At Foodservice Markets, we streamline the process of selling and liquidating equipment for foodservice establishments with transparency, efficiency, and maximum exposure to qualified buyers. Here’s how our process works:
1. Create an Itemized Inventory List
We begin by cataloging all equipment, gathering detailed information on each item to ensure buyers have full visibility.
Details Included:
• Item Name
• Model/Serial Number
• Dimensions
• Quantity
• Item Description/Features
• Asking Price
• Final Sale Price
• Item Status
• Manufacturer or Retailer URL
• Google Photo URL
• Item Location
• Notes (e.g., accessories, wear, etc.)
All data is documented in a centralized Google Sheet for easy updating and sharing.
2. Organize Photos in a Central Location
• Capture clear, high-resolution images of each item from multiple angles.
• Upload to a shared Google Photos Album or Google Drive folder.
• Match photo captions or file names to items in the inventory list.
• Link images directly within the Google Sheet for seamless reference.
3. Set Up a Shareable Inventory
• The Google Sheet serves as a live, centralized catalog of all available items.
• A view-only shareable link is created to ensure accuracy while giving buyers easy access.
4. Advertise the Sale
We promote your inventory to a broad audience of industry buyers through:
• Facebook Marketplace
• Craigslist
• eBay
• Specialized foodservice forums and buyer groups
Each ad includes:
• A brief overview of the liquidation
• A link to the live inventory list
• Contact details for inquiries
5. Buyer Engagement and Sale Management
• We coordinate buyer visits to either the onsite or offsite location for equipment inspection and selection.
• Pickup dates and logistics are organized directly with buyers.
• Transactions are handled professionally and efficiently.
6. Post-Sale Inventory Updates
• Inventory is updated regularly to reflect sold items.
• Remaining items continue to be marketed until liquidation is complete.
Onsite vs. Offsite Liquidation
• Onsite Sales: Equipment remains at your location, and buyers come to you. We charge a 25% commission for onsite liquidation.
• Offsite Sales: We relocate your equipment to our facility and manage all logistics. Due to the added cost of handling and transportation, we charge a 50% commission for offsite liquidation.
