Commercial Ice Machines & Ice Makers for Your Restaurant

By | May 10th, 2017|Categories: Restaurants|

Summer is fast approaching. Keep your service chilled with a reliable commercial ice machine, and keep your customers coming back. Having ice on hand is vital for any restaurant, bar, café, pizza place, or any foodservice facility. Lauro Restaurant Equipment offers a wide variety of commercial ice machines, along with ice bins and dispensers and water filtration system to ensure your ice is crisp and clean.

If you run a restaurant or a bar, you know that ice means much more than the simple frozen water. That is the essential ingredient that makes a difference between a perfectly chilled beverage and an unhappy customer. The first step in getting the right ice maker is to find the right size, which depends on how much ice you need for your commercial kitchen. Ice comes in many different shapes and sizes, so you also need to decide which type of ice best fits your establishment: ice cubes (full or half) and nugget ice for cocktails or soft drinks, or flake ice to keep your seafood or fruits nice and fresh.

Not sure what size commercial ice machine you need?

Opening a restaurant can be a very costly venture, starting from tens of thousands of dollars to couple of millions, depending on size and location. From the fitting of appliances in your kitchen, setting up the menu, décor, to the staff uniforms and training, everywhere you look you have start-up expenses.

Leasing Restaurant Equipment

By | November 25th, 2016|Categories: Leasing Restaurant Equipment, Restaurants|

Upgrading the equipment in your restaurant is typically put off for multiple reasons, but the main reason is because you, as a business owner, may not be able to afford it. Leasing restaurant equipment is the best option for you. All businesses need income to survive. Having proper cash flow management is crucial when it comes to the important elements of success, regardless of whether your business may be a single restaurant or an entire chain. Leasing restaurant equipment can be easier than purchasing new restaurant equipment. Leasing will facilitate the process of getting the restaurant equipment you need without having to spend a large amount of money at once.

Buying Used Restaurant Equipment

By | October 5th, 2016|Categories: Used Restaurant Equipment|

Ask any restaurant owner how things are in the business, and they’ll all tell you the same thing – it’s tough, and getting tougher. In an ever-increasingly competitive market, customers are expecting more and more, for less. It’s not all doom and gloom for budding restaurateurs, however, as a solution may just be a phone call away.

Having a great idea for a restaurant is only the start. Bringing that idea to reality and making it successful requires being smart. And smart business starts with smart finances. Every penny you save on fixed capital is money that can go towards quality staff and food products, the two main ingredients for a successful restaurant.
