What makes us a HYBRID full-service restaurant equipment dealer at One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment?  Call 407.936-FROG and find out the difference!

This is a good question and merits some explanation.  A full-service dealer is one who offers support of the client, installation, delivery, and repair services.  Now, running a full-service dealership obviously is more expensive than simply hiding behind a computer terminal.  That being said it also benefits the customer moreso than someone hiding behind a computer or working from a storage unit.  As a full-service dealer with skilled sales staff having years of experience in the industry, we bring a lot to the table that your normal dealership would not.  Additionally we have skilled warehouse staff who

What does a full-service dealer do?  They iron out the inevitable issues with supply, demand, delivery and installation.  Have issues with the product?   We do our best to handle it all and make it right.  This is our guarantee to you.

At One Fat Frog Restaurant Equipment we provide the foodservice industry with the quality equipment, smallwares, furniture and supplies at an affordable price.  We are a full-service dealer centrally located in Orlando FL and serving the state of Florida and national and international clientele.  We supply restaurants, clubhouses, golfcourses, hotels, country clubs, motels, private schools, preschools, institutions, government bid, daycares, c-stores, bars, hospitals, fast food, concessions, catering, coffee shops and similar businesses with the equipment they need to operate.

What are you looking for?  We sell equipment from all of the leading manufacturers.  We are familiar with many brands and come across used equipment extensively and can give you information on longevity and how equipment holds up over time.  This differs from the strictly new dealers who only work with new equipment.  

At One Fat Frog New & Used Restaurant Equipment sells new and used restaurant equipment and supplies through a showroom and warehouse in Orlando FL and online.  The main website features product information, FAQs, product specifics and cut sheets on both new and used equipment.  Often it is difficult to find information from manufacturer’s or from their websites, let New Used Restaurant Equipment help you.

Are you looking for something on our site?  Give us a call at 407-936-FROG so that we may help you personally.  That individual touch is what makes the difference between an anonymous big computer dealer and a personalized sales experience.

Equipment finance and lease programs for new and used equipment.  We are a full-service dealer who can assist you in any of your food service industry needs.  We have partners throughout the field who can assist in new construction & renovations of space, build outs, drawings and approvals, engineering, floors, walls, tiles, ceilings, paneling, trim, woodwork, counters- granite and laminate, display cases, countertop displays, buffets and sneezeguards, remodeling, tiles and tiling, concrete floor renewal, kitchen consulting, design and layout, floors and ceilings.  We can help you with everything you need to startup your new business- from classes and testing for Food Service Manager certificate to books and resources from our new restaurant resource center.

USED Taylor soft serve machines- serial number & age

September 18, 2008
Ice Cream is always in seaon in Florida

Ice Cream is always in seaon in Florida

Would you like to purchase or to BUY a used Taylor Soft Serve Machine? Then One Fat Frog is the place to go. These Taylor soft serve ice cream machines are super dependable and just keep on working. In our business it’s not always the age so much as the shape the item is in for the price. For bank financing, it’s often the case they wish to know the age of the item. For this purpose, looking at the serial number on your Taylor soft serve machine is the key.

The serial number will begin with a letter followed by four numbers.

  • FIRST LETTER: stands for the decade: H = 1980s / I was not used/ J= 1990s / K – 2000s
  • FIRST NUMBER: stands for the specific year in the decade
  • SECOND & THIRD NUMBERS: stand for the specific month

So, for example a serial number starting with H9 is 1989. If you come across a model K104 it would translate to manufacture date of April 2001.

Age is only a number

There are plenty of Taylor machines out there are still ticking. As I’ve always told the boys: There are 3 things you don’t ask a lady: what’s in her purse? what’s her shoe size? and what’s her age? Just like older women and vintage cars, Taylors are built to last.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and vote positively. See our guides for a long list of restaurant and commercial equipment to help you build your business.

If you’re looking for a used Taylor soft serve machine, please drop us a line. If it’s not in stock it just may be in the warehouse or on its way there. We’d be pleased to post a private buy-it-now for you. We’re just an e-mail or phone call away.

Startup: Pizza delivery shop equipment needs planning

September 22, 2008

One Fat Frog’s quick guide to opening a pizza place.  What sorts of equipment will I need?  Can you explain the equipment to me?  Can you give me some guidance on starting up a pizza business?  This guide will briefly hit on all all of the above questions.  When you’re done reading it, please feel free to peruse our other guides.

First of all, let’s that about what sort of equipment you will need: good oven (wood burning, stone deck, conveyor), commercial mixer with dough hook, megatop pizza prep station cooler, reach in refrigerator for beverages, refrigerator and freezer for supplies, storage for boxes.  Optional- soda fountain, dough sheeter, kegerator, pizza display warmer, POS systems.

