Over here it's tied to soap, chemicals, and cleaning stuff consumption. If I don't order a certain amount per month, I have to pay the leasing fee, if I don't order enough soap/supplies for 3 consecutive months, I have to pay the installation fee and removal fees.
It works well if I have a 60 seat á la carte place, but I don't. Most days I just use if for ware washing, and then on the weekends I might do a 3 course sit down for 50, or a BBQ for 200 and then I really need it. Besides, most of the machines for these companies use are not very energy efficient, they are durable and well built, but I don't have 60 amps for those hungry beasts to spare. |
