Today we’d like to introduce you to Steven Eisenstein.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I grew up working in restaurants from a young age. In 1991, I started my education at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island. I earned an associates and Bachelor’s degree in Hotel-Restaurant Management.
My experiences after college including working at Convention Centers, Hotels such as Wyndham, Westin and Omni Hotels in Catering as well as working for Wolfgang Puck at the Georgia Aquarium.
In 2010, I purchased Classic Tents & Events from a woman that was 65 and ready to retire. We moved the business to Norcross in 2013 and expanded into more markets. In September of 2016, Bernie Eisenstein (my dad) and I added Coastal Wholesale into our world. We changed the name to Coastal Restaurant Equipment Rentals and have slowly added to the inventory of the items we carry.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Being in the rental market prior to adding Coastal gave us a great understanding of how it works Moving a business from Collier road to Best Friend road was a challenge but it has all worked out fine. Our guys that originally worked for the previous owners have transitioned well and are enjoying the new home inside of the Classic Tents & Events warehouse.
Coastal Restaurant Equipment Rentals – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
We rent all sorts of restaurant gear from Convection ovens, fryers, hot boxes, grills, griddles, refrigerators, freezers, speed racks, sandwich units, stainless steel prep tables, sinks, mixers, slicers, bars, concessions equipment, pizza ovens and stoves.
Our delivery team can connect all the items once we unload the items and make sure the customer has a good understanding of how everything works.
We serve many restaurants, caterers, churches, venues, festivals, hospitals, retirement homes, research companies and movie productions and other rental companies.
Our large inventory and our ability to add additional items when needed help us to make us unique in our industry. WE are very good at solving people’s challenges!
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
When we have customers that are happy and brag about the great customer experience they had we are successful!
