Here at Food Service HQ, we’re passionate about helping you find the right equipment for your needs, whether you’re in the process of opening up your own food business or are a seasoned professional looking to upgrade some of your old tools. We cover everything from restaurants, to cafes, to bakeries and even food trucks! If you aren’t currently working or are looking to enter the foodservice industry, we will help give you all of the tips you need to be successful. We really can’t get enough of sharing our love and expertise on food!
We are a collection of dedicated kitchen folk, with dreams of one day owning our own restaurant. Until then, we’ll grind the opens and try to avoid the brunch shifts (if we can) all while honing our skills, studying up on everything Food Service and bringing you the good stuff here!
We know it can be challenging to find the best equipment, especially if you’re in the process of starting a business from the ground up. Even if you’ve been in the food business industry for a while, we know that sifting through an extensive list of options isn’t optimal with so many new tools coming out.
No matter what your situation is, our experienced team will guide you with the information you need. Whether that be finding the perfect commercial gravy boat or tart pan, we’ve got your back.
Food Service HQ is here to help you find the best kitchen equipment, restaurant supplies, serveware and flatware, and even furniture for all of your needs. If you’ve been thinking about opening up your own small business, we also have comprehensive guides on starting your own cafe or bakery.
How This Works
Everyone here at Food Service HQ has extensive experience in the restaurant industry; we’re a team made up of professional chefs, restaurateurs, and business owners.
When you read our best-of reviews and guides, you can rest assured that we’ve extensively used the equipment and supplies in a professional setting and not just as one-off cooking experiments. So, when you pick up that shiny new gravy boat we raved about, you know it will become a reliable kitchen staple!
We know that new business owners can become overwhelmed by all of the options that exist out there, not to mention the hefty price tag that comes with new kitchen equipment (we’re looking at you, expensive convection rack oven)!
If you’ve ever wondered how our approach to reviewing the best products in the food service industry goes, we’ll let you in on our secret:
- We will only post a product review if we have tried the items in our own kitchens, whether at a cafe, dive bar, bakery, banquet hall, or home kitchen. Many of the products mentioned have been staples for us over the years, and if we want to share new products we love, we make sure that we’ve weighed the pros and cons of every feature.
- We take note of how the equipment works throughout its entire usage. If we notice that it performs well during cooking but doesn’t stand up well to a commercial dishwasher, we’ll reevaluate and find a better care method, or we won’t suggest it!
- While our writers are the authority to everything and anything food service-related, we also have an editorial team that provides support and suggestions, should the writer ever need assistance.

Passion, exploration, curiosity, and entrepreneurship.
