Used restaurant equipment auction saves cash flow

You and your partners have done a lot of looking, and research, about how to upgrade your restaurant kitchen. What’s needed, are some state-of-the-art cooking units and replacing outdated apparatus on your kitchen line.

At the top of your list is replacing two of your gas stoves and ovens, something you’re partners suggest you should buy new, or lease. But, the cash flow just isn’t there to buy much of new-anything; plus, these items are hugely expensive brand new. Hence, you push for going to a used restaurant equipment auction.

“What about the warranties?” one asked. “Shouldn’t we be concerned about that when we buy through an auction?”

You remind them that time is on their side right now, as you don’t have to make an immediate change, which gives you time to search for scheduled auctions in your area. Moreover, the team at Lauro Auctioneers, gave you a heads-up on a couple of restaurants looking to auction two of their gas ranges and gas cooktops—their warranties come with it!

Furthermore, you can actually visit a couple of the restaurants to check out what they plan to auction off, a chance to ask for repair records and even warranty information before placing a bid later.

You’ve all agreed on the list of used items you’ll nail down through the services of Lauro, who also has an active website for used equipment. The list includes the big stuff, like the stoves, ovens and refrigerators.

Contact us if you’re thinking about buying restaurant equipment at auction and we’ll make sure you get the best value for your money.
