Go from buried FF&E costs
to documented savings.
Restaurant FF&E runs on a logistics model most brands inherited rather than chose. Costs buried inside product prices, equipment moving without tracking, no single owner when it lands late or damaged. Armada changes that. Designed for new openings, with full cost transparency and a single partner responsible from first order to opening day. See what your current model is costing you with a FF&E Network Analysis.

FF&E Network Analysis
Download the solution brief
You've optimized everything about opening restaurants.
Except the supply chain that delays them.
Site selection, design, construction schedules, the menu down to the gram. You've engineered all of it. The FF&E supply chain (the transportation, warehousing and delivery of the furniture, fixtures, and equipment that outfit the restaurant) runs on a model you inherited rather than designed. It was never analyzed and never optimized for opening restaurants on a date. So, it costs more than it should, and it puts that date at risk, quietly, on every opening.
Your FF&E logistics cost sits bundled inside product prices and absorbed into project totals. You approve the total without ever seeing freight, handling, and warehousing broken out. What you can't separate, you can't benchmark or reduce. For one brand, that buried cost was $3 million a year.
The cost you can't see
Equipment moves through local warehouses selected for proximity, not for restaurant openings. No item-level tracking. No category expertise. A mispick or a damaged walk-in often surfaces when the installation crew is already on site, and the opening date is already at risk.
Late, short, or damaged
When timelines slip because FF&E is late, missing or damaged, accountability is spread across suppliers, carriers, and warehouse providers. Everyone did their part. No one owned the result. There is no single partner to call, and no one accountable for missing or damaged goods.
Nobody owns the outcome
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You've built the workarounds. Padded the timeline. Treated late and damaged deliveries as the cost of doing business. It doesn't have to be.

Built around
your business.
The Armada model is configured to your equipment, your locations, your schedule. Technology and operators with accountability built in.
01
A network built for restaurants
We design the FF&E network around your locations and your opening schedule: consolidation, sequencing, and category expertise built for restaurant equipment, not ordinary freight.
02
Costs you can finally see
Freight, handling, and warehousing broken out from product and project totals, benchmarked, and managed. You see the real number and exactly where it moves.
03
Item-level visibility
Every SKU tracked from origin to site. You know what shipped, where it is, and what's landing before the crew arrives. The surprises on installation day go away.
04
One partner accountable
From the first order to opening day, one managed model and one team that owns the result. When you need an answer, there's a person who knows your network, your suppliers, and your timeline.

PROOF
How a national restaurant brand found $3M hiding in its FF&E program
A leading full-service brand had run the same FF&E program for years. Armada analyzed the network, consolidated it, and rebuilt how equipment moved. The result: $3 million in annual freight savings, a 100% fill rate, and a 0.3% damage rate against a 5% benchmark. Same suppliers. Same equipment. A model built for the job.
