Running a business in the hospitality industry is challenging. Equipment breaks down. Operational requirements change. Imagine a finance solution that gives you the flexibility to
‘change direction’ quickly to overcome challenges when they arise.
The Silver Chef Rent-Try-Buy® Solution allows business owners like Vicky Houghton, Owner of The Earth Market Cafe, an organic fresh food market and café in Western Australia, to ‘try before they buy’. This reduces the financial risk for business owners like Vicky, because they have the power to make informed decisions about which equipment is best suited to their business needs.
“I like the Rent-Try-Buy® Solution…the item can be exchanged if it turns out not to suit the purpose,” says Vicky. “This facility has helped our business grow because we were able to ‘change directions’ more easily.”
Like many other similar businesses, Earth Market Café ‘inherited’ much of their equipment from previous owners. Time passed and equipment no longer suited the business. Because they had invested in the Rent-Try-Buy® Solution, they had the flexibility to continue renting equipment that suited their purpose and for equipment that was not satisfactory, they had the option to either upgrade like for like, or hand the equipment back at the end of the agreement.
“If we had bought the fridge-display cabinet that we returned outright, we would have been in a great deal of difficulty because it simply didn’t work for us,” says Vicky.
The Rent-Try-Buy® Solution allowed The Earth Market Café to make the changes necessary to grow their business in a way that they were comfortable with, rather than the way their finance provider dictated.
“We were able to ‘change directions’ in the way we displayed our products to our customers,” says Vicky. “This has and will continue to save us a lot of stress and money.”
