When you are trying to buy commercial kitchen equipment for your restaurant, then you may wonder whether to invest in brand-new canteen kitchen equipment or you should look for second-hand commercial kitchen equipment. There are obvious pros and cons associated with both brand-new as well as second-hand kitchen equipment. In this article, we will share with you the advantages of both new as well as old restaurant equipment so that you can make a judicious choice.
Advantages of brand-new kitchen equipment
It is a no-brainer that a piece of brand-new equipment gives you multiple advantages compared to a piece of second-hand
equipment. The first and most obvious one is the warranty. If you go for second-hand
equipment, then chances are that you have to spend a lot of money on its maintenance
that negates all the advantages you get to buy it for a discount. Furthermore,
it has been observed that a piece of brand new kitchen equipment would perform
more efficiently compared to an old one that has gone through its paces for
several years. Therefore, we suggest that when you are planning to purchase big
equipment that costs a lot of money like stoves, ovens, refrigerators et
cetera, you should only buy brand-new items.
Advantages
of buying second-hand restaurant equipment
The one and the only advantage of buying a piece of second-hand kitchen equipment is that you
can save a lot on its price. Since price is a big factor when you are opening a
restaurant and can affect your balance sheet adversely (if you splurge on high-end
sophisticated equipment), therefore, in such a situation you can go for a piece
of second-hand kitchen equipment if you are on a tight budget.
If you are
looking for used restaurant equipment, then we suggest that you can go to a reputed
commercial auction house. Look for a piece of equipment that is not too old and
still has a warranty on it. We suggest that if you are looking at the
second-hand option, then use this option to buy gas ranges because they are
very expensive to buy and usually last for a very long (if they are from a good
brand). Look at the equipment carefully to see whether they are working
perfectly, whether a part of it is damaged or has rust on it.
We hope the suggestions we have given
here in this article would help you decide whether you want to buy brand-new kitchen equipment or look for second-hand pieces
which are in good condition.
