Buying or Leasing Restaurant Equipment or Commercial Kitchen Equipment

Whether you’re opening a new restaurant or want to upgrade your commercial kitchen equipment, many often wonder if they should simply buy new equipment or lease it. As one of the leading suppliers of restaurant and kitchen equipment, Zanduco Restaurant Equipment & Supplies wants to help make your decision easier.

 

Below you’ll find all of the advantages and disadvantages of either buying or leasing new restaurant equipment!

 

Advantages & Disadvantages of Buying

When buying new restaurant equipment, there can be some clear advantages over leasing, the foremost being that you’ll be getting a full equipment lifespan because that kitchen equipment has never been used. Often, when buying your commercial kitchen or restaurant equipment brand new, you’ll also receive a warranty that will cover repairs for a certain period of time, which can cut maintenance costs. Additionally, many restaurant equipment providers, Zanduco Restaurant Equipment & Supplies included, sell refurbished products at a discounted price.

 

Of course, the leading downside to buying kitchen equipment is the price tag. Restaurant equipment can be quite an investment, especially if it requires specialized installation, so be sure to take such things in mind. There can also be added expenses like the need to buy additional insurance or put down a substantial deposit.

 

Advantages & Disadvantages of Leasing

For some restaurants or commercial kitchens, leasing their restaurant equipment might be a better option for many different reasons. Firstly, when leasing your kitchen equipment, you’ll be able to have access to high-quality kitchen equipment with less capital, which is something that can be particularly useful to restaurants that are just starting out. Additionally, leasing your equipment can also be tax-deductible.

 

Those that are running a temporary catering company, a food truck, or another type of restaurant that won’t require the equipment long-term should also consider leasing. This can provide you with the equipment you need when you need it. For those who might want to try out a new dish to see if it catches on or have a pop-up restaurant, leasing can be ideal. There are also many companies that provide more economical lease-to-buy options.
