Demand

Is the demand real?

Restaurants close at a high rate and a closing kitchen has tens of thousands of dollars of equipment that gets liquidated for pennies, while a new operator desperately wants that same gear at a discount. The mismatch is real and the dollar amounts are meaningful. But this need is episodic, the supply is unpredictable, and the logistics (heavy equipment, freight, inspection) are brutal, which is why every prior attempt has struggled to build steady liquidity.

Market trend

Growing or fading?

▬ Flat

Restaurant churn is constant so raw supply exists, but the category has seen multiple failed marketplaces because the unit economics of moving heavy equipment are punishing. Auction houses and Facebook Marketplace already absorb most of the volume. No clear momentum either way.
