The quality is good

The quality is good, but the knife is not cutting chicken perfectly. That’s the only concern. If I try to cut the goat or lamb into pieces, I think the knife will chip, break, or crack.

This is the last time I order from this…

This is the last time I order from this company! Freezer was ordered October 10 2026. Delivered to the depot on Oct 19. Scheduled 6 times for delivery. Finally got it today. November 4 2026. It doesn’t work. Power switch comes on but nothing else! No fans no thermostat no interior lights. I immediately called and was told the manufacturer will email in 24 hrs. Seriously should have learned after my pizza oven fiasco(took 8 weeks to get and then the wrong one. Couldn’t return it without the original packaging that the driver took. 5k paperweight. Looks like I’m sitting on a 2k dead freezer. Your company certainly does not help small businesses stay in business!

After repeated delivery appointments, finding that your freezer doesn't work is understandably frustrating. We're sorry for the disruption to your business and the concerns about your previous purchase. Under our policies, we must first work through the manufacturer's warranty process, with available options depending on their assessment and authorization. A warranty claim has been opened for your freezer, and our Customer Success Team has contacted you and is following up as the claim progresses.

Not perfect, but pretty good.

I was able to find and order the item I wanted and had hoped you would have, at a reasonable price.

The only issue that could be improved with this order was the type of delivery they provide. For a residential situation, the company uses OD (Old Dominion) and it does not deliver to the door or inside your residence. I was only told that OD could not bring my item into the residence. Since I have a 600 ft driveway, I had to make special arrangements for this delivery that took quite a bit of my time to arrange. And it additionally cost me $200 to have it carried into my house and install. It's only a small undercounter beverage unit that I could have installed myself if a different freight company could have delivered it inside my front door. I guess I'll know better next time to ask more questions on what "free freight" means!

We're happy you found the item you wanted at a reasonable price, and we're sorry the delivery required extra time and expense to arrange. We use third-party freight carriers, and free freight covers shipping rather than carrying equipment inside or installation. We understand that this distinction could have been clearer before delivery. Thank you for sharing your experience and helping us understand where communication could improve.

I had a very disappointing experience with KaTom Restaurant Supply.

After placing my order, I was charged once, but an additional authorization hold of over $8,300 remained on my bank account. It took 12 days for my money to become available again.

During this time, I contacted customer service multiple times trying to resolve the issue. Instead of providing helpful assistance, I experienced extremely rude and unprofessional customer service.

One female customer service representative was particularly disrespectful. When I told her I wanted to file a complaint about the situation, she responded, “Go ahead and complain if you want.”

I was shocked by her attitude. As a customer spending over $8,000 on restaurant equipment, I expected professionalism, respect, and a willingness to resolve problems.

Having such a large amount of money tied up for 12 days was frustrating enough, but being treated this way made the experience even worse.

I am extremely disappointed with KaTom’s customer service and how this situation was handled. I hope management takes customer complaints seriously and improves the way its representatives treat customers.

We understand how concerning it was to have such a large amount unavailable for 12 days, and we're sorry your attempts to get help left you feeling dismissed. You deserve respectful communication and clear answers. Refunds typically take 3–5 business days to process, with additional time possible depending on the financial institution. Since you've described an authorization hold, our Customer Success Team will review the payment timeline and your service concerns, then reach out directly to clarify what happened.

Item was more expensive but I still ordered it because I was supposed to get it within a week. A month later I’m still waiting for delivery but it’s too late to cancel. Poor service
