Payment Solutions for Food & Beverage

Restaurants and food-service operators face seasonality and demand variability. Elevex structures payments around how hospitality revenue actually arrives.

The Reality

Equipment needs vary from kitchen tools to furnishings. Cash flow fluctuates with seasons and tourism. We structure payments around covers served, not calendar months.

Seasonal Cash Flow Alignment

Lower payments in slow months, higher in peak season — matched to how hospitality revenue actually arrives.

From ovens and refrigeration to furnishings and POS — one structure across diverse equipment needs.

Common Questions

Is used restaurant equipment financeable?
It is — used and refurbished kitchen equipment from dealers or restaurant auctions qualifies, and it's often the smart play for ovens, mixers, and refrigeration where the price gap versus new is widest.
How does food truck financing work?
We finance the truck, the kitchen buildout, or both — typically $50K–$250K, terms to 84 months, with payments that can flex around your season. Apply online with your build quote for a decision in minutes.
Do kitchen equipment purchases qualify for Section 179?
Most restaurant equipment placed in service this year qualifies for Section 179 expensing even when financed — meaning the deduction can outrun your first-year payments. Model it with our Section 179 calculator and confirm with your CPA.

Food Processing Equipment Financing

Finance processing, thermal, and inspection equipment bought to meet a retail or co-packing contract, with terms sized to the volume commitment behind it.

Bakery Equipment Financing

Finance deck and rack ovens, mixers, proofers, and retail fit-out — with the schedule split by how long each part of a bakery actually lasts.

Packaging Line Financing

Cold Storage Financing

Finance warehouse-scale refrigeration, freezer racking, and automation against contracted pallet positions — fixed plant, underwritten on throughput.
