Chef’s Deal Expands Catering Equipment Support for the Holiday Season

Nashville, Tennessee – November 09, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Chef’s Deal Restaurant Equipment Store is expanding its catering equipment support ahead of the November through December holiday season, when caterers, hotels, banquet facilities, corporate dining operators and restaurants adding off-premise service manage a concentrated volume of office parties, family gatherings and seasonal events. The Nashville-based company is directing its planning resources toward operators preparing for the peak weeks of holiday catering, which typically build in the lead-up to Thanksgiving and continue through December.

Catering for the holidays presents a different equipment challenge than in-house service. Food must be held at safe temperatures, transported off-site, served at volume and set up quickly in venues that often lack a full kitchen. These demands place particular pressure on event and seasonal operators, as well as established restaurants that take on extra catering orders on top of their regular service during the busiest stretch of the year.

To address those needs, Chef’s Deal has organized its catering supplies around three functional areas: holding and transport, buffet and beverage service, and off-site cooking. The holding and transport category includes holding and proofing cabinets, thermal insulated carriers, banquet carts and portable refrigerator freezers. Buffet and beverage service covers countertop warmers, buffet line equipment, carving stations, coffee urns, airpot brewing systems, hot water dispensers, refrigerated beverage dispensers and mobile bar units. For off-site cooking, the lineup includes induction cooktops, hotplates and outdoor griddles, along with portable handwashing units for venues without plumbing.

Matthew Yaz, Chief Executive Officer of Chef’s Deal Restaurant Equipment, said the seasonal push reflects the operational reality caterers face once service moves away from the kitchen. “The hardest part of holiday catering is not cooking the food, it is keeping it at safe temperatures from the kitchen to the venue and holding it there through a long service window,” Yaz said. “Operators who sort out their holding and transport equipment in early November are far better positioned to handle December volume than those scrambling during the rush.”

Yaz added that preparation timing shapes much of the season. “Catering in a venue without a full kitchen means the equipment has to arrive before the event, not during it,” he said. “Planning ahead for setup, service stations and beverage lines removes a great deal of pressure from the busiest weeks.”

Chef’s Deal offers free consultation to help operators plan equipment needs by event size and venue type, along with access to products from more than 400 manufacturers. The company provides local fleet delivery across Tennessee and nearby regions and reliable shipping throughout the continental United States.
