About Our Used Restaurant Equipment
One of the mistakes new restaurant owners make is thinking that in order to have a quality stocked kitchen, they must spend money on new equipment. This decision can be devastating to a restaurant, resulting in a greatly reduced cash flow that can impede other possibilities and greatly increase the chance that a restaurant will fail before it ever gets a chance to succeed. Unfortunately, when consulting with some retailers about products, the idea that the only good products are new products can be reinforced, because new products are more expensive and tend to have a higher profit margin for the retailer. At Automatic Ice Maker Company, we pride ourselves on our customer service. We spend time with our customers, finding out their needs, and are not afraid to make suggestions that are better for the customers, even if those suggestions might reduce our profit potential. One of the suggestions that we frequently make is for customers to consider purchasing used equipment for some of their restaurant equipment needs.
Why Auto Ice?
Like any other used commodity, used restaurant equipment comes available in a wide range of conditions, so that some of it might be appropriate for stocking a kitchen, while other used equipment is likely to lead to nothing but problems. At Automatic Ice Maker, we take the guess work out of purchasing used restaurant equipment. We only sell high-quality, reliable used products that meet our specifications. More than that, we are only going to recommend used products that are likely to meet an individual customer’s needs and expectations. We are also going to be honest about the expected life the kitchen equipment has left. Of course, it does not hurt that we focus our used sales on the same top-quality brands that we stock new: Hoshikazi, American Range, Beverage Air, Continental, Excellence, Fogel, Follett, Howard-McCray, Howe, Infrico USA, Leer, Master Bilt, Sure Col, and Systems IV.
As you might expect, used products may have greater maintenance needs than new products to keep them performing at top capacity. Our customer service does not stop with our sales. Instead, we keep a fully-stocked parts warehouse to help ensure that you have everything you need to keep your kitchen running smoothly.
If you are looking for used restaurant equipment or unsure whether a used product is right for your kitchen, talk to one of our expert salespeople, who will help you examine your needs and steer you towards the product that is best for you.
