Nothing is more frustrating for the management of a restaurant in a device that breaks. Of course, the computer can not only during a fever Friday night, just before the weekend, when the repairs are difficult to reconcile. In addition to the management and repair services for customer problems, time spent working on equipment, security and waiting for parts and services in many hours, which may be more effective transfer of waste.
After three restaurants, many years and manyErrors, here are some ideas for my drive to save thousands of dollars and many hours of work and personal mental health.
Buy new or used equipment? The answer is both. You must make some decisions before you begin your search. Ask yourself these questions
What is the importance of the device for my operation? In other words, a microwave oven to heat the second is as important as their boats in an operation of seafood if the ship goes down, your pet can go toWeeds and input from clients on two occasions.
How soon can I get equipment?
What can I do to maximize the money from my purchases? For example, if you need a new flat top grilled cheese is melting, which is optional on most models as a backup to my salamander? If I buy a convection oven, I was a combination convection / steam, or perhaps one of the turbo-fast cooking ovens
When I update a model or a combination, you can add flexibility to my menu?
What willmy budget allows? If the investments have the potential to generate new markets?
If you are cash rich and fast delivery are important for testing new equipment for the road. On the other hand, if you're like most restaurant operations and every penny that is being studied, then use the computer can be a reasonable solution. Used may be difficult to buy without thinking about the purchase of any problem. If you buy used, follow these suggestions;
Even more important --The maintenance of the system if they need to work before you buy. Ask if you call a technician for advice regularly.
If possible, a provider of security for a specified period.
Never any good deal to buy the restaurant, through the Internet, when you configure and understand the shipping charges. Only buy from a seller on the Internet, accepting credit cards. The credit card companies to offer a small amount of protection against fraudulent offers.
RememberWhen you replace equipment, there are many technical problems. So, for example 220 volt connectors are different phases. Gas appliances should also apply to most electric motors and electronics. Current varies with the number of devices. 15 for a toaster may withdraw from the amplifier, and another to develop up to 20 amps, reducing congestion in the circuit and the need for an electrician, a new song (if installation is possible).
Buying new equipment is less a game than before, but it's worth and luxurylong-term security and a reliable device. The biggest problem with the new equipment is still in use. What happens if they break? It 'good to have a guarantee for long, but if the service must come from another area, it can take days or weeks, not buy. A nightmare of 5,800 dollars, that we had was a large convection oven was bought new and used heavy five years. When we need a theme for them, are not part of the population. The question came from Germany and we had to findsomeone who works there. After one or two weeks of discussions, you buy a new device for the interruption of service to the customer.
Well, if all conditions are perfect, and has cash reserves, the new computer is the best way to eliminate the headaches in the future - at least during the lifetime of the device. There are some good books sometimes used equipment available. An example is the opening of numerous restaurants, the chain and close with regularity. You can find some exceptionalBargain if you can find the wholesaler of computers in the chain of restaurants. Some wholesalers have warehouses full of relatively new equipment.
Remember to focus not only on the computer to Best Buy. Impact factor of the operation without the proper equipment when it fails. Hospitality begins with customer expectations. Do not ruin your chances of faulty equipment.
