Why now

Every restaurant deserves a McDonald's-level purchasing team.

The biggest chains have whole departments that know what to spec, what it should cost and who to buy it from. Everyone else has been on their own in a market built to keep them guessing. Backhouse gives every operator that team, whether you have 3 locations or 30.

On your own

An opaque market

Rebates decide what gets recommended. Fees surface on the invoice.

With Backhouse

Transparent by default

Competing bids side by side. Nothing hidden.

On your own

Buying the wrong thing

You find out the fryer won't fit on install day.

With Backhouse

Specced right the first time

Our spec agent catches it before you order.

On your own

Not finding the right suppliers

Fingers are pointed at everyone while nobody takes accountability.

With Backhouse

A vetted network on call

Local, vetted suppliers and one team that owns the order.

On your own

Warranties nobody tracks

What operators say

Buyers notice the difference.

The Backhouse team has helped streamline our equipment replacement process... I believe the platform has significant potential to remove many of the traditional friction points, making procurement easier from start to finish.

Backhouse played an essential role in getting Lazy Sister open! Using their equipment sourcing technology seemed like a no brainer and it definitely was.

Who we are

Built by insiders from every side of this business.

Our family has been in the restaurant industry since the 1950s. Backhouse was founded out of frustration with equipment purchasing plagued by wrong orders and poor service. Buying equipment and supplies has always meant emailed quotes, long waits, and guesswork. Backhouse makes it simple: our AI helps you find the right products and flags every consideration, and we fulfill every order without the legacy overhead of traditional distributors.

Our mission is to create the best buying experience in foodservice through the most customer-obsessed platform.
