How is it profitable to buy commercial equipment?

What is the trading equipment for a grocery store?

The grocery store of whatever format you use offers a wide variety of food products that require special storage and sale conditions. In addition to food products in modern supermarkets, minimarkets, grocery stores are sold related products - household chemicals, hygiene products, household goods. Each group of goods should be located on specialized trading equipment.

Refrigerating trade equipment . These are refrigerated counters, or showcases, cooled vertical displays, or cooling hills, as well as mid-temperature bonbons. All these subgroups in turn are divided into equipment with a mode from 0 to + 7C and equipment with a temperature regime from -2 to +2. The first serve for the laying out and sale of foods such as milk, sausages and meat delicacies, cheeses, vegetables and fruits. For the laying out and sale of chilled meat and semi-finished products, fish preserves, you will need refrigerated showcases of the second type, having a lower temperature in the working volume. Refrigerated showcases and slides are the most expensive among commercial equipment.

Freezing trade equipment . As the name implies, freezing showcases give out low temperatures in the working volume (from 0 to -18C). Freezing trade equipment includes bonbons, or freezers, chests and chest-boxes, freezers, freezers with transparent or all-metal doors, as well as combined cupboards. Freezers have a wide variety of design and performance technology. The cost of freezing displays is similar to refrigeration - quite high.

Neutral trading equipment. This is the widest segment of commercial equipment, which allows you to spread and sell products that do not require special conditions for storage and sale. This is the racks, and showcases, and counters, and hung for clothes. Commercial racks and display cases are often made of metal or chipboard. They are cheap enough. They are used in absolutely all spheres of trade.

Merchandising systems. It is impossible to open a store without a whole range of trivia: price holders, shopping baskets, carts, cells, advertising displays, volume dividers on shelves and for bonfires. All these accessories are the finishing touch for any store, both the counter form, and self-service.

Warehouse equipment. These are specialized warehouse racks having a larger load threshold. Also included are large freezers and refrigerators and similar cameras. Such equipment is purchased in combination with commercial equipment. In a large store you need to buy rollers and loaders, which will help in the work of warehouse staff and increase efficiency.

Technological equipment. A huge segment, used for integrated equipment shops. In the shop, the meat and culinary workshops are most often arranged, and also the fish workshop is sometimes made. Each type of workshop requires special equipment that allows you to separate, process, pack the goods. Most often from the "technology" buy stoves, combi steamers, which are almost the top of the technology in the preparation of cooking, saws, sinks, specialized tables and sinks. The workshops have a complex scheme of equipment and they need to be planned in conjunction with the entire store in a professional shop-building company.

How is it profitable to buy commercial equipment?

Let's just say that the hard and thoughtless savings in the purchase of commercial equipment has not yet helped anyone to save money. When the estimates are simply cut and huge discounts are required, the result will be substandard work of the contractor (no one will work well for pennies!) And a chaotic purchase of "cropped" items from the budget at prohibitively high prices. To advantageously buy the trading equipment and it is profitable to open a store, you need to perform a few simple steps:

1. Create a clear TK, which specify the required parameters for all types of equipment. It is important to know in advance the minimum acceptable budget, which is also worth mentioning in the Technical Task. The technical assignment is to be sent to well-known companies engaged in complex shop construction.
2. Independently to study the market of the trading equipment, responses of colleagues for each brand. When you understand the question, it is easier to make a decision. Choose 2-3 acceptable brands of commercial equipment that fully satisfy you in terms of functionality, line-up and reliability. Adhere to your choice during the tender.
3. Qualitatively to work out the design of the store design up to the smallest detail. Then you will avoid unnecessary spending of nerves and money before opening.
4. Naturally, you need to ask for a discount from each contractor. It is also important to understand that the lowest price is not always the best result. Make sure that when giving discounts, the contractor does not delete important minor items, such as price holders, from the estimate. Choose a contractor with a solid reputation, with an adequate price that fits into your pre-calculated budget.

Such measures will help to equip the store on a turnkey basis on time, qualitatively and technologically.
