New or used restaurant kitchen equipment? 🍳🔧

Setting up a commercial kitchen and stuck on this exact question? Here's the short version.

Equipment eats up 30-40% of your whole startup budget. Buying smart on used gear can cut that by 40-70% — which is huge if you're trying to also cover marketing, decor, staff, all of it.

But here's the thing people learn the hard way:

Used equipment almost never comes with a warranty. If a compressor dies two months in, that repair bill is 100% on you. A client of ours bought a used industrial fryer that looked mint — three months later the heating element failed, and repairs cost about 25% of what they paid for the whole thing. 😬

Buy NEW, no exceptions: 🔴 Main refrigeration units 🔴 Anything with complex electronics 🔴 Gas/heat safety systems (basically: anything whose failure = whole kitchen stops)

Totally fine to buy USED (if inspected properly): 🟢 Steel prep tables, shelving 🟢 Sinks, trolleys, carts 🟢 Simple mechanical cooking gear — after a full test run

Before buying anything used: ✔️ Run it 30+ min under real working conditions ✔️ Bring someone who actually knows equipment ✔️ Get the invoice + service history ✔️ If used price is within 30% of new — just buy new, it's not worth the risk

The restaurants that get this right don't pick a side — they mix new and used strategically. New where failure would be a disaster, used where the risk is low and it's been properly checked out.
