage to keep our great country great! And my wish is that we will be even better. That our values will reflect kindness, generosity, tolerance and understanding of our families, friends and neighbors. Please reach out and help someone, offer someone one of the five languages of love; an act of service, a word of affirmation, a gift, the gift of your time and the pleasure of your company, of simply the touch of your hand. Take time to make someone else’s life better. I am sure that the more we all do this the better off we will be. Do it for our young people, do it for our poor our hungry and the lonely among us but most of all just do it and you will see how much better you will feel.


Scott Joseph Orlando food critic on the White Wolf

November 17, 2008

Another quick blurb.  If you’re from Orlando you know about Scott Joseph and how he is our local food critic.   Seems that the White Wolf also received accolades from Scott Joseph ” VOTED ONE OF “ORLANDO’S TOP 10 GEMS” – SCOTT JOSEPH, ORLANDO SENTINEL FOOD CRITIC.

Now I’ve never been to the White Wolf but after that very compassionate letter and Scott Joseph’s vote, you know it’s on my list of MUST EATS.

And this just leads me to believe that indies can and will flourish and that the good guy always wins.

HAPPY MONDAY!


It’s on…

November 17, 2008

So Mr. Bossman comes in today and starts in on us, “has someone been adjusting the hydraulics on my chair?  Who’s been sitting in my chair?”  Well the answer to both of those questions was of course, “not me.  no one.”

And so Mr. IT Guy and I look at each other through the cubicles, you can see the light bulbs flashing above our heads; how could such a brilliant plan have eluded us?  This is sheer genius.  Mr. Bossman’s chair has all sorts of hydraulic levers and pulleys.  And each time he steps out in the warehouse or goes on a sales call… well, let’s just say this can end up being hours of fun and enjoyment for us at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment.

So… now that he’s given us the idea, let’s just say, “it’s on!”  Yup the game is on and we’re going to start harrassing him and messing with his chair in umpteen bazillion ways.

Oh, this is going to be fun!

And so Mr. Bossman just created a new department at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment- the Dept. of Practical Jokes and Pranks.  Stay tuned for our next meeting.  When we adjourn that we will plan our Sticky Note campaign since Mr. Bossman is so fond of sticky notes!

Mr. IT Guy & the chair

November 17, 2008

So Mr. Bossman just starts telling Mr. IT Guy… “hey, you who stole my power strip, where is my …”

And another person in the office tries to rat out Mr. IT Guy <don’t worry Mr. IT Guy, I have your back> , “nah, he stole your chair, Mr. Bossman.”

Mr. Bossman now says, “what? you stole my chair, no wonder it was set differently.”

Well, let me set that story straight, because you know he didn’t actually steal the chair.

It was another chair he stole. He is now calling it creative procurement.  Mr. IT Guy is now the proud owner of a maroon chair with lumbar support and multiple adjustments for back, arms, bottom, reclining and height.  He had no need for Mr. Bossman’s chair, he has a beautiful one he already procured.

But let me tell you, Mr. IT Guy is swift.  He does it quietly when folks are away in the restroom.  And then he’s very smart about it.  He doesn’t smile, he doesn’t laugh, he just smoothly drinks his <drumroll please> Arizona Ice Tea.

Just another day at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment- can I say we sadly sold the Arizona Ice Tea cooler that Mr. IT Guy was was eyeing?  He asked me what the employee discount was on equipment.  Can you imagine going to his home… errr shrine to everything Arizona Ice Tea ?  I imagine that cooler might be in the center of the kitchen with a large spotlight on it and angelic music playing in the background.

Huge CASH sale coming & also other stuff

November 21, 2008

Sometimes you meet folks that are just so good they renew your faith in mankind.  The last week has been that sort of week.  We’ve met so many good people, been visited by so many regular customers friends who are just the sweetest and well it’s been a good week.  And you know what, in the process we also made a few new friends.

I also have to say that in working to help Pathways I’ve come across sooooooo many nice folks in Central Florida.  Not one person has said they’re too busy to help.  In fact we’ve had folks refer friends and step up to hire professional fundraisers, to help with construction efforts and dropping off clothing.  You are wonderful and we are making a difference.

