Running a restaurant, café, bakery, or any F&B facilities, takes a lot more than just buying and running foodservice equipment. Just like cars, any café or restaurant equipment requires a proper care, training, and service maintenance when the time comes. Most importantly, you will need a dependable distributor with a service team who offers consultation, service maintenance, spare parts, and availability when you need it the most, especially when you are looking for foodservice equipment for a startup.
