Scratch and Dent Outlet

Scratch and dent restaurant equipment is commercial foodservice equipment offered at a discount because of cosmetic damage or other imperfections. Depending on the individual item, this could include scratches, dents, scuffs, packaging damage, or other blemishes. Review the specific product listing for information about an item's condition.

Not necessarily. Scratch and dent equipment may have cosmetic imperfections without having experienced significant previous use. Other products in our outlet may be lightly used, open-box, returned, or otherwise specially priced. Check each product listing for details about that particular item.

Lightly used restaurant equipment is commercial foodservice equipment that has experienced some previous use but is being offered for resale. The amount and type of previous use can vary by product, so customers should review the individual item's description and condition before purchasing.

Inventory varies depending on what is currently available. You may find commercial refrigeration, cooking equipment, food prep equipment, warming and holding equipment, ice equipment, stainless steel equipment, storage products, serving equipment, and other restaurant and institutional foodservice equipment.

Scratch and dent equipment can be a cost-effective option for foodservice operations where minor cosmetic imperfections are less important than overall equipment value. It can help restaurants and institutional kitchens stretch their equipment budgets and potentially purchase commercial-grade equipment for less than comparable standard inventory.

Used commercial kitchen equipment can be a practical option when budget, replacement cost, or overall value is a priority. Before purchasing used equipment, review the item's condition, specifications, dimensions, utility requirements, and any applicable warranty or return information to make sure it fits your operation.

Savings vary by product. The price can depend on the type of equipment, brand, condition, age, cosmetic damage, and other factors. Compare the outlet price and product condition with your other equipment options to determine the best value for your operation.

Warranty coverage can vary by item, manufacturer, and product condition. Review the individual product listing or contact Cook's Direct before purchasing if warranty coverage is important to your decision.

Return eligibility may vary based on the individual product and its condition. Review the applicable product and return information before ordering, or contact Cook's Direct if you have questions about a specific outlet item.

Scratch and dent, open-box, and lightly used equipment is dependent on availability, so inventory can change over time. Check the Cook's Direct Scratch & Dent Outlet regularly to see the latest available restaurant and commercial kitchen equipment deals.

Review the item's condition, photos, dimensions, electrical or gas requirements, capacity, specifications, model number, and any available warranty or return information. You should also make sure the equipment will fit your space and that your facility has the appropriate utilities and connections before ordering.
