FROG HOTLINE toll free restaurant equipment

Posted on December 14, 2008 by | Leave a comment

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.

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

Posted on December 14, 2008 by | Leave a comment

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

Posted on December 14, 2008 by | Leave a comment

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.

Startup: fast food franchise versus independently owned

Posted on December 12, 2008 by | Leave a comment

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.

What is a fast food restaurant?

Posted on December 12, 2008 by | Leave a comment

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.
