Kitchen Equipment

If you are a restaurant, your commercial kitchen may be bursting at the seams. You can even be doing catering on the side line. Those materials that you do not often need to run your restaurant on a daily basin can be kept in a storage unit to give you more room to move around your kitchen. This will be able to give your staff more breathing space, avoiding unwanted collisions that can lead to spills, burns, and other untoward accidents.

You can put your big chafing dishes, cutlery, dinnerware, and glassware that you need for your catering jobs here in the storage unit. Your chocolate fountain, fondue pot, on the spot grill, and others that are used on occasion can be stored here. You can also add other kitchen equipment that are not in use like an extra ice chest freezer or even an old oven that you no longer use but can’t seem to part with.

With any storage facility, my concerns are, number one, safety and theft of my items — how well are they going to be cared for? Are they going to be damaged, shaken around, especially in a pod? Then also ease of access — it’s not like a roll-up-door storage locker where you can just go and get in; it has to be brought out. And I thought, boy, all that moving around, it’s going to be a wreck. And cost, and so on. And then, working with the people there — how easy is that going to be?

I was very pleased with the service. When I first packed up, I didn’t order enough pods, and here I am in the middle of moving, on a deadline — I have to fly out across the Pacific, so it’s not like I can wait around. I needed more pods. They delivered me more pods on the spot, and I packed them up.

Over the years — and I’ve been here quite a few years, because I moved from the mainland to Hawaii, and now from Hawaii to Panama — I’ve had these storage lockers for years. I went from four to three, three to two, and now two to one. Every time I’ve had to come here or contact them, they’re Johnny-on-the-spot, so accommodating. When I call in to make my payments, I almost feel like I work here now, because I know everybody so well. They’re very understanding and easy to work with.

I’ve had other storage lockers — this is the best experience I’ve ever had. That’s why I’ve been here so long. My kids are already saying they’re going to use Box-n-Go when they move. You don’t think your stuff’s going to be in storage that long, but it is. And with all the ins and outs of the pods, nothing has ever been damaged. Not one thing. So I’m very pleased. Very pleased.

If you’re going to be out of state, your stuff’s secure, it’s taken care of, it’s not deteriorating. We had a leather saddle in there for years — I said to my husband, it’s going to be full of mold, even your shoes get moldy when they’re locked up. We took it out — it’s perfect. It’s temperature controlled, all of it. I couldn’t be happier. I would definitely recommend them. I have recommended them.

This was the first time I was renting storage. My first concerns were: where was the storage place, and was it safe? I’m putting all my valuables and keepsakes — things that are really important to me — so it was really important that they felt safe, that the company was a real company I trusted. Also the cost — how much was it going to be? I didn’t want to have to worry, while I’m out traveling, about being hit with all these fees on top of it, or weird things. So those were the main concerns.

What surprised me the most — there are so many things I could say, but I guess just how easy it was. I had no idea. The whole process was very easy. When I moved everything, the box came to me, I put everything in there — it was just so simple and affordable. And then even getting into my storage: because I decided to keep traveling a little bit longer, it was super easy just to drop in, take stuff out or put some in. It was just so easy. And I felt very safe. So it totally blew my expectations of what I thought storage would be, because it’s just been very pleasant.

I recommend them all the time to many people — mostly because I feel safe, I feel like my storage is in a safe place, and just because of how easy and affordable this whole process has been.

When I first called Box-n-Go, I spoke to Frank, and he was very thorough with the information I needed — sizes, prices and rates, the contract based on the number of months, any specials. I thought, wow, he’s giving me everything; I’m not really having to ask. I liked that a lot — the information was provided up front. I told him I’d take everything, look through it, do some research, and come back to him. But I pretty much knew everything he’d said made sense, and I felt really comfortable with him. He was oriented toward good customer service, just on point. I had nothing in my mind that said I wanted to look any further.

I did some searches and Box-n-Go came up. I’d talked to some other people before, but when I got to Box-n-Go I was just like, “You know what? I’ve made my decision.” I had no hesitation about going with anyone else.

The container came to my home, and it was exactly the size I thought it was — no surprises, no “this is too big, this is too small.” I put everything in it, it got picked up, everything was on schedule, exactly as Frank had said. I was definitely pleased.

I really liked working with Frank. He was my point person the whole time I had my storage. I’d call him, he remembered me, and he made every attempt to be on point with everything. When I’d come to the storage facility to check on things — take some out, put some in — he was always there, friendly. And there were the two Stans; customer service was great, the warehouse guys were great. Everyone was friendly, no one was rude, no one was lost or disappeared. They helped me move stuff in, they helped me move stuff out. It was great — even though I was taking my stuff out of storage.

I would recommend them to everyone. So kudos to Frank, the two Stans, the warehouse guys, and Box-n-Go in general.

Inventory Supply

All kinds of businesses have a lot of inventory supply that you need to order in advance to ensure that you can avail of great rates. Typically, the more you buy, the more savings you incur because of bulk pricing. You also need to have these stocks on hand to ensure you don’t run out of merchandise to sell.

However, since some stores have very limited space, your stock rooms are already probably full to the brim. You can use this 5×10 commercial storage unit to keep your stocks safe and sound. Whether you are fashion business, a boating business, or whatever other type of business, you can rent a storage facility to keep your stocks organized.

Product Supplies

Typically, business have a large stock of bulky items that they need such as giant bubble wrap rolls, folded cartons, styro packing shells, bond paper reams, and more. These are usually bought in bulk to avail of discounts. You can pack all of the extras in your commercial storage space, up until the time you need to use them again.

Other specific businesses have also amassed a broad range of materials to get their jobs done. For instance, landscapers and contractors have many tools that they need to store. Think lawn mowers, sanders, leaf blowers, drills, wood slabs, etc. Those will no longer fit in your garage or your pick up truck bed, so it is definitely handy to keep these items in storage.

Just make sure you pick a facility that is open 24 hours, so you can gather materials whenever time you want, especially if you have a super early call time for your client.
