Buying for a shop means buying across categories

This was a mixed purchasing list, with products for different kitchen tasks. Refrigerated worktables, stainless steel worktables, shelving, four-door and six-door refrigeration cabinets, and cooking equipment were included in the same order.

For a distributor preparing a similar order, the starting point is an item-by-item list. Each product needs its own quantity and specification, even when the goods will be shipped together.

Equipment included in this order

  • Refrigerated worktables: chilled storage beneath a working surface.
  • Stainless steel worktables: a separate category from the refrigerated worktables.
  • Shelving: storage equipment included in the mixed list.