It’s been a tough week for some of our friends in this business, too.  I sit here and cry while I type this.  The W. Family had to unplug their two week old grandbaby from life support.  My heart and soul cry out as a mother to them and I wish … well words can never even begin to express what I wish.  I wish to just envelope them in one big hug and hold them until things are better.  And the loss of the child… that can never be easy.

We are getting to that time that we need to blowout equipment as we have too much coming in and not enough room in all of our warehouses; thankfully for our last expansion effort I don’t have to worry about equipment replacing my desk this time.  Keep posted at the top of this site where we will have a CASH SALE listed.  There will be crazy prices listed there.  Prepare to buy some equipment you’ve needed.

I’ll post  in a moment listing a few of the items and prices.

amazing what’s on the net

November 21, 2008

Florida has pretty open records online available.  Food inspections are available online and our local paper regularly publishes a link, too.

Today I tried a quick google of a local restaurant to pull their phone number for a follow up (yes even I get too lazy to open a customer file) and guess what I found?

On the first page of google, before the page break, was a site that publishes restaurant health scores and this restaurant’s score was listed.  I think, now more than ever, it’s important to be aware that everything you do in your restaurant is available online.

How could it dramatically affect your business if they are searching for a restaurant in your area and your name comes up with a poor score?

I also wanted to share a nifty little program for the i-phone called :urbanspoon:  This program randomly picks a local restaurant for you according to price, location, type of food, etc.

Contracts WBE WMBE Construction Subcontractor Food Service

November 25, 2008

Construction firms- are you seeking to win a bid?  The information we’re about to share can help you and One Fat Frog prevail with the nextRFP.

Federal, state, county, city and corporations have various MANDATED diversity initiatives in place.   For folks working with One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment as a subcontractor, this means that you are using a supplier base that incorporates women business enterprises.

As Americans and the International community work toward greater equity it’s important to do your part and how easy is it to do it with One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment!  So let us help you meet the quota.  We are 100% woman owned and have been since we opened our doors in 2005.

Are you working on a government contract that mandates a “diversity spend” in their contract?  This means that they must allocate 20% minimum of their contracts to women owned businesses like One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment & Supplies- we sell food service equipment, we install, we transport and we service!   We can assist in planning and all initial parts of the specification process.

We will help you meet your objectives when bidding for a government job that calls for a food service subcontractor.  We are a Tier One (direct diversity) Spend for contractors when you work with One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment.

Let’s look at the following recent situation:  A contractor or engineer wins a job to build a public facility and then purchases food service and restaurant equipment from One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment.  We are a diverse vendor.  We are 100% woman owned!  So the contractor was able to allocate the restaurant & food service equipment purchases toward its Diversity Tier One Spend as we are a WBE food service provider!

So, this means the contractor can qualify the purchases with One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment as a Tier One Spend and the federal, state, local government or corporation, in turn, is able to qualify the purchases as a Tier Two Spend through the contractor who contracted with One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment.

Yes, all of your goods and services purchased from One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment, a WBE, can be counted toward a diversity goal!

Let us be your M/WBE subcontractor- we can help you easily win the bid and help you meet diversity objectives!   We qualify as a diverse food service dealership!

So if you are a local, state or federal, FEMA, fire, police, prison purchasing agent then why not consider One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment next time you send out an invitation to bid?

Dear Mr. IT GUY

November 25, 2008

Dear Mr. IT Guy,

I know we’re only coworkers, but I have to say the girls in the office are missing you.  It’s not because you always get us lunch (we ate today without your assistance- you would be proud of us!), it’s not because we like filching candy from your stash, and it’s not because we like it when you laugh quietly at our jokes.  So, that being said we do miss you.

But now I have to admit.  Don’t take this as cheating, but tomorrow there is a NEW Mr. IT GUY in town.  Well, actually it’s the old school Mr. IT GUY, or maybe we’ll call him Mr. OG IT GUY (Mr. Old Guy IT Guy).  Now Mr. OG IT GUY is pretty easy to get along with.  He loves being on the telephone with technical services and talking about Macs, he doesn’t drink Arizona Ice Tea… and he works Thanksgiving Holiday.

