Merrychef promises operational peace of mind for hospitality professionals through new manufacturer-backed leasing solution
Merrychef has launched a new manufacturer-backed leasing solution for its conneX® portfolio of high-speed ovens, becoming one of the first manufacturers to offer a fully inclusive leasing model that combines equipment, preventative maintenance, service and connectivity within a single agreement.
The leasing solution is designed to eliminate service surprises and maintenance downtime, offering unlimited service callouts, extended warranty, and an optional accidental cover for user error or misuse, ensuring operational confidence. With costs spread over fixed monthly payments throughout the period of the lease, hospitality professionals can rest assured of their equipment’s performance - without deposits or capital investment required.
Service and maintenance support is delivered by Merrychef’s dedicated network of engineers, unlocking specialist expertise aligned specifically to Merrychef equipment. Operators benefit from a priority response within 24 hours of logging a service request, supported by a 95% first-time fix rate.
The leasing model is available across Merrychef’s conneX® range of high-speed ovens which are designed to deliver consistent, high‑quality food at speed, even in compact or high‑pressure kitchen environments. Using a combination of microwave, convection and impingement technologies, conneX® ovens significantly reduces cooking times by up to 80% while maintaining food quality and consistency.
A complimentary subscription to Welbilt KitchenConnect® is included for the full duration of the lease allowing operators to remotely monitor oven performance from any device, review usage or production data, or simultaneously push menu updates across multiple sites.
Colin Lacey, Managing Director of Merrychef, said: “This lease allows customers to know what their operational costs will be without worrying about any unexpected surprises for service or maintenance. Operators tell us they value confidence and control as much as performance and their priorities should be their customers and their business. Our manufacturer‑backed leasing solution brings everything together - equipment, preventative maintenance and connectivity - into one clear monthly payment.
“It’s a simple, future‑focused way to give operators the peace of mind that they are working with the very best - allowing kitchens to run smoothly, ensure brand consistency across sites and free up teams to focus on great food and service.”
Leasing is provided by Latitude Leasing Limited, an FCA-authorised and regulated provider, while all service and maintenance is delivered directly by Merrychef.
The launch reflects Merrychef’s continued focus on delivering end-to-end operational solutions that reduce risk, improve efficiency and support long-term growth.
