Hello Restaurant folks! EBay is one of the largest online resources for restaurant supplies and equipment, so I thought it’d be fun to spark some community discussion for all the restaurant owners, operators, and equipment sellers. Some ideas for topics could include starting a restaurant, operational strategies, marketing concepts, menu and recipe ideas, buying and selling equipment on eBay, etc, etc… I’ll start the discussion with some fun facts about eBay’s Restaurant category – did you know… 1) EBay’s restaurant marketplace is running at about $40 million of equipment sold annually and is growing at close to 100% per year. 2) There are over 60 categories of restaurant items to choose from. 3) Over 4,500 pieces of restaurant equipment sell every week. 4) Over 27 pieces of restaurant equipment sell every hour of every day. 5) On a typical day, over 250 pieces of Hobart equipment can be found on the site. 6) About 21 vending machines sell each day. 7) A Bar & Beverage related item sells every 3 minutes. Looking forward to chatting… Cheers -John eBay Restaurant Category Manager
