Merrychef launches manufacturer-based leasing solution

Merrychef has launched a new manufacturer-based leasing solution for its high-speed ovens.

The move makes Merrychef one of the first manufacturers to offer a fully inclusive leasing model that combines unlimited service callouts, extended warranty and optional accidental cover for user error or misuse.

Costs are spread over fixed monthly payments throughout the period of the lease, while service and maintenance support is delivered by Merrychef’s network of specialist engineers.

The leasing model is available across Merrychef’s conneX range of high-speed ovens, which are known for reducing cooking times by up to 80% while maintaining premium food quality.

A complimentary subscription to Welbilt KitchenConnect is also included for the full duration of the lease, giving operators remote access when monitoring oven performance.

Colin Lacey, managing director of Merrychef, said: “This lease allows customers to know what their operational costs will be without worrying about any unexpected surprises for service or maintenance. Operators tell us they value confidence and control as much as performance and their priorities should be their customers and their business.”  

“It’s a simple, future‑focused way to give operators the peace of mind that they are working with the very best - allowing kitchens to run smoothly, ensure brand consistency across sites and free up teams to focus on great food and service.”   

Leasing is provided by Latitude Leasing Limited, an FCA-authorised provider, while all service and maintenance is delivered by Merrychef. 

Merrychef has been designing and manufacturing high speed ovens for nearly 70 years.
