Restaurant Equipment

Start with expected volume and duty cycle — intermittent café use can rely on light-duty equipment, while butcheries require continuous torque, cooling, and durability. Also confirm NSF/ANSI sanitation, UL/ETL safety approvals, U.S. service access, and long-term parts availability to ensure reliable uptime.

For front-of-house presentation, show slicing, and charcuterie bars, yes — flywheel slicers produce clean, cool, showcase-quality slices. For repeated back-line production, an electric gear-drive slicer is faster, more consistent, and better suited for high-throughput workflows.

Food-contact equipment is typically expected to carry NSF/ANSI sanitation certification along with UL or ETL electrical safety approval in the U.S. While enforcement varies by jurisdiction, certified equipment helps avoid issues during health inspections and insurance audits.

Most small and mid-size grinders and mixers operate reliably on 110V power. Heavy-duty #22/#32 grinders or mixers exceeding 110 lbs commonly require 208–240V to maintain torque, reduce motor strain, and support continuous commercial production.

Many distributors offer free shipping on select SKUs or order thresholds. However, oversized or heavy equipment may include freight, lift-gate, or other accessorial charges. Requesting a detailed, line-item shipping quote helps avoid unexpected costs.
