Starting a Bar or Restaurant in Canada – Source Employees, Equipment with RestoEquip.com

In the last few weeks, I’ve made an amazing discovery travelling around Montreal. If you’re a bar owner and you’re closing down your operation, your options for selling your equipment are very limited. Sure, you could place them on eBay and pray that someone in Montreal finds your posting in the ocean of confusion that is the auction site. Or, you could go to a used equipment distributor; where you’ll have to sell your equipment for pennies on the dollar.

During the last few weeks, I’ve met quite a few of these distributors. These guys are clever. A long time ago, they figured out that when a restaurant, bar or hotel is closing down, they have a lot of used goods that can be acquired at bottom-dollar prices and re-sold at HUGE premiums. It’s quite a money making machine. As one of these ‘old timers’ explained to us, he buys some items for 200$ which he then re-sells for 3000$ (yes – that’s three THOUSAND). Unbelievable!

When you think about the above, you can view it as the distributor making 2800$, or the restaurant / bar owner losing 2800$. Reasons given to us for this huge margin markup is straightforward: restaurant, bar and hotel owners don’t have a specific marketplace to sell their equipment outside of local distributors. There simply isn’t one place an owner-operator can go to in order to get top-dollar on his bar or restaurant equipment, which targets other restaurant and bar owners looking to buy used equipment.

That’s why we started this website. Our classified ads site is simple to use, and lets you maximize the sale price of your used restaurant and bar equipment. The concept is very simple. Our site mainly attracts visitors that are looking to buy used restaurant and bar equipment. You post a paid classified ad (with a description, pictures, etc…), and you wait for calls from other interested bar and restaurant owners. Instead of losing hundreds (or perhaps thousands) of dollars, you can sell your used restaurant or bar equipment directly to other owners that are interested in buying this type equipment.

By using our site, you avoid selling your used equipment to distributors at extremely low prices. Owners opening a new bar and existing restaurant operators are willing to pay good prices for restaurant equipment in good condition. Our site lets you pocket that extra profit, which you normally wouldn’t get by selling to a used equipment distributor.
