Auctions in South Florida Can Help Restaurateurs Capitalize on Museum Trend

The Sunshine State’s enterprising restaurateurs may want to take note. Auctions in South Florida can help those that want to capitalize on the latest museum trend. Just in case you missed the Miami Herald headlines in January 2014, an increasing amount of cultural institutions are looking to upgrade their food and beverage options. That, of course, leaves plenty of opportunities for quick-thinking restaurateurs.

For example, some South Florida cultural institutions may want to lease or sell space to craft brewers, gourmet coffee shops, seafood or Italian restaurants. Others may be looking to partner with wine sommeliers, artisan bakeries, vegan cafes or organic sandwich shops. At this stage of the trend, anything is possible with the right amount of resources.

That’s where auctions in South Florida come into play. They enable restaurateurs to obtain much needed, brand name, commercial kitchen equipment at affordable prices. For example, some South Florida auctions may feature the following:

  • 140 quart Hobart mixers
  • Walk-in AmeriKoolers
  • Wega Atlas cappuccino machines
  • Regal-Pinnacle refrigerated bakery cases
  • Sodir by Equipex crepe machines.

Depending on the auction, complete buyouts that include front of the house items may be possible too. For instance, it is not uncommon for restaurateurs to pick up high end booth seating, barstools, chairs, trash receptacles and tables with bases. All of those items could be used to establish a museum based eatery as well.

In addition to all of the front and back of the house restaurant supplies on offer, some South Florida auctioneers also offer in-house financing options. That can be beneficial for those who need to act quickly but have the majority of their assets tied up in real estate or other long-term investments.
