Might need to go to another warehouse for more options. It's a small warehouse. If you're only going to get a few items here, then this place is enough for you to get by. If you need more supplies than what they have now, I suggest going to Costco Business Center or Jetro Cash and Carry.

This is the best restaurant supply store in the bay area for home cooks for both selection and…read moreprice. 1) the home style cuisinart food processors have small motors. They aren't designed for making baby food, almond butter from almonds or grinding frozen meat into paste for making cha lua or hotdogs. Can smell the burning electric motor smell from home appliances. This smell is toxic and emits cancer causing chemicals. The commercial appliances here don't have that problem. Costs more but you have equipment which fits the task. 2) The home pizza ovens which are popular require peels to get the pizze in and out of the 800 degree oven. They sell both metal and wood versions. The pizza stones for home ovens are much cheaper here than Amazon because it costs more to ship heavy items and AMZN adjusts the price to reflect that even though shipping is "free". Prices better than online and you can see the quality of the product. They have both 16 and 12 inch sizes for peels, etc.. The newer lower cost electric/gas home pizza ovens are 12. They have bread baking pans and detroit pizza pans in stock! No need to go online to get them. The long handles for pizza peels make them unattractive for shipping. If they are shipped then price is 2x of what you see here. 3) Cutting boards, they have the fancy John Boos wood cutting board considered by many to be the best made to cheaper and lighter bamboo boards and poly ones. All come in larger sizes. Not the smaller sizes sold in costco. Much better variety here. Same comment as above for pizza stones. Cheaper than online because heavy items are expensive to ship. Will never get a sub $50 price for a large cutting board online but you can here. 4) Kitchen utensils, heat proof spatulas, long handled stainless steel soup spoons, slotted spoons; stainless steel serving tongs, thermometers, everthing 1/3 - 1/4 the cost of williams sonoma with more useful design like longer handles for deep stock pots. WS doesn't sell long handled spoons. spatulas, because most home cooks have cheaper small pots and skillets. 5) steamers, they have larger sized bamboo and stainless steel steamers for making dimsum. The Asian markets have a limited selection of steamers and WS or costco will never sell steamers. Designed for Asian cuisine. Steaming much healthier then other forms of cooking. 6) Glassware, they have the larger Picardie, 16oz+ in stock! They don't break. Most RS stores only sell cheaper imitations but they are the same price and the Picardie glasses here and lousy quality. 7) Plastic serverware; they sell larger dimension plastic serving platters; good for parties or home use. The larger ones made of porcelain are too heavy and difficult to store. They only go up to a certain size because of cost. Recently most serverware is more than 100-300 each because of inflation. They see reduced sales because of the increased prices and most places are transitioning to not carrying these higher cost items.

The customer service was outstanding from the moment I walked in. Philip greeted me right away and took the time to show me several plate options I was considering, making the process easy and efficient. Gabby went above and beyond to help me secure the best price and thoroughly explained additional paper bag options that were also excellent. I appreciated the transparency -- including the 3% discount for paying with cash. The staff is significantly friendlier than larger warehouse-style stores like Restaurant Depot, and best of all -- no line! I'll definitely be back.

When we caught the problem, she was VERY slow to refund us, probably because she couldn't figure out how to undo the fake, overpriced item. We don't know whether she's incompetent or doesn't expect people to check their receipts, but NEVER SHOP HERE!

I called them immediately, and they initially said there would be a $250 restocking fee if I returned it. I agreed because I was too terrified to use it. They said they will talk to the manufacturer it's take a week they called back and refused the return, claiming I had already opened and used it. My question is: how was I supposed to know it was defective and dangerous without turning it on? They offered to repair it, but I no longer trust this unit. I don't know when it might flare up again. It's extremely dangerous. Do not buy from this place!"

I was ready to order three booths for a restaurant I'm opening and over the course of three weeks I really wanted to give them my money but I could not even get a simple quote emailed to me.

Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2014…read more I stopped by Goodware Restaurant Supply today with my family. I've seen it many times as we headed to the Costco Gas Station. We found parking easily and entered through the side door. You do not need to be a business/restaurant owner to shop here. It's open to the public. Upon entering the large warehouse you will note the cash register counter on the left hand side of the shop and the right hand side filled with everything under the sun that a restauranteur would need to open up an eatery. We were greeted with friendly smiles by the husband and wife team that own Goodware Restaurant Supply (they were helping ring someone up that was obviously a regular customer). After their regular customer left, they asked us if we needed any help. I told the wife that I was looking for 32 ounce and 16 ounce containers with lids that were BPA, freezer safe, microwave safe and could hold hot soups. Both husband and wife smiled and told me that they have that in stock and that I would have to purchase each by the case. Before I came to Goodware Restaurant Supply, I had already done my pricing of the items I wanted online. I asked how much it was per case and realized it was more than a fair price and decided on those two items. I asked if they had large plastic bins and other items and they were very helpful showing me where the items were which made my shopping trip fast. All of the items in the warehouse were clearly marked with prices that were clear and easy to read. Everything was extremely organized. I was very pleased with the fact that I received excellent customer service, the products I purchased were a good value and they accept debit/credit cards. I don't own a business but I came here primarily for the to go recyclable soup containers. Now, when I make soups or stews and want to share with family and friends I don't have to worry about having enough plastic food containers because I bought two large cases. They also have a great selection of recyclable and biodegradable to-go food containers which I will definitely buy on my next trip (I already have some at home). To-go containers are great for left-overs at parties for my guests. I look forward to shopping here again!

Not with Prime. He claims that his is commercial and that Amz one was not. It's the same brand. When it came to the burner stand, he wasn't sure if his came with a hose. He said he can open it but he won't open it unless I'm buying it. Why would I buy it if it doesn't have a hose? As I was outside texting my wife, he turned on his blower to blow the dust and leaves off the concrete while I was standing there. That was a bit rude. I just thought I would let you know. I'm trying to support this business but that behavior was wild. Go to Dong Vinh instead. Night and day difference with customer service. I was able to get the 60qt with a proper fitting insert and lid. I went to Cash and Carry for a commercial burner.
