The High Cost of Stainless Steel
Outfitting a commercial kitchen with brand new Vulcan ovens, Hobart mixers, and True refrigeration units can easily cost $250,000. However, when restaurants fail, liquidators auction off practically brand-new equipment at massive discounts to clear out the leased space quickly.
Navigating Local Auctions
Shipping heavy equipment destroys the discount, so you must buy local.
- Location Limits: Track auction boards only within a two-hour driving radius of your restaurant.
- Phase Tracking: Monitor specific brands known for longevity to ensure you aren't buying someone else's broken fryer.
Automating Outfitting with kAIros
Set kAIros to monitor regional business liquidation auction sites. Instruct it to parse the lot catalogs and send you an email alert only if a Hobart 60-quart mixer or a specific size walk-in cooler goes up for bidding in your area, allowing you to snipe the deal.
