How does SilverChef work?

Unlike traditional lenders, Silver Chef offers hospitality businesses a unique rental solution. This involves leasing equipment upfrontand then making weekly payments over 12 or 24 months. This lease to keep finance solution is a great way for businesses to upgrade their equipment without the high upfront cost.

SilverChef’s Rent-Try-Buy® solution is a 12 month agreement that lets you try before you buy commercial kitchen equipment and gives you five flexible options to choose from throughout the term of your Silver Chef Rental contract with your SilverChef dealer Industry Kitchens.

During your 12-month Rent-Try-Buy agreement, you have the following flexible options: 

  • Upgrade at any time. For example, if you outgrow your two-group coffee machine, replace it with a three-group and simply add the balance to your weekly lease to keep payments.
  • Purchase at any time. Once you know the equipment is right, you can purchase it outright with no penalty. In fact, you'll receive a 75% rebate on all your previous payments.

What can I finance with SilverChef?

Starting or growing a serious hospitality business means serious equipment and capital expenses involved - so SilverChef will finance most types of professional equipment and commercial hospitality equipment available from Industry Kitchens. And if you're starting from scratch, SilverChef can finance your complete fit-out, including custom stainless-steel fixtures and furniture.

Another cost-effective option is SilverChef's range of Certified Used equipment. SilverChef's Certified Used equipment comes from businesses like yours, who have returned equipment through our Rent-Try-Buy product. Most Certified Used equipment is less than 18 months old, has undergone a six-stage refurbishment process and comes with warranty.

Can I upgrade at any time and return the original equipment to SilverChef?

  • The Silverchef upgrade feature is also useful for busy venues that schedule in annual updates of critical equipment. There are few things more frustrating for a hospitality business than dealing with out of warranty breakdowns and expenses.

After your 12-month agreement ends with SilverChef; what next?

  2. Continue renting and keep your options open, while the purchase price continues to reduce with each weekly payment.
  3. Lease to own. Easy Own® lets you own the equipment in the most cost-effective way possible, and without eating into your working capital by purchasing outright. Enjoy a 30% discount on your weekly payments on a 36-month contract; or a 15% discount on your weekly payments on a 24-month contract. You'll own the equipment at the end of the term.
