Tip of the Day: Restaurant Business Success

It’s a funny thing but EVERY successful restaurant and business owner who I speak with tells me they don’t watch the news.  They do not get involved in the doom and gloom.

So here’s our restaurant business tip of the day- don’t get caught up in the stories of the news.  Focus on the positive and spend that time reading restaurant owner forums and learning from other’s mistakes.

AND if you haven’t opened your dream restaurant yet we highly recommend you come in and talk to us.  Did you know we have a NEW RESTAURANT RESOURCE CENTER with materials, handouts and books for start up restaurants, pizzerias, coffeeshops and bakeries.  We deal in used equipment- what does this mean to you if you are opening a restaurant?  Well, we talk to a LOT of restaurants that don’t succeed.  We know what it takes to succeed and we also know what happened when a restaurant doesn’t make it.

Let us share our experiences with you.  Come meet the One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment family in person- we’re in the metro Orlando area- just south of Daytona, Ocala and Gainesville, worth the drive from Tampa, Miami, Naples and St. Pete.  See what we’re about.

Let us be part of your dream!

Rational Oven

Thanks to One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment for this guide on the Rational Combi ovens.  One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment, a full-service hybrid internet and brick & mortar dealer, located in the Metro Orlando area, was able to preview and test the Rational ovens recently and has a lot to say about the ovens.

First of all, the food had been prepared earlier and flash frozen.  So, the chefs were able to put pre-plated food in the oven.  On the plates- cooking at the same time in the same oven- was:

  1. Eggs Benedict with Bernaise sause a side of asparagus
  2. Salmon, Rice
  3. various other items

The amazing part of the Rational combi oven was that we had the food in front of us and at perfect temperatures within 8- yes you heard me right- 8 minutes of ordering.   Now all of these varied foods were cooked in the same oven, and even if you added in multiple food items at different times the timer would self-correct.

The food was beyond delicious and we remarked- how this could revolutionize cooking for catering and events,  schools, centralized kitchens, golf courses and also middle of the night room service.  Food quality was high and food was just simply delicious.  If we could recommend one piece of equipment for you to build a franchise around, the Rational Oven would be it.

Professional Restaurant Equipment installation

Thanks to One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment for this guide on the importance of professional installation of restaurant equipment.  And your first question is, I can plug that in or hook that up- why should I pay some company money to professionally install the equipment?  Yes, savings are an important factor at the end of the day, but knowing where to save is also an important factor.

We have clients who come to us to save money on equipment.  That’s an important factor in every deal we make- we want the customer to save money- WHEN IT MAKES FISCAL SENSE!

This means you don’t save money in a way that will cost you more in the long run.  For example, we commonly hear, “I found an ice machine for $300 – why would I buy your used ice machine for $900?”  Well, this does make all the sense in the world until you put together a little industry knowledge and a bit of honesty.  Ice machine parts can and will be expensive and you had better believe that technician you ask to repair the equipment doesn’t come cheaply.

So now you have a used ice machine for $900, it comes with a thirty day warranty and our technician has fully tested the unit.  This means you’re getting a good unit at a great fair price.  Now at the other side of the fence you’re buying someone’s headache at $300 and pumping in several hundred in parts and now paying a technician at the rate of $65 an hour.  Might be a good deal- might be a big headache… generally the latter happens!

Let’s talk about why installation makes fiscal sense– we want you to get a good deal.  Restaurant Equipment is not the same as home appliances- it’s sturdier, meant to last and also often has some sort of built in sensor or trigger.  There may also be other adjustments necessary (ie- on ice machines you will adjust them differently if you put the ice maker in the air conditioned space or in an outdoor or non-air conditioned facility or in a garage.)

So, why would you have someone install your equipment?  You want someone who knows the ins and outs of the equipment.  They will be able to provide service should you need anything.  Additionally you will find that they often are able to fine tune that equipment and assure years of use.

In the past we have had clients who are “home” installing the units and call with what they thought were product issues, when in reality it was just not understanding the fine tuning and installation needs of the equipment.

Use a professional company to install your equipment.  Please call 407-936-2733 should you need further information
