Food service equipment takeoff software

A food service takeoff follows the equipment schedule item by item. Each item number has a quantity, a maker, a model and a utility load. The errors come from the schedule, the itemized spec and the kitchen plan not carrying the same list.

Can I use Takeoff Tool for food service equipment takeoffs today?
Not yet. Food service equipment is a founding trade. We build each trade with working estimators, so the tool learns how the trade really bids. Founding contractors use it free for three months while we build it with them.
What do you need from a founding food service equipment contractor?
An hour or two of your estimator's time, screen shared, while they do a real takeoff. Plus a set of past bid packets with the finished takeoffs. We use them to check the tool against work you already trust.

The standard price is $2,500 per seat per month. It is a flat fee. There is no charge per takeoff.