We are not sure Mr. OG IT GUY has pirating abilities of your stature, so you may be safe on this vacation… but just be warned, there’s another IT GUY sitting in your cubicle this week.  Let’s just see if he can get food for the girls in the office…that’ll teach you to take time off, we might be able to hunt and gather on our own without you in the future.

Signed, your office friends

WOOD STONE Pizza Oven- FAQs & Information

November 29, 2008

Thanks to One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment for these informational quick facts about Woodstone pizza ovens.  Call 407-936- FROG if you would like to purchase a new or used pizza oven from One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment.

  1. COOKING DECK:   Wood Stone’s cooking surface is a single piece of high temperature & high quality ceramic.  Other pizza ovens are  multi-piece brick and tile floors which are easy to repair and replace; however, Wood Stone decks are built to last and never need replacement.
    Woodstone pizza oven

    Woodstone pizza oven

  2. FLOOR THICKNESS:   Wood Stone’s floors are 3-6 inches thick which varies according to Woodstone pizza oven model.   Generally wood stone says the thicker the floor the better it will retain heat during cooking.  Imagine a big raw pizza on the pizza oven floor just sucking off the heat when it’s set down.  Each pizza you put down you will find that it sucks away heat.  So if you’re doing high volume pizza on a thin deck you will find that as you go on over the day/ night the pizzas will come out blonde or undercooked.

Want more info on purchasing a pizza oven?  Call 407-936-FROG to purchase.    At One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment we ship pizza ovens nationally and internationally.  One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment sells a large selection of new and used pizza ovens ranging from :  Baker’s Pride, Blodgett, Marsal, Earthstone, Woodstone & Middleby Marshall pizza ovens.

One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment iphone ringtone

December 7, 2008

This blog entry is brought to you by someone who is tired of thinking about restaurant equipment but obviously has some weird obsession about frogs.  Or perhaps it’s a fascination?  Or perhaps it’s just dead boredom?    Yes, for you it’s a free iphone ringtone called “who let the frog out?”  Yes, you may have heard the song about dogs a few years ago. and finally it’s about frogs.  

So this is it, the corporate ringtone and we expect all employees to have it installed first thing Monday morning.

feeling kinda nice…

December 7, 2008

so, I feel like a big share tonite.  If you have a restaurant called “Alice’s” well here’s a ringtone for you:

One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment-when we say full service we mean your free themed ringtone too… hahaha
Now what other dealer has their own corporate ringtone and also gives to you?


Another One Fat Frog Ringtone

December 7, 2008

And since there is someone in the office who watched Weird Science, well here’s a special geekdome ringtone for them. Yes it will work on Iphones and other phones

here’s a thought

December 7, 2008

What’s the music you listen to in the kitchen when you’re jamming on the line?  Is it Metallica, Guns n’ Roses, or perhaps a little Looking Glass singing Brandy or Crosby Stills n’ Nash singing Southern Cross?  

Do you think the music you listen to on the line is reflected in the type of food you produce?  Who picks the channel or cd?

Charity highlight: Pathways

December 8, 2008

At One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment we pride ourselves in working with the community and we donate monthly to various charities.  Lately it seems we have focused a lot more on Pathways.  My visit there today really reaffirmed why we are working with them.  I’ll be posting more once I’ve digested fully what I saw and their needs.

For now I can say that basically any donations- monetary, in kind or targeted are more than welcome.  Tomorrow I will be posting their paypal address for donations.

The folks who benefit from Pathways were so gracious and thankful.  I know I’ve often wondered where my donated monies go with different charities.  I have no doubt at Pathways.

So if I’ve not yet asked you to donate, well look in your e-mail tomorrow as you’ll see a request.   And if you have anything in kind you need to donate you’re always welcome to drop it off at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment, 1137 W.

Eustis High School Culinary Arts Students Volunteer

December 8, 2008

Sometimes you get some heartwarming news that just needs to be shared-

Thanks to Chef Jeff for sharing this tidbit!

EHS Culinary Arts Student’s woke up early Sunday (December 7th) to feed the homeless.

