About The Restaurant Source
Our Story
Dear Valued Customer:
Welcome to the Restaurant Source online. The Restaurant Source was started in 1951, we are a privately held company based in Denver, Colorado.
Our primary business is designing, selling and installing food service supplies and equipment. Our current customers are commercial food service
operations such as hotels, restaurants, chains and institutions. The Restaurant Source website was launched to give our customers the ability to
shop on line at their own time and pace.
We feel this is the most comprehensive food service supply and equipment resource on line. You will find an extensive list of products on our website.
Most products are readily available, our goal is to ship within 24 hours. Some products are not stocked in our own distribution center and may take a
few days longer to ship. The Restaurant Source is very sensitive to national pricing, we constantly check to make sure that we are price competitive
while still maintaining our ability to give exceptional customer service. If however, you come across a like item at a lower price please let us know.
We would be honored to try and match the price if not beat it.
You can take comfort knowing if you need us, we are here today, tomorrow and with
your support well into the future.
Thank you for your time and interest in the Restaurant Source online.
Warmest regards,
Michael Schatz
President & CEO
The Restaurant Source
Customer Satisfaction
The Restaurant Source chooses to carry only the best quality products for your satisfaction. Please be advised that our commercial grade products
are designed for their utility and not necessarily the cosmetic or aesthetic appeal you would expect for residential use, and therefore, these products
may not meet your expectations and may not be appropriate for use in your home.
If you feel that a product is being misrepresented on The Restaurant Source website, please contact
Carole or call 1-800-460-8402.
Many items ship directly from our Colorado warehouse within 1-2 business days. There are rare cases in which an item may ship directly from a
manufacturer from inside the same state in which you reside. When this does happen, you will be responsible for the payment of such additional
sales tax, according to your local tax rate, and such additional sales tax will be collected by us and charged to your account and/or credit card
along with your payment for the products. Again, this is very rare, and you will be notified of any additional sales taxes before we ship your order.
We thank you for doing business with our company and look forward to serving you and your equipment needs.

we cannot guarantee the delivery date of any order. All orders placed on this site are subject to product availability and will be shipped
according to our shipping policies.
Shipping Destinations
The Restaurant Source currently ships nationwide (USA) to any street address. Orders cannot be delivered to PO Boxes. Some rural and/or military
sites may not be accessible to our shippers. In these cases, we will attempt to notify you and help arrange for you to pick up the order at the
shipper's main terminal.
Each order may only have one "ship to" address. If you require multiple "ship to" addresses, please order separately for each address.
Shipping Locations
In some cases, Product will be shipped directly to a customer from the manufacturer. Freight costs, if any, will be calculated using this manufacturer
as the point of origin.
Shipping Methods and Charges
Most orders are shipped via UPS or FedEx. The shipping charges are automatically calculated online based on both the weight and dimensions of the carton in
which your order will be shipped.
Some oversized or heavy items requiring special handling may be placed on a wooden pallet and shipped via common carrier (truck freight). Common carrier
shipments are delivered to the back of the truck, that is, at the end of the driveway or along the street curb. It is your responsibility to off-load the equipment
from the truck. Commercial addresses with loading docks will have the delivery made at the dock. Common carrier shipments require a signature at the time of
delivery and some carriers will not deliver to residences.
IMPORTANT: You will need to be sure that you have sufficient and proper equipment and personnel to unload products delivered via common carrier,
as their drivers are not required to provide assistance in unloading your order. If you require methods and/or services not specified above, including but not
limited to inside delivery, lift gate delivery, flat-bed truck delivery, upstairs/high-rise delivery, delivery notification, residential delivery, or date
specific delivery, you must contact us for a price quote on the desired additional service(s), as the additional charges vary by manufacturer. The charges for
these additional services will be in addition to any shipping charges. Please visit the Shipping page of our Help area for more information about shipping
rates and options.
Your credit card will not be billed for the additional service(s) without your approval. If we determine additional charges are necessary (for example,
residential delivery) that you have not approved, your order will not ship and we will attempt to contact you using the email address and phone number you
provided with the order. Your order will be cancelled if we are unable to contact you.
Shipping Damage
Orders Damaged in Shipping
While every effort is made in packing and correctly filling your order, occasions will arise where a package is lost or damaged in transit. To insure your
order is received complete and undamaged, the following order check-in procedure must be followed:
1. Inspect the entire shipment for visible damage prior to accepting the shipment, and note any damage on the delivery ticket/bill of lading before the delivery
person leaves, or note such damage on the bill of lading if the delivery person does not wait. For packages left at your doorstep, immediately inspect the exterior of
the carton(s) and note any large dents or tears on your packing slip (invoice).
2. Verify the number of packages delivered with the packing slip provided by The Restaurant Source.
3. Unpack your order immediately and inspect for hidden or concealed damage, even if you don¿t plan on using the item right away.
4. Should any damage be discovered, retain the shipping carton and any inner packaging, request inspection immediately from the carrier as well as make a written
request to the carrier. Hidden or concealed damage must be reported and an inspection requested within 24 hours of delivery. Acceptance of damaged freight requires
the receiver to file the freight claim. Once delivered, the carriers will not allow The Restaurant Source to file any claim since we no longer own the property.
Then contact The Restaurant Source Customer Service toll free at 1-800-460-8402 to inform us of the situation. Please have your order number, shipping
information and tracking number ready to assist us in this process.
The Restaurant Source will arrange for return shipping to our distribution center for an item that was sent to you in error, received defective, or damaged
in shipping (assuming the criteria for the order check-in procedure outlined above has been reasonably met).
ONCE YOU HAVE INSPECTED AND ACCEPTED THE SHIPMENT, THE SALE SHALL BE FINAL AND THE RESTAURANT SOURCE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGED
OR MISSING ITEMS YOU SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVER. PLEASE NOTE, YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE SHIPMENT IS AN EXPRESS ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT THE SHIPMENT WAS COMPLETE AND UNHARMED AT
THE TIME OF DELIVERY AND THAT YOU HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE ORDER CHECK-IN PROCEDURE OUTLINED ABOVE.
Special Orders

Upon receiving your order for a special order product, we will process and send the order to the factory for manufacturing (if required) and shipping.

every effort to ensure you receive your order by the soonest possible date, The Restaurant Source cannot guarantee the timely delivery of any item.
