Question for those Catering

Minority or Vet owned have a good chance of getting money and having a good business plan in order is a must. I have an accountant that also wrights grants and knows who to get SBA loans and so my wife is know the owner of the business.This process and take up to a year for grant money and a few months for SBA loans. I used equity in my house to start up and am planning on paying back with grant/SBA loans along with buying new equipment.
 
I thought about that route, but opted to start small first and build over the course of 4 years. I only got a truck note now and insurance payments.

My grandparents passed a few years ago and left my siblings, uncles and aunts a little something. It was not much divided by seven, but it was they had to give us. I thought what better way to honor them by putting it to good use purchasing a rig. They would turn over in their graves if I abused it!

You never get through buying smaller supplies though.

Wish I had photochop at work!
 
I have a question for you catering folks. I want to buy a Cambro beverage dispenser. We do not have any big restaurant supply stores anywhere close by and the small place here wants an arm and a leg for everything. What online restaurant supply companies do you use and trust? I ordered something from InstaWares once and it took almost a year to get a refund from them after I'd paid for something that they neglected to tell me was out of stock and I decided to cancel my order.

Thanks!

Check ebay also have found some good deals on them also.
 
I have been to Smart & Final and have determined that most of their restaurant supplies are on the expensive side of the margin. I found a local restaurant supply store that saved me a lot more $. Although, keep an I out for sales at S&F, because they do have some good deals.

Equippers has some great deals as well. That's where I got my chafers. Cost, including delivery, was cheaper than S&F.
