Updating your restaurant equipment is one of the most significant investments an owner can make. Add that to the constant need for new dishware, flatware, and glasses. The ability to purchase restaurant supplies online is a convenience that many restaurant owners can't live without. The question is, what are the best companies to buy from? Here are some suggestions.

"Amazon isn't the platform you think of when you want to buy restaurant supplies online, but the world's largest retailer has an extensive collection of products. Amazon has a specific page set aside for food service equipment and supplies. Business owners can buy commercial kitchen equipment, refrigeration, cookware, furniture, restaurant appliances, storage products, and more. The platform houses many of the largest brands in the industry.
One primary benefit of using Amazon is its internal review system. Verified buyers can review products and highlight flaws, benefits, and other core features. This process helps you understand the quality of a product before you purchase it. Shipping will vary depending on the items you are buying. Amazon Prime members benefit from free shipping on a variety of restaurant products. However, some large-ticket items will still have independent shipping costs, primarily if Amazon doesn't directly fulfill the order. Amazon is also a great online resource for checking the latest prices and reviews on restaurant furniture, like tables and chairs."

"By bartenders, for bartenders." Mark Hastings created BarProducts in 1995 with one goal in mind. Starting with one product, Mark took to the internet to forge one of the first eCommerce sites specifically made for the bar industry. Since our humble beginnings, we've become one of the largest online bar suppliers worldwide. With over 10,000 products, two central warehouse locations, and 60+ employees, we now cater to bartenders, bar owners, home bar enthusiasts, nightclubs, restaurants, and more. We employ bartenders and bar managers in all facets of our company, and our goal is to stay focused on upcoming trends. We know what it takes to run successful bars. Perhaps most importantly, we know the costs, so all our products come with a Low Price Guarantee. We are the primary manufacturer of most products, cutting out the "middleman" to pass the savings on to you. Chief among our brands, you'll find the BarConic® line of quality, economically-priced glass, plastic, and polycarbonate drinkware products and the SHOTZ® line of disposable and reusable nightclub and party products.
If you decide to use an online restaurant supplies company, keep these points in mind.
First, only use a supplier that offers affordable shipping — expensive shipping might negate the value of using the online service. Secondly, use a company that offers low minimum order thresholds. Otherwise, you might not be able to make small purchases.
