Starting a restaurant is one of the most exciting business ventures there is: the constant interaction with customers, the excitement of getting new customers, the sense of satisfaction from serving repeat customers, and the thrill of work done well are some of the reasons why. But if you open your restaurant without the supplies you need, you're making it far more difficult on yourself and your staff. You'll have to supply the kitchen and the front of the house, the bar if you have one, and you'll have to equip your restaurant with all the necessary safety equipment.

Restaurant equipment is more important in your kitchen than anywhere else. People are willing to eat great food at a slightly rickety table, but poorly prepared food can't be made up by even the fanciest surroundings. You'll need restaurant supplies like a walk-in cooler and freezer, generous food prep counters, an extensive collection of the most commonly used utensils, commercial stoves and ovens a heavy duty dishwasher, and plenty of shelving.

Of course, the front of the house is important too. In addition to sturdy tables and chairs, you need to have high chairs and booster seats for children. You'll need bar stools for the bar area. Every table will need napkins, silverware, and salt and pepper shakers. Plates, bowls, drinking glasses and coffee cups are necessary, and you will probably want a supply of "to go" cups and take-home boxes for leftovers.

Don't let your restaurant's janitorial supplies be an afterthought. Many people don't think of these when they think of "restaurant supplies," but they're extremely important. Not only will you need mops and buckets, waste receptacles and brooms, but also soap dispensers and perhaps air freshener dispensers for the restrooms. Poorly maintained restrooms can permanently turn customers off to your restaurant, so make sure you have the supplies and stock that you need.

The safety of your restaurant is of critical importance. You have a busy kitchen with people preparing food constantly, and servers coming and going. There is plenty of opportunity for accidents to happen. You'll need to have fire extinguishers on hand both in the kitchen and in the dining area, and you'll also need Exit signs, No Smoking signs and perhaps other safety signage. Aprons, baking pads, oven mits, and even things like chef hats and hairnets are important to restaurant safety, so make sure you have sufficient supplies of these products.

Often you can get the best deals on your restaurant supplies by working with one supply dealer willing to give volume discounts. While price is definitely important, your supplier's expertise and customer service reputation are just as important. You will have to take into account your supplier's shipping costs, their policy on returns, and whether they supply parts for the restaurant equipment you buy from them. Thoroughly researching the provider of your restaurant supplies is critical to your success. Choose wisely and you'll have a partner who is willing to work with you and that you can turn to when it's time to expand, redo your menu, or redecorate. Starting a restaurant is an exciting and challenging endeavor. Don't trust just anyone to provide you with the restaurant supplies you need to run it properly.
