Trade Shows

We recently attended the following trade shows:

Hotel Motel & Restaurant Supply Show of The Southeast in Myrtle Beach, SC on January 24, 25 & 26. This was a successful show allowing us to make some new business contacts as well as spend some time with our existing customers. It was great to see those of you who were there as well.

Mid-Atlantic Hospitality Technology Forum - Wilmington, DE. This allowed us an opportunity to touch base with some of our existing lessees and to solidify our relationships. It was great to receive positive feedback from the actual restaurant owners.

Singing Our Praises

Rick Malthaner from Creative Technical Solutions, Inc. (Philadelphia, PA) sent us these kind words: "You guys are so easy to work with, from the initial app to the final payment."

Glenn Paciaroni from B&C Hospitality (N. Charleston, SC) had this to say about Vend Lease. "At B&C Hospitality, we have worked with over a dozen leasing companies over the last 7 years. Vend Lease by far is the best ever! Before, we used to have to constantly call the lease people to see where the deal was at or to ask for the check. With Vend Lease and especially Rob Wasson and Debbie Sigai, one call is all it takes. They follow up with us immediately and get the customer motivated to finish the deal. Within days we have a pre-fund check and they follow up as soon as the install is complete to get us the final payment. They have great rates and our customers enjoy working with them. Vend Lease is our first and primary leasing source! If they can't do the deal, then you probably don't want the customer in the long run."
