The kitchen and laundry must be ready before the first guest.
Opening a new venue, a busy lunch service or renewing a hotel laundry starts with how the work is organised. Choose equipment by what your team does with it every day. With a Maxa operating lease you pay for using the equipment with a monthly payment and do not have to pay the full purchase price at once.
When is an equipment decision worth thinking through?
You are opening a new restaurant or café
The kitchen, coffee machine and refrigeration equipment must fit the space and suit the menu. Plan delivery, connections and team training before the day the first guests walk through the door.
The peak hour shows the kitchen's bottleneck
The need for ovens, dishwashing and cold storage becomes clearest during busy service. See where the work backs up and compare equipment for that situation.
You are renewing a hotel laundry
Put side by side the room cleaning schedule, the amount of laundry and the load on existing machines. Compare your own laundry equipment with an outsourced service and also account for space and staff time.
Three moments to choose equipment by
How does an operating lease work?
After approval and the contract, we buy the equipment from the seller and give it to your company to use for the agreed time. During the contract we own the equipment. At the end of the term you can return the equipment or buy it out under the contract. We put the numbers side by side so you can compare for yourself. Sometimes the comparison shows that buying suits your company better.

Examples of equipment in this sector that companies most often lease. You choose the equipment. Based on the seller's quote, we check on what terms we can lease the equipment to you.
What must the equipment do in the busiest hour?
Start from your menu, your service and how your team divides the work. An average day alone does not show how the equipment copes with peak-hour work.
Is the space ready for the equipment?
Check dimensions, electricity, water and ventilation with the seller. Ask separately for the terms of installation, maintenance and user training.
How does the monthly payment fit the full-year budget?
Also account for turnover in quieter months and other fixed costs. Operating lease monthly payments are equal over the agreed term, so look at the quote across the whole year.
Answers to your questions
How big is the down payment?
0 € down payment. The first monthly payment is due the following month, so the purchase price of the equipment stays available for the costs of opening and the first months of operation.
Is maintenance included in the operating lease quote?
Ask the seller to set out the scope and price of maintenance separately. Look at them together with the Maxa operating lease quote, so you can plan the costs of using the equipment.
Can I send a quote for a whole kitchen?
Yes. Send the list of equipment with prices. Ask the seller to show installation and other work separately in the quote, so we can clarify what the Maxa operating lease covers. Based on the specific equipment, we check whether we can finance it with an operating lease. Täisteenusliisingu AS buys the chosen equipment from the seller and owns it during the operating lease.
