When we buy some appliances, we check to see if it fits our specifications, brand reliability, and of course the price. Many items from air conditioners to gas ranges are rated by BTU, the British Thermal Unit.
But if you’re in the restaurant business, do you want to save money buying equipment for your kitchen that has a second-tier name and reputation? It’s been our experience over many years of working with restaurants across the country that it’s not a very good idea. Many restaurants run their stoves, fryers, ice makers, food processors and mixers literally 24/7 so they are pushed to the limit every day. A breakdown, even if it’s only a for a day, can cost a business revenue and customer loyalty.
