Say hello to Eaton Essentials, Your Florida Commercial Smallwares Partner. Eaton Marketing, a leader in foodservice equipment solutions since 1995, proudly introduces Eaton Essentials - a Florida-based smallwares division dedicated to meeting the evolving needs of foodservice professionals. Bridging the gap between back-of-the-house and front-of-the-house, Eaton Essentials provides solutions that enhance operations for all sizes of hotels, restaurants, cafes, country clubs, and foodservice businesses.

The backbone of any successful foodservice operation lies in the smallwares and front-of-house essentials that keep everything running smoothly. These often-overlooked items are critical in creating seamless operations and memorable customer experiences, from durable glassware to high-quality disposables.

And with new product lines added regularly, the possibilities are constantly growing.
