How to prepare catering equipment for buyer collection

Preparing catering equipment for collection starts with agreeing when the appliance can be taken out of service. Arrange any necessary professional disconnection before the buyer or carrier arrives.

Clean and prepare the equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions, allowing it to cool or drain where appropriate. Gather the included shelves, trays, baskets and documents so they can be checked against the listing.

Confirm who supplies handling equipment and who is responsible for loading. Photograph the condition at handover and record which items and accessories have been collected.
