Times are Tough – Renting your Catering Equipment May Ease the Burden

There’s no hiding from the fact that we are in uncertain economic times and the hospitality sector in particular is beginning to feel the strain caused by the cost of living crisis, rising fuel bills and the cost of catering equipment increasing.

In the current climate big ticket items like new items of commercial catering equipment can seem out of reach, as your business faces increasing strain on its capital to operate. But breakdowns still happen, equipment still needs replacing, and now more than ever, foodservice businesses need to differentiate themselves from their competition to win their customers’ ever vigilant spend.

We’re here to work with you and support your business through these tough times and rental offers a great solution.

There’s no saying what’s coming up in the next few months or how long this period of economic uncertainty will last, but our range of rental solutions are here to help your business.

Our multi-year contracts feature a fixed monthly cost. How does this help? If you’re in need of replacement equipment because a key item has broken down, or if you’re looking for new equipment to help you expand your menu to set yourself apart from the competition then we provide an affordable way of getting it. There’s a small deposit to pay but it’s a fraction of the cost of paying the whole price upfront, and helps you spread your capital through the rest of the business to those areas where it will be needed most.

You’re not tying yourself in to the long term. Our rental contracts have a minimum period starting at 3 years. After that you can send the equipment back if it’s not quite what you need, buy it at a discounted rate, swap the equipment for something else if you want the latest technology or are planning significant changes to your menu, or simply carry on with the rental.

There’s a huge number of benefits to renting catering equipment which can benefit your business which we’ve outlined here.
