Financing and lease-to-own equipment for Toronto restaurants
The most common reason Toronto operators delay an equipment upgrade is upfront cost, and it is also the most solvable. TFI offers lease-to-own financing and rentals so the equipment can start earning before it is fully paid off. When the machine you are financing carries a high margin, the payments are effectively funded by the sales and savings it generates. The clearest example is a fryer. Because Henny Penny fryers cut oil use by 40%, the oil savings alone offset a meaningful share of a monthly lease payment. The same logic applies to Taylor and Franke programmes, where 70 to 80% and 80%+ gross margins shorten payback to well under two years.
We’re Here to Help
Local service, parts and installation across the GTA
A supplier is only as good as its response when equipment goes down, and this is where local reach matters most for Toronto operators searching for a restaurant equipment supplier near them. From our Mississauga headquarters and Bolton facility, TFI provides installation, training, planned maintenance and 24/7 emergency repair across Toronto and the GTA, delivered by factory-trained technicians who renew their certification annually and work with genuine OEM parts.
Equipment for everyone
New vs. used restaurant equipment in Toronto
Several Toronto suppliers lead with used inventory, and used equipment has a place, especially for a first location or a tight opening budget. TFI offers certified used equipment that is inspected and backed by warranty. The right choice depends on the machine. For high-use, high-margin equipment like fryers, soft serve and coffee systems, new equipment usually wins on reliability, warranty and financing terms that spread the cost. For lower-use support equipment, certified used can free up capital.

Buying used restaurant equipment in Toronto: what to check first
Toronto has one of the deepest used restaurant equipment markets in Canada, spread across auction houses, liquidators, restaurant closures and online listings. Before you buy privately, check four things: whether the unit still has a manufacturer serial plate, whether parts are still produced for that model, whether it was maintained on a service record, and whether anyone will warranty it. A cheap machine that no technician will touch is not a saving. TFI's certified used inventory is inspected, brought back to spec with genuine OEM parts and sold with warranty, and it carries the same installation and service coverage as new equipment. For the machines that run open to close, compare a certified used unit against a new one on lease-to-own before deciding, because the monthly payment gap is often smaller than operators expect.
Installation and commissioning
Commercial kitchen equipment installation across Toronto
TFI installs and commissions the equipment we sell rather than dropping it at your loading dock. A typical Toronto install covers site review before delivery, confirming gas, electrical, water and ventilation requirements against your kitchen, placement and levelling, connection and start-up testing, then hands-on training for your team on the machine they will run every shift. Our technicians are factory-trained on Taylor, Franke, Henny Penny, LightFry and Icetro, renew their certifications annually and work with genuine OEM parts. Because the same team installs and services the unit, there is no gap between the sale and the first repair call. Downtown Toronto sites with tight access, freight elevators or restricted delivery windows are routine for us, so tell us the constraints early and we will schedule around them.
Toronto restaurant equipment FAQs
Where can I buy commercial restaurant equipment in Toronto?
Toronto buyers can choose among broad-line supply stores, used-equipment specialists, online marketplaces, and authorized brand dealers. TFI serves Toronto and the GTA as an authorized dealer of Taylor, Franke, Henny Penny, LightFry and Icetro, with lease-to-own financing, installation and 24/7 service from its Mississauga headquarters and Bolton facility. For a full market overview before you buy, see the Toronto and GTA buyer guide.
How much does restaurant equipment cost in Toronto?
Equipment cost depends on format and menu, so a small cafe and a full-service kitchen sit far apart. Rather than quote a single figure, TFI models the equipment to your menu and volume, then structures financing so payback aligns with the margin each machine generates. High-margin categories recover fastest: Taylor frozen programmes run 70 to 80% gross profit with 6 to 18 month payback. With Canadian foodservice sales reaching $96.5 billion in 2024, operators competing for that spend increasingly treat equipment efficiency as a margin strategy. Request a quote to get numbers for your specific build.
Do you offer used or leased restaurant equipment in Toronto?
Yes. TFI offers certified used equipment that is inspected and warrantied, plus lease-to-own financing and rentals. Leasing lets the equipment start earning before it is paid off, and on high-margin machines the payments are substantially offset by the sales and savings the equipment produces, for example the 40% oil reduction on Henny Penny fryers.
What is the difference between a restaurant supply store and an equipment dealer?
A restaurant supply store typically stocks a broad catalogue of smallwares, tableware, refrigeration and a mix of new and used equipment, often self-serve online. An authorized equipment dealer like TFI focuses on specific brands, sells them with manufacturer-backed warranties, and adds financing, installation, training and ongoing service. For revenue-generating equipment such as soft serve, coffee and fryers, the dealer model keeps sales, warranty and repair with one accountable partner, which reduces downtime risk.
Which areas of the Greater Toronto Area does TFI serve?
TFI serves the full GTA from its Mississauga headquarters and Bolton facility, including Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Etobicoke, Scarborough, North York, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton and Milton, with installation, planned maintenance and 24/7 emergency repair across the region.
What equipment do you need to open a restaurant in Toronto?
Most new Toronto kitchens need cooking equipment (a fryer, an oven or combi oven, and a grill), refrigeration, prep and warewashing stations, and any category-specific machines your menu calls for, such as a soft-serve unit, slush machine or super-automatic coffee system. The efficient approach is to start with the menu and let projected volume dictate machine size, then prioritise the equipment that drives the most margin first. TFI scopes Toronto kitchens of every format, from single independents to multi-unit franchise groups, and can structure financing so the highest-return machines, like Taylor frozen programmes at 70 to 80% gross profit, start earning before they are paid off.
