Anyone know where to get decent commercial kitchen equipment without paying restaurant depot prices? I'm opening a small deli and my startup budget is pretty tight

Online is definitely cheaper most of the time. I outfitted my whole pizza shop by shopping around different sites and comparing prices. Found https://www.amgoodsupply.com/ has competitive pricing on stainless steel restaurant equipment and their shipping was faster than expected. What helped me was making a list of must-have items first, then shopping for deals on each piece separately instead of buying everything from one place. Saved me probably 30% compared to local quotes. Just make sure whatever you buy meets health code requirements for your area
