Restaurant equipment auction software built for fast turnover.
Hospitality assets move on short notice — closures, renovations, and surplus that needs to clear before the next rent check. Unovance Global gives you a branded platform to catalog, sell, and schedule pickup, all on a brand and buyer base you own.
Foodservice liquidation is a speed game. A restaurant closes, the lease clock is running, and a full kitchen — hoods, walk-ins, ranges, dishwashers, prep tables, and crates of smallwares — has to be cataloged, sold, and removed before the keys go back. Unovance is built for exactly that tempo, with bulk lotting and photo-to-lot tools that put a whole facility online in a single day.
The buyers are local and practical: independent restaurateurs, equipment dealers, and resellers who plan to load a truck themselves. That makes removal logistics as important as the bidding. Scheduled pickup windows, gated appointments, and per-lot location notes keep teardown day orderly instead of chaotic.
Most of all, you own the relationship. Every dealer and operator registers under your brand, and their contact and bidding history stay with you — so the next closure, the next renovation, and the next surplus auction reach a buyer base you built, not one you rent from a marketplace.
Everything a foodservice asset sale demands.
Fast lotting for closures
Catalog a full kitchen in hours, not weeks — bulk import, photo-to-lot tools, and templates for hoods, walk-ins, ranges, and smallwares so a closing restaurant goes live before the lease runs out.
Local pickup, scheduled
Hospitality buyers pick up on site, so we give you removal windows, gated pickup appointments, and per-lot location notes that keep dock traffic orderly during teardown.
Buyer-friendly bulk lots
Combine matched sets — a line of fryers, a stack of sheet pans, a full prep station — into single lots or sell piece by piece, whichever clears the floor faster.
You own the buyer base
Restaurateurs, dealers, and resellers register on your brand, not a rented marketplace. Their contact data and bidding history stay yours for the next closure or refresh cycle.
Frequently asked questions
Which auction formats work best for restaurant equipment?+
Timed online auctions fit most closures and fixture sales because buyers bid on their own schedule before a staggered close. For full-facility liquidations with a live crowd, webcast and simulcast formats let an auctioneer move quickly through smallwares while remote bidders compete. All 22 Unovance formats run from one branded platform.
How do you handle on-site pickup and removal?+
Foodservice gear is heavy and local, so removal is the hard part. Unovance supports scheduled pickup windows, per-lot location and access notes, and gated appointment booking after invoicing — so buyers arrive prepared and your removal days stay manageable.
Can I run frequent sales as restaurants close throughout the year?+
Yes. Closures and renovations happen on no fixed calendar, so you can spin up a new branded sale event whenever inventory lands, reuse cataloging templates, and notify your existing buyer list instantly rather than waiting on a marketplace cycle.
Why own the platform instead of listing on a marketplace?+
On a marketplace you rent the audience and surrender the buyer relationship. With Unovance you own your brand, your bidder data, and the relationship with every dealer and restaurateur — so repeat consignors and repeat buyers compound into a real book of business.
