Stormtrooper Eggs for the Win

I’m not a huge egg fan – no matter how they’re prepared they usually gross me out. What I can get behind, however, are eggs with stomrtrooper helmets drawn on them. The Force is strong with this one.

A Visit From Some GA Friends

People come from all around to save at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment. Take yesterday for example. Around noon, a group of four gents came in all the ways from Georgia – that’s a good six hour drive one way! They had awesome accents and talked to me about a food truck they’re going to opening. These guys had some great ideas – their best being to shop at One Fat Frog restaurant Equipment! After checking out what we have at our Sanford location, they put another hour on the clock and drove to our Orlando location!

I’ve been with the business for months now and I’ve seen people from Arkansas, Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina and even New York walk into the One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment warehouse.

If you’re in Florida but outside of Orlando and asking if One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment is worth the drive, the answer is obviously “yes”. Next question.

Used Charbroiler BLOWOUT!!!

Hey do you want to see something cool? All month long One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment is having a massive blowout on their used tabletop chabroilers! One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment must have lost their mind, because these prices are seriously ridiculous. There’s a variety of charbroiler brands like Vulcan, Wolf, and APW Wyott and a selection of sizes including 36″ and 60″. Charbroilers are perfect for cooking up seafood, burgers, steaks, potatoes, dragon’s eggs, unicorn tongues, etc. and gives the food a real backyard BBQ taste. With the proper maintenance, your used charbroiler can last a lifetime. Here’s some primo maintenance tips to ensure you get the most out of your charbroiler.

Exhaust requirements are highly important. Water and grease pans need to be emptied at least daily. Radiants should be brushed off daily to remove any food debris. Ceramic briquettes need to be flipped regularly so the heat can clean them. Burners should be inspected for proper combustion. A gas-service technician should be called in to adjust air shutters on burners. If food debris and materials build up on the unit, this will shorten the charbroiler’s service life and pose a potential fire hazard.

One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment’s chabroiler blowout is going on now! One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment can get you financed if needed and bad credit is not a problem! One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment also welcomes quick cash deals and package deals towards the entire stock of used commercial restaurant equipment – including used charbroilers. Come and check out the section of used charbroilers today!

This just in…

Last night a Bakery Case- not sure if it’s refrigerated or dry.  Also a combination Starbucks case- either can be custom painted.  Sure not to last long.

Stop in and Shop in at the Frog … where’s it’s not the same old restaurant equipment you saw six months ago!

We’re expanding…

I can’t tell you how we’re expanding now, but suffice it to say that it’s not my waistline this time!  Yup- look for big changes coming.  We’re expanding staff… lots of training going on and … well, I’ll let you know more as we’re going.

But for now I wanna tell you a funny story about one of the newbies.  Came to the interview in a suit.  Yup, I normally try to warn these folks that we’re not stuff suit and tie folks… but he did it anyway.

That’s okay… will leave us loads of jokes on his behalf for the suit… Sort of like Mr. Mohawk who showed up once upon a time on our doorstep in a three piece and trenchcoat.  He’ll likely never live that down.  Nevaaaaaaaah! <insert evil laughter here>

So come on over, what’s stopping you?  I’ve got the Bakery Cases and Starbucks curved glasses cases- do you have the Marble and Lemon Pound Cakes?

One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment- where you’re never going to see us wearing a tie

Friends from Columbus GA

The thing I like best about the Frog (besides the fact that every day is bring your baby to work day) is the awesome people who come in to shop.  I admit it, my experience in restaurants and bars has always been front end because I like to jabberjaw.  If you make it out of the store without me knowing your life story it’s likely that I’m just not in.  I love hearing concepts and plans but I also love hearing stories.

Nothing made our day more than the group who came down just to visit Little Old Frog Us from Columbus GA.  I sat off to the side for a bit… probably looking more like a customer then anyone who might know anything but that’s the blonde in me… and listened to these folks and their knowledge about equipment and how to implement it.  Got to talk with one of the folks about his tour of duty in Germany and his other posts around the world.  Loved it!

I guess I sometimes feel like I served being an army brat.  My dad is retired army so when I meet someone who was stationed near where we were well then that sort of makes me feel like home.

So, whether you’re coming from Columbus GA or Savannah or even just Orlando, stop a bit and pull up a chair.  We’d love to talk to you.  When you shop at the Frog we’re here for more than just restaurant equipment, same as you are here for more.

Why not buy restaurant equipment from people you actually like and can trust?  Stop in at the Frog, get to know us and see how our inventory changes.  You’ll love us and we hope to love you.  And yes all the characters online do exist in person… even the hairy guy who has an Oppossum… Opossum… something like that

I was just one table away from Great service

I admit it, I was just one table away from Great service.  That’s right.  I could hear it going on at the table behind me.  I envied the people getting salad plates with their bowl of salad, I interrupted random servers for straws.

It’s true, I am probably both one of your hardest tables and simultaneously one of the easiest going.  I have just under a mazillion kids so anytime I make it out of the house without cooking a meal, with under ten tantrums, my clothing in tact (ie- no stains, mismatched shoes- and we’re talking me, not the midgets) well then life is good.  I dream of drinking something that’s not out of the soda fountain but since I have the mazillion kids I don’t get to do that, either.  Okay, so I admit, I longingly look at the booze on the table next to me… I adore it, sometimes I outright drool but I keep it in check.

I tried to write off the poor service telling my husband, oh his timing’s off.  Hubby tells me, yeah well it’s off on every table.  Then hubby turns around to a flock of servers who have gathered to do something… we’re still not quite sure… and asks them for help.

Beyond timing there was this little thing like bringing things we needed once the course was done, or coming to talk to the table and addressing us from three feet away (ie- the middle of the main walkway) so you didn’t realize the server was talking to you until he reached in and took away something you weren’t quite finished with.

Now mind you, after the meal is done, my husband has left the table with half the mazillion children so I’m patiently sitting at the table with the other mazillion kids, grab the bill and he breezes through I’ll be back in just a sec… countdown… many seconds go on.  The Space Shuttle could have launched several times- even with delays-

And at the table next to us the server was debonair, suave and on time.  I looked longingly as he laughed with his happy table, knowing I was just one table away from Great service.

Service- that’s what it’s about at restaurants.  Does your training program focus enough on customer service and how they want it when they come in?

One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment and a mazillion kids, yes it’s true!  We’re training the youngest to sell restaurant equipment and the seven year old is sure that spring break she’s gonna come scrub restaurant equipment for us (shhhh don’t tell her it’s not as much fun as the guys tell her it is)