8 Eustis High School students with the help in Chefs from The American Culinary Federation (ACF) met at EHS at 8:15 Sunday morning to prepare dinner for residents and homeless at the Christian Care Center (CCC) of Leesburg.  The meal consisted of Mixed Green Salad with homemade Ranch Dressing;  Turkey Parmesan; Creole Spaghetti; Eggplant Parmesan; Sautéed Fresh Squash; Homemade Italian Bread; and of course, EHS’ famous cookies.  Chef Rick Peres, CE,  Chef Matthew Dennis, CEC, and Tom See assisted Chef Rotz and his team of volunteers.  EHS’ Culinary Class is well known for its volunteer work in the community.  The class and other members from the ACF plan on volunteering at least once every 6 weeks at the Care Center.  The “Ministry Village” is located in the heart of downtown Leesburg. The Ministry Village includes a Men’s Residence, Women’s Care Center, Emergency Children’s Shelter, long-term Children’s Residential Group Home, Benevolence Ministry, Pregnancy Care Center.  The ACF Gulf to Lakes Chefs & Cooks Association is conducting a food drive to provide meals for 200 families.  We are still in need of donations of both food items and cash.  Remember, we are always looking for volunteers!
If you see any of these fine members of our community, thank them for the caring that they are willing to give.

Used inventory

December 8, 2008

We’ve had a huge run on used equipment this past two weeks.  Apologies if you’ve called and not received an immediate response.  It’s been literal days from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. running.

Please note if you call and email us about equipment, we sell it first come first serve.  We don’t hold equipment nor can we guarantee it in stock if you wait a week or two.  As one of our friendly competitors says, “Connie, if there’s one thing, you’re not a museum.”  So, even if we quote you a piece of used equipment, we can’t guarantee that it will be in stock beyond that very moment in time.

Additionally if you’re seeing items on our websites or on the internet, please do look at the date of the ad and if you’re in doubt then call and verify it’s in stock.  We’ve had a few folks come in lately asking for used items we had posted during the summer.  Would love to sell you the item, but if it’s not in, well it’s not in.

As always, happy holidays and may your restaurants continue to flourish-

Setting up your wait stations for productivity

December 9, 2008

Thanks to One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment sales@onefatfrog.com or call (407) 936-2733 for posting this information guide. Perhaps one of the often overlooked parts of the restaurant is the wait station. Back in the day when I began serving the server was not responsible for salads and desserts. If I wanted salads and desserts I went to the kitchen, if I wanted drinks I went to the bar. But nowadays serving staff is assuming more and more duties.


So, let’s talk about restaurant and lounge wait stations in regards to server needs of efficiency, sanitation and footprint. One of the best items to start with is a heavy duty stainless steel table like an Advanced Tabco table other other affordable alternatives that we have at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment. This sort of restaurant and commercial table allows for ease of cleanup. These tables come in a variety of sizes and also allow for electric hookup which means greater versatility for use with countertop appliances like Taylor  or Blend-tec or Hamilton Beach frozen drink machines, Blend-tec blenders, Bunn ice tea brewers, Astra / La Cimbali/ Futuremat / La San Marco/ WMF espresso and cappucino machines, and toasters.

Thereafter you might want to think about a handwashing sink. Please check with your local code for information on the distance it must be from the work area.  You may want to look at something built into the counter, mounted to the wall or a stand alone handwash sink.  One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment sells several makes and models at extremely affordable pricing and if you need freight- no problem-o!

The  wait station will include the beverage equipment like Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman or Cornelius ice maker (maybe mounted to the top of the soda fountain) and a water filtration system adequate enough to handle the ice maker, Cornelius soda fountain, Astra espresso machine (we sell new and used espresso machines- La Cimbali,La San Marco and Futuremat to name a few) , Bunn coffee/ tea brewer.

Think about including a small True or Beverage Air refrigerator or dry aluminum pan rack nearby for storage of desserts and prepped items- maybe salads.  One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment has affordable dessert cases starting at $1499 for refrigerated cases!  And yes we can ship them to you!

Garbage can coverups aren’t only for fast food- you might also want to consider some sort of disposal system for hidden storage of garbage and trash in the wait station. Who wants to see the coffee grinds spilling down the side of the garbage can liner?

Shelves under the table will allow you to store additional items like wine and water glass, pitchers, espresso gear, dishes and smallwares.

TIP: mount a can opener if you open a lot of topping cans or items for desserts/ salads. This saves a trip during the inevitable “I’m in the weeds”

TIP: put a front hinge door in front of the sink- should you have any plumbing problems (egads) then you’ll be able to easily deal with them!

