What our customers say
I was starting a new business and SilverChef sounded like a reasonable way to finance the initial costs as it limits out-of-pocket expenses and allows for tax deductions going forward.
We are a small business that's growing quickly. SilverChef gave us the ability to get professional equipment without breaking the bank!
Financing our new oven through SilverChef was a key decision to be able to maintain our cash-flow sanity.
We have a small business, so we don't have a lot of money to spend on equipment. [SilverChef] financing allows us to get what we need without having to worry about paying for everything all at once.
As a new entrepreneur it's hard to find the help needed, especially in the hospitality industry. SilverChef is giving me the ability to start my business!
SilverChef's financing is easy and transparent, and they understand the hospitality industry.
The process is smooth, simple and straightforward. SilverChef obviously thinks about bakery and restaurant owners who are too busy cooking or baking to deal with lots of paperwork.
SilverChef offers one of the best financing options for new businesses. The process was very easy and quick and the service outstanding.
I decided to finance my equipment through SilverChef as they can help business owners turn their plans into reality. They've got a great track record...and are a trusted company.
Still curious? Here's some common questions.
Can I purchase restaurant equipment from SilverChef?
The commercial kitchen equipment on our website is only available to rent.
Our Rent-Try-Buy solution allows you to pay for the equipment in manageable, weekly amounts that protect your business's cash flow.
If after trying the equipment it proves to be exactly what you're after, you can buy it at any time. (You'll just need to give us four weeks' notice of your intention to buy,)
(You can also upgrade the equipment at any time or, after 12 months, continue renting it or send it back to us if it's no longer suitable.)
Can I physically inspect the equipment before ordering it?
The commercial kitchen equipment advertised on our website can only be viewed online; we do not have bricks-and-mortar showrooms.
This digital business model enables us to minimize our overheads and, in turn, offer our customers competitively priced restaurant equipment to rent, try and buy.
Our brand-new equipment is sourced from reputable and trusted manufacturers and, for extra peace of mind, generally comes with a one- to five-year parts-and-labor warranty.
If you have any questions about any of our equipment, please contact us.
Why does SilverChef operate only in Washington and Oregon?
SilverChef, which founded in Australia more than 35 years ago, launched in the United States in 2023.
We've also been operating in Canada since 2013 — our headquarters there are in Vancouver.
So, for our first foray into the US, we're best able to serve the Pacific Northwest, specifically Washington and Oregon.
We look forward to expanding our product offering to additional states in the near future.
