BUY IT NOW - WRITE IT OFF NOW

Immediate Expensing for Restaurant Equipment in the US

The Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010, signed by President Obama September 27, gives restaurants an additional incentive to purchase equipment within the next 14 months. Restaurants can now write off investments in new capital expenditures immediately, up to a limit of $500,000 rather than having to depreciate the expense slowly over a number of years, as long as the purchase is completed during the 2010 or 2011 tax year.

In a news blog sent to all members in September, and posted on its Web site, the National Restaurant Association (NRA) heralded this opportunity. "Now that President Obama has signed the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act into law, it’s a good time to look at your capital improvement plan," NRA told its members. NAFEM members are encouraged to be sure your customers understand this short-term opportunity to expense new equipment in the year it is purchased.

Plus, the CNVX-14 is built with the same footprint as the BCX/BX combi, providing the perfect companion convection oven to stack with your Blodgett combi.  Click here for information on the Blodgett CNVX-14 convection oven.

Blodgett is now offering a FREE Second Year Warranty on all combi ovens with proof of purchase of a water filter system*. Water is both a blessing and a detriment for combi ovens. Introducing water into the cooking cavity allows for greater product quality and increased yields. Yet water can be very tough on oven components. Installing a water filter for use with your combi oven is a great way to minimize the harmful effects of water. Have your water tested to determine the correct water filter for your location. *This offer applies to new combi ovens only. The water filter must be installed prior to the startup procedure on your new combi. Click here for more information on treating your water and the NEW Blodgett Combi FREE 2nd Year Warranty.
