Hello everyone,
I am getting closer to opening up a small bakery (breads, cakes, desserts, pastries, small breakfast/lunch menu) and could use some help picking out equipment. It would be a lot cheaper to go used but I have heard that it is better to go with a new "off brand" piece of equipment than a good used piece of equipment. I don't know if I agree with this or not, but I have never had to purchase commercial kitchen equipment before. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Here is some of the equipment I will need
Convention Ovens (looking at this one - https://www.ckitchen.com/p/bakers-pride-bco-g2-cyclone-convection-oven-1.html)
Range (looking at this one - https://www.ckitchen.com/p/bakers-pride-36-bp-6b-s30-restaurant-series-range-2.html)
Refrigerator (looking at this one - http://www.webstaurantstore.com/ava...ach-in-refrigerator-46-5-cu-ft/178CFD2RR.html)
Freezer (looking at this one - http://www.webstaurantstore.com/ava...or-reach-in-freezer-46-5-cu-ft/178CFD2FF.html)
Proofer (looking at this one - http://www.webstaurantstore.com/ava...-cabinet-with-clear-door-120v/177HPU1836.html)
Mixer (looking at this one - http://www.webstaurantstore.com/ava...ogleShopping&gclid=CMLR-M3e7NICFUWewAodwycGgA)
I know all of this is cheap equipment but my budget on large equipment is only about $20k.
I will also need display cases, prep tables, coffee maker, etc.
Also, is it cheaper/better to but equipment online or in store?
