KitchenSource
Restaurant Equipment Procurement Organization
“Buy the kitchen your menu actually needs.”
$CHEFAbout the Organization
What KitchenSource does
A procurement company that helps restaurants compare and source equipment around menu, capacity, kitchen footprint, budget and operating requirements.
New restaurant owners, independent operators, cafes and small hospitality groups buying or replacing kitchen equipment.
Commercial kitchen purchasing is expensive and fragmented. Owners often overbuy, miss installation requirements or compare equipment that is not actually equivalent.
Procurement. Finds, compares and negotiates what a customer needs to buy.
Supplier comparisons, RFP packs, savings reviews and buying guides.
