Food Equipment is a commercial kitchen equipment supplier at 1066 Hinemoa Street in Rotorua, with a showroom there. Its website says it was established in 1967 and is New Zealand's longest-serving supplier of commercial kitchen, buffet and hospitality equipment. It sells induction cookers, buffet equipment, cookware and front-of-house tableware, and it is an authorised service agent for KitchenAid, Magimix and Guzzini. The range includes Guzzini induction cookware and refrigeration, freestanding and benchtop cookers, drop-in burner ranges, induction drop-in warmers and chafers, and island buffets. The business offers after-sales service and genuine parts. Orders can be placed online with nationwide delivery.
The company also has an in-house design team that has fitted out hotels, marae and hospitality venues, and handles a project from first sketch to final install. Finance is available through two partners: flexicommercial, which offers a lease from a single appliance to a full fit-out, and SilverChef, which offers a 12-month rental plan with the option to return, upgrade or buy, and a medium-term plan with ownership at the end. For a Rotorua café, restaurant, marae or hotel that is equipping or refitting a commercial kitchen, the showroom is a practical starting point.