So take a few moments to look at this often overlooked and yet vital part of the front of the house. Make it stylish, make it extremely efficient and plan for flow and traffic. A little time and money now will pay off in spades once you’re open.

Thanks to One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment sales@onefatfrog.com or call (407) 936-2733 for posting this information guide. You’re always welcome to stop in at our showroom located just minutes from Orlando proper and a little south of Jacksonville, FL at 1137 W. Airport Blvd Sanford, FL 32773

WFF Women’s Foodservice Forum

December 10, 2008

Professionalism- one thing that separates One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment from the competition.  We would like to thank Darden Restaurants for their gracious hosting of the recent WFF event today.  

We also had the opportunity to try their new line cooked on the grills that we wrote about earlier in the week.  Very good and might I highly recommend the vegetables that were prepared!


It costs to be homeless

December 10, 2008

Did you know it costs to be homeless?  Count me naive, but here is something new I learned this weekend.  For the first ?2 or 3? days each year you stay at the Salvation Army it’s free, thereafter it’s $9/day.  Now, this truly was news to me.  I always wondered why folks didn’t go to the homeless shelter when it got cold. 

Now, I still have to fully figure this out, but from what I’m putting together it might cost a homeless person under $300 a month to stay at the homeless shelter.  Mind you this is a person without a permanent address or a place to regularly bathe, so how are they holding a job or even finding one?   Add in mental illness and the equation just gets tougher and tougher.

So, how many of us can afford to be homeless?  Really that is the question… 

And I ask you please, please can you assist the homeless shelter in your area?  Can you donate to Pathways in Orlando to help the mentally ill homeless?  I will write further about my tour last weekend of the facility.  Suffice it to say I met some of the kindest folks there and was really wowed by the Director- Nelson.   He is an amazing man and his vision certainly drives the center.  

Now back in my day… (ah, yeah, circa 1980s) I was a social worker.  Call me bleeding heart, call me commie, but I worked to help the people or at least that’s what I thought working managed care.  I was on the other side of the system but as equally frustrated by it as the recipients or clients.

Can you imagine waiting hours and hours to see a doctor for a prescription and then waiting more hours for medication?  Now you say, what does a homeless person have to do with their time otherwise.  True enough, but don’t all of us deserve the dignity of attention as an individual?   I REALLY dig that Pathways is for the mentally ill and managed by the mentally ill.  Who knows your needs more than your population?

I could go on and on with my personal soapbox, but it really doesn’t matter.  What matters is that this underserved population receives the support they need.  Our generosity of just a dollar or two – or better yet in kind donations- will make a BIG DIFFERENCE.  

Perhaps I’ve taken on this cause with a passion because of a dear friend who suffered from mental illness and passed away a few years ago.  Julia was a bright light and will be missed.  Thankfully she had a family with means to help her avoid homelessness, but there are many who don’t have the financial or emotional ability to help out with a roof.

I invite you to tour Pathways, call us at One Fat Frog and let me take you out there or call Lt. Deanne Adams to meet her there.  Make a difference.   I guarantee you, once you visit Pathways you’ll never be the same!

Let’s make it easy for folks to have a roof over their head.  Maybe we should take up some donations for homeless shelter gift certificates- there you go.. need a present for someone who has everything?  Send some money to Pathways in their honor, ear mark the money so that someone will have a roof over their head.  It’s only $9 bucks a day at the Salvation Army and you and I struggle in recession?

 

============

 

On a separate note we were able to make a token donation to Chef Jeff and EHS students to help their local homeless shelter- two things I dearly love supporting the homeless and teenagers.  Either way it’s the best money spent this week.

May your week be wonderful, you businesses prosperous and a roof over your head-


Pathways Homeless donation needs

December 10, 2008

After my visit to Pathways last weekend I jotted down a few areas that donations would be exceptionally well-used.  Let it be said, this is my rough list.  Pathways accepts all donations and is a not-for-profit (ie- tax deductible donation) organization.  If you’d like to drop off your donation at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment call (407) 936-2733 or stop in at our showroom off Airport Boulevard.  

