We’re a team of foodservice industry specialists who believe in doing commercial kitchen equipment financing differently.
We built FS Foodservice Solutions because we saw a better way. After years working in the foodservice equipment world, first at a dealer buying group, then inside a finance company, we realized what was missing: a commercial kitchen equipment financing partner that truly understands the foodservice industry from the inside out.
Our story began in 2019 when we first teamed up to develop value-added programs for foodservice equipment dealers. One of those programs was a financing solution that quickly proved its worth. Dealers who embraced it saw more sales and happier customers. That success sparked a deeper dive into financing, and after Sandra joined the finance company we’d partnered with, we reunited shortly after to grow their foodservice division.
Over the years, we built a strong reputation for creating financing programs that actually work for foodservice, because that’s the only industry we serve. We’ve worked side by side with dealers, operators, manufacturers, and reps, always leading with education, transparency, and a true partnership mentality.
Now, we’re betting on ourselves and building the company we always wished existed: one built by industry professionals, for industry professionals.
At FS Foodservice Solutions, hospitality drives how we go to market. We believe in top-tier service, clear communication, and helping our partners and customers make confident purchasing decisions. Whether we’re training dealer teams, customizing co-branded materials, or walking an operator through the approval process, our goal is always the same, supporting the foodservice industry with solutions that fuel growth.
Our Mission: To provide transparent, efficient, and customized financing solutions that support the growth of the foodservice industry. Here at FS, we make Financing Simplified.
Our Approach: We collaborate closely with our partners, offering comprehensive training, marketing support, and seamless integration to ensure success.
Why Choose Us: With a deep understanding of the foodservice industry, we offer flexible equipment financing options, dedicated support, and a commitment to integrity.
We’re proud to bring a consultative approach to every conversation, and we’re just getting started.
