Countdown to our holiday party

To buy restaurant equipment call us at (407) 936-2733.  But for tonite– One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment is counting down a few hours to our staff holiday party.  We’ll be eating out (of course).  And I think there will be a little music involved.  Stay tuned for details tomorrow on who has the best voice.  I imagine Mr. IT Guy is a closet karaoke fanatic and may do well.  Who knows, we might also get Mr. Bossman to sing along…

This is one item new chef owners over look at startup of their restaurant.  Set the ambience and continue the style of your restaurant with the appropriate menu cover.

Tired of putting ugly sheet pans out in customer view?

Please come into our showroom and see the new item we have- it’s a really gorgeous platter that looks like fine china but wears like a stainless steel sheet pan.  Can be put in warmers or heated display cases up to 200 degrees or refrigerated!

These are gorgeous pieces that many cruise ships, hospitals, Gaylord Palms and Bellagio are using.

I would recommend looking into purchasing a few of these for your buffet line, hot cases, cold cases, bakery cases or catering events.  They fit perfect in cambros!

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

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!
  • send email, marriage proposals and drunken rants (yup Chef M do we love you ;) to sales@onefatfrog.com

For those of you who have not seen…

The infamous water boiling video.  Suffice it to say the girls in the showroom aren’t the only ones who keep Central Florida Restaurants in business.  But I do have to say our tech’s meat men (yes, ask him for the recipe and see him blush because we think it includes some sort of premade biscuit mix) are pretty good.  So shop at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment where our pictures are good, our prices better and our jokes funny.  With a name like One Fat Frog how can you get too caught up in life.  Stop- smile and enjoy it!

If you’re feeling pretty daring give us a call on the FROG hotline – (407) 936-FROG

Restaurant Equipment Dealers: Secrets & Tips

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!

Sophie Lake, Eureka, Montana

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.
