Pricing

Ask, and you get the whole number.

These machines are priced in euros. Your quote is not.

A number posted today would be wrong by the time your crate is on a ship, and you would be the one to discover it. So you get a quote that holds instead of a price that does not.

Included

The machine is the smallest part of what you are buying.

Anyone can put an oven on a truck. What decides whether you are still happy with it in year eight is everything wrapped around it.

Before — a marked-up floor planA bakery floor plan marked up by hand 01 Before

Your room, drawn

Send a floor plan and a menu. You get a layout back — workflow, power, ventilation, and the corner your crew would otherwise fight over for a decade.

During — the crew mid-installTMB installers placing a deck oven 02 During

Our crew, not a subcontractor

Carlos has run installs here for seventeen years, in English or Spanish, and has already met a building like yours.

After — the parts shelfShelves of spare parts in South San Francisco 03 After

Cell numbers, not a queue

Parts sit on a shelf in South San Francisco for years, waiting for the morning you need one.

Proof

Walk into one before you believe any of it.

Everything above this line is a promise. These are rooms you can visit, on equipment you can watch run, with bakers who will tell you the truth about it when nobody from here is standing next to you.

Questions

Worth asking before you buy.

If yours is not here, you can have the answer from a person in about the time it takes to write it down.

  • Buying

    Can you buy a machine straight from the site?

    Smallwares, yes — bannetons, lames, peels, pans and scales are priced and in the cart. Equipment goes through a quote, because the number depends on your voltage, your doorway, your freight and the euro on the day.

  • Certification

    Will it pass inspection?

    The crew carries the certifications your health inspector and your insurer will ask for, and the paperwork is part of the install rather than something you chase afterwards.

  • Parts

    What happens when the shelf does not have the part?

    It comes by DHL. The shelf in South San Francisco covers the machines we sell, and when it runs out the part is on a plane rather than in a queue.

  • Coverage

    Does any of this reach you outside the Bay Area?

    Yes. Installs run well beyond California, and there is a representative covering the Eastern side of the country.
