Closing down a business or in need of quick cash? Restaurant owners have several options when it comes to liquidating their equipment. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the process:
Preparing Your Equipment for Sale:
Before putting your restaurant equipment on the market, take the following steps:
- Ensure every inch of equipment is cleaned and polished for a good first impression.
- Locate equipment manuals and warranties to provide to the next owner.
- Seek advice from an equipment appraiser to determine a fair price based on the equipment’s value.
Exploring Selling Options:
- Online Platforms like eBay or Craigslist: These platforms offer quick sales, but be sure to provide detailed descriptions and quality photos to justify your asking price. Be prepared for negotiation and low-ball offers.
- Target Startup Restaurants: New restaurant owners often seek used equipment for efficiency and affordability. Educate them on what they need and be open to negotiations on price.
- Approach Restaurant Chains: Larger restaurant chains regularly update equipment and may be interested in purchasing used items. However, be aware of their specific brand preferences and pricing expectations.
- Partner with KMC: If selling the equipment yourself isn’t your preference, consider reaching out to Kohn-Megibow Company.
