This unit is used but in good condition. Still has all the parts & everything works, but you’ll just need to have an electrician install a plug. These retail for more than $24,000 brand new. The unit has been very well taken care of and has been detailed ahead of sale as seen in photos.

That pound makes 3–4 portions.
Each portion sells for $4–$8 depending on the business.
Typical margin: 70–85%
Very few menu items come close.
2. Fast, consistent, and low‑skill to produce
Anyone can cook fries with zero training.
They cook in 3–4 minutes.

No chef required, no complicated prep.
This makes fries perfect for high‑volume operations.
