Outfitting a commercial kitchen can be a daunting task. Commercial restaurant equipment is probably the single largest expenditure for a new restaurant, as well as one that needs to be considered part of the budget, as keeping a commercial kitchen up-to-date will involve periodic replacement of restaurant equipment. As a result, the restauranteur has to consider purchase price, depreciation value, lifespan, whether buying used or new equipment is a better deal, and the difference in prices between brands when making an initial investment decision.
However, choosing what commercial restaurant equipment to purchase cannot be just a financial decision. The reality is that commercial restaurant equipment brands are not interchangeable. Even high-quality brands have their unique characteristics, which may make them better suited for some applications than for others. At Auto Ice Maker, we offer products from the industry leaders, such as Hoshikazi, American Range, Beverage Air, Continental, Excellence, Fogel, Follett, Howard-McCray, Howe, Infrico USA, Leer, Master Bilt, Sure Col, and Systems IV. While all of these brands are considered to be top-quality, the commercial restaurant equipment experts at Auto Ice Maker can help you understand the differences between the various brands, so that you can compare them and determine which one is best suited for your kitchen.
Why is high-quality equipment so important? Well, quality and reliability are inextricably related. Perhaps most importantly, reliable equipment means more reliable cooking temperatures and times, reducing the risk of waste and the risk of food-borne illnesses that are linked to improper storage or cooking temperatures. Next, reliable equipment means fewer failures, which translates into fewer interruptions that can result in lost customers.

We sold both new and used high-quality restaurant equipment, and, by focusing on all of your business goals, we can help you stretch your budget and outfit your commercial kitchen with the best products suited to your own goals.
