About Us

Best Restaurant Equipment & Design Co. was founded in 1987. From the time of our inception, BEST Restaurant Equipment & Design was set up to cater to our clients with the BEST possible service whether they were ordering one piece of equipment or a full package. We were a small company, but we knew that our customers could benefit from our services; we knew intuitively that “You don’t have to be the Biggest to be the BEST”. This became our simple philosophy and the driving force of our company.

Our focus when we started was to cater to growing chain clients, which we are renown for today throughout the country, but we also found that commercial clients of all kinds valued our services. Today we are proud to provide equipment and supplies to independent restaurateurs, commercial foodservice, school and university dining facilities, as well as C-Stores.

Our leadership takes an active role in the national Foodservice Equipment Distributors Association, as well as in SEFA Supply & Equipment Foodservice Alliance marketing group. We currently employ over 65 associates, which includes: 20 well trained and experienced sales associates, 16 kitchen designers and 4 smallwares/tabletop consultants. We specialize in chain restaurants, contract work, design layout and specify turnkey equipment and furniture packages, as well as specify and supply smallwares packages and customized re-order programs.

In 2016, BEST Restaurant Equipment & Design Co. became an Employee Owned company (better known as an ESOP). We began a dedicated process of training and transitioning our leadership team for the ongoing success and future of our company.