What is a prep station? What is the difference between megatops/ mega-tops and traditional salad, sandwich, deli prep tables?  One Fat Frog has written this short guide to help you understand the basics needed when purchasing a new or used prep station for the commercial kitchen setting.  Let’s talk a little about commercial preparation stations.

A commercial prep station or cooler has a refrigerated area on the top that closes when not in use.  In this area or in these pans is where you would store the toppings (think tomatoes and other condiments).  If you are making pizzas you would store cheese, sauce, mushrooms and black olives in this area. You may find that used make tables are missing this top lid because high volume shops tend rip them off for ease of use.

All of these units have a refrigerator underneath the counter area and a hooded area that covers pans in which you can put cold prep items.  For example if you were making pizza you would put your pineapple, tomato sauce, cheeses, mushrooms, olives in this area.  In fact if you’ve ever been through a Subway sub shop you will have seen a variation on this in their line.  Their sandwich sub prep stations are actually part of their serving line.

Favorite sizes of sandwich prep tables are 48, 60 and 72 inches with between one and three doors; units with four or more doors are also available.  These standard sizes are often found in the used restaurant equipment market.

Now the last question is what differentiates a prep station cooler from a megatop? The main difference is that the megatop has a deeper cutting board area which will hold pizza dough.

3 phase electric converter use in restaurant equipment

September 22, 2008

Thanks to One Fat Frog Commercial & Restaurant Equipment for this guide and set of frequently asked questions.  This guide to 3 phase electric converter use in restaurant equipment.  This guide shall work as a quick fact guide for the topic, it should not replace the consultation or services of a licensed electrician.

  • Is it important to figure out the power source?
    • Yes.  When buying used restaurant equipment it is integral that you figure out the:
      • power source
        • natural gas
        • LP gas aka Propane gas (you can get this installed via tank if you don’t have it at your facility)
        • single phase electric or three phase electric. (every building does NOT have 3 phase)
        • may determine whether or not the equipment will work in your facility.
  • What are the possibilities on three phase?
    • There are a few possibilities on three phase:
      • Does your building perhaps have three phase but your business doesn’t have it?
        • If this is true then it’s merely a line pull by a licensed electrician.
      • If you don’t have three phase you can look at purchasing a phase converter.
      • You will want to talk to manufacturer service technician and/ or local electrician about using a phase converter with specific equipment.

But, this opens up opportunities in purchasing specialized used restaurant equipment.

GET AROUNDS

There are solutions to converting your power source.  You can by a step down or up phase converter to convert the electrical needs of a piece of equipment.  Prepare to pay a rather high price for this or to have three phase brought into your facility if you don’t have three phase electric there.  As to natural gas versus lp or propane, there are conversion kits but if you’re not dealing with a dealer prepare to for a headache.  A full-service dealer will be able to service your equipment and efficiently install a conversion kit onto your piece of equipment.


purchasing used restaurant equipment Orlando FL online

September 22, 2008

This guide will give you a few tips to purchasing used restaurant equipment online and in person.  As dealers of new and used restaurant equipment from our brick and mortar store in Sanford, FL (just north of Orlando and the mouse) we know a thing or two about used restaurant equipment.  If I were a buyer, here is the stuff I would ask:

  • does it work?  Can I send a friend by to look at it working?
  • are you a dealer?  Do you sell new equipment?  (Manufacturers don’t just let anyone sell equipment)
  • do you have a store or do you sell from your home or a mini-storage?  Obviously folks selling from their home or a mini-storage have a lot less to lose by making fast deals.  Also refrigeration that has been stored for a while may not work or need a charge.  At our store we have a refrigeration tech who checks for these things.
  • did the unit belong to you?  Do you know its history?  Do you have other equipment from the same restaurant?  Look at the other equipment from the same restaurant- that will tell you if they kept a clean house or bea tup their equipment.
  • Really you can’t go wrong working with a full-service dealer.  This is someone who is all about the value-added service.  After all, isn’t your restaurant about the ambience- the value added service- the server- the manager- the quality of food?  Isn’t the experience about the waiter helping you after they serve the food?  And so it should be when you purchase new or used restaurant equipment.  While pricing is good, it’s also important to have that support after the sale, just as you want support after the meal is prepared.

All in all, buying used restaurant equipment should be an excellent experience for all parties involved.  Look at the terms of sale, be familiar with guarantees- if any, and get to know your seller.  If you can’t call them before the sale chances are … well you know what chances are.