  • food, FOOD
  • large, xl, xxl clothing, tents, blankets, blankets – it’s cold
  • personal hygiene products
  • LYNX bus passes
  • money toward spending an evening at the shelter (it’s $9/ nite)
  • laundry soap (yes, there are two washers at Pathways)
  • washer/ dryer
  • freezer
  • SERVICES pest control 
  • SERVICES computer techs- anyone offer a few hours to upload software and put together some hardware/ fixing?
  • computer headsets 
  • have a special suggestion?  Can you donate a service?  Can you come cut hair?  sing? entertain? offer to teach a class?
  • FLOORING
  • building materials

When you find something good you just want it to flourish.  

I have to tell you a little story, on the weekend my family likes to spend time at Lake Eola which is downtown Orlando.  (Personally I found it shameful that the city outlawed feeding the homeless downtown.  Feeding someone who is hungry should NEVER be a crime… but I digress.)  So we normally go to the playground at Eola and walk around the lake, saying hello, greeting folks and petting dogs.  With a three and a five year old it’s hard not to be sociable and interact in the world.  

Many of the folks at Pathways seemed so familiar.  I know I must have seen them at Lake Eola.

 And you know what… the most humbling thing happened as we walked through Pathways, one of the women (I believe her name was Mary) made sure each of my girls had a drink and even offered to share her food with them.  Now normally it’s the generosity of my little girls that makes me burst out in tears, but when a homeless person who isn’t sure where their next meal will come from looks to share with children.  

There is good in the world.  I know it.  I’ve found it.

When someone who has nothing can share then you and I who have everything can surely share.  Share what you can.  I promise you that even a dollar will make a difference at Pathways.  If you need to drop off donations you may email me at connieb@onefatfrog.com for directions.

Used Restaurant Equipment Information FAQs

December 10, 2008

Here are few quick FAQs about One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment

I’ll take it – please hold it for me and I’ll get you payment in a few weeks:

  • Due to our high volume and quick turnover we cannot hold equipment.  This policy means you must pay in full for the used equipment to be yours.  This policy is in place due to the customers who <unfortunately> have promised that they will pay and don’t.  In the meantime we have lost sales.  It’s just simple, we have great prices, probably the lowest prices out there and if you want it well please buy it.  Don’t hold your breath, it won’t be here in a few weeks or maybe even a few days.  We seem to be selling out rather rapidly lately.

I can get it for $20 cheaper on the internet or from Joe’s garage storage unit.

  • A short parable for you about sushi.  I can get sushi at my local grocery story for cheap and if I make it at home.. well obscenely cheap.  That being said I prefer to go to Amura’s for sushi because the quality of food really supercedes grocery store sushi and we can all imagine that my home sushi falls apart, there is ambience and wait staff at Amura’s who ensures the quality and timely delivery of the food and they make sure I have exactly what I need when I need it.  Restaurant equipment is just like sushi.  Do you prefer to save $50 and spend 20 hours looking for that deal?  My time is more valuable and I prefer to have someone who specializes in sushi make sushi for me.  I do not pretend to know everything about sushi or where to get the freshest seafood, in fact that’s true on all of the ingredients for sushi and additionally I don’t have a mat, sushi case or other items.  Now the great thing about Amura’s is that if (and it’s never happened) there was a problem with the sushi, the waiter would take take care of it in the kitchen and if it comes to the table and there’s a probelm the waiter will take it back and if they can’t help me there is a manager, waitstaff and several chefs to make things right.  FULL Service Restaurant Equipment dealers are like that.  I can’t tell you how often a freight company brings us equipment damaged in transit.  We take care of it.  That’s what we do.  So the real question is what is your time worth?  Are you interested in quality or shaving off the last cent
  • A customer came in today.  Told me about the great deal they got at xxx auction and an online website.  Super equipment, give-a-way pricing and yet… well the equipment didn’t meet their needs.  One unit had electrical application that wouldn’t work at their facility and the other piece needed repairs.  Yes, most pieces of used restaurant equipment that come into One Fat Frog need some sort of repair or technical assistance.  This is just the nature of used restaurant equipment- the customer should not have purchased either piece of equipment from the sources they did; it was equipment that they didn’t need and also equipment that needed work.  An honest salesperson would have steered them away from the equipment.  It’s the ethical thing to do.

What do you mean by Integrity?

  • A truck pulled up next to me at a stop light today.  The business name was “Integrity First Lawn Service”  what a nifty name.  Around One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment integrity and honesty are paramount to the business.  We stand by our word and our product.  And when the technicians wear deoderant we stand by them too… <poke, poke, jab jab> and on that note I better add they’re pretty good smelling guys so I can’t tease much about them.

Sophie Lake, Eureka, Montana

December 14, 2008

Of some interest – this the lake I used to go swimming in.  Would ride my bike after school most days.  In fact one year Heidi and I joined the Polar Bear club by certainly being the first to swim in it in April.  Let me tell you the bike ride home was COLD!

And yes, I’ve done Polar Bear Club at Flathead Lake just south of Kalispell/ Bigfork and north of Missoula. See there.. I did have a life before restaurant equipment.  … pffft

On a side note this video was posted by a high school friend of mine.  She also has some great video of Glacier.


Restaurant Equipment Dealers: Secrets & Tips

December 14, 2008

At One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment we talk a lot about value, integrity, honesty and the importance of dealing with a full-service restaurant equipment dealer.  Last night at dinner was a GOOD illustration why you should shop with someone who is “attainable” and that you can call in an emergency.  I think these two stories illustrate every reason why you should meet and talk to the folks you’re going to shop with.

So last night we’re sitting at dinner, appetizers have just arrived and the cell phone rings.  It’s xxxx and they’ve called us frantically several times of the past few days.  They’re in a pinch.  They bought equipment from another dealer who left them out to dry after equipment was delivered.  Equipment was full of leaks and they didn’t pass inspection.  Now this really stinks with a capital S as they had planned to open this weekend and had some large name openers already booked. 

They tell us their needs.  ”Hold on a minute, let me call my buddy at xxxx”… five minutes later they have the professional they need.

Now as a restaurant owner you have needs, you have emergencies and we’re here to help you.  On my cell phone I have personal numbers of:

  • hood & gas installation & techs
  • dishwasher repair
  • refrigeration repair technicians
  • truck rental
  • and many more professionals that you would need in this industry.

In fact I’ve been known to open up at night or early in the morning to patch someone over with equipment.  This is what you get when you shop with One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment- we take care of you like family and a handshake still means a handshake.  

My second story-  

A representative of a distribution company stops in.  They’re in our neck of the woods doing service followup on a piece of equipment that was sold to a customer and then the dealer dropped that customer.  Heartbreaking.  

We’re here to help you.  That’s my job and everyone who works in our office and our warehouse.  

LET US MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER!

A smart businessman once told me, “you hire a real estate agent, you hire an accountant, you hire an attorney for their expertise, you hire them to worry for them and let them take care of the troubles.”  

And that is why you hire One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment.  We make sure you have the equipment on time and correctly.  We make sure you have all the bells and whistles that you need that don’t come standard in this industry.

Call (407) 936-2733 and become part of the family.  Get to know us by name and let us help you build your business.  Ask yourself why we have folks who regularly drive down to see us from Savannah or from Tampa?  Why do customers come up from Miami?  

It’s value, integrity and honesty!

FROG HOTLINE (866) 823-9818 toll free restaurant equipment

December 14, 2008

For your information and a little Saturday night humor, we have two top-secret phone numbers.  We’ve been holding out, but now we’ll let you know:

  • The FROG hotline:  (407) 936-FROG  Imagine that this works like the bat sign but since we would be competing with big sky lights from Universal, we’ve just scrapped the frog signal and gone directly to the Frog hotline.  

 

  • Better yet, want to call us on OUR dime?  Sure, call us at 1 (866) 823-9818 .  Please note this works as an 800 number does.  Sadly we regret that we will no longer be able to accept collect calls from prison inmates and Nigerian scammers.  But for the rest of you the toll free (866) 823-9818  number should work pretty peachy keen. 

Want to contact oNe Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment by another means?  Might we suggest fellow culinarians do one of the following things:

  • hop in their jalopy and <pause of subtle frog joke there… insert laughter> cruise over to our showroom and warehouses centrally located at 1137 West Airport Boulevard, Sanford, FL 32773 which is near enough to Orlando and just far enough from Jacksonville to be sure that it’s worth the drive at our prices!
