Liberty Delivers Once Again for Growing Restaurant Chain
On July 15th, Liberty Moving and Storage crew members were out in full force on Bleeker Street delivering new equipment for fast growing NYC restaurant chain Le Pain Quotidien (LPQ). The Bleeker Street location marked the 10th new LPQ restaurant that Liberty has handled in the last few years.
Le Pain Quotidien (LPQ), also known as Het Dagelijks Brood in Belgium, is an international chain of Belgian bakeries and restaurants serving soup, salads, tartines, breakfast, homemade pastries and handmade organic bread—made with organic ingredients. The company was founded by Belgian chef Alain Coumont. The name Le Pain Quotidien is French for "Daily Bread".
Liberty’s role in the very large scale effort of opening a new LPQ location is as follows:
- Receive, inspect and inventory shipments from 10-15 different equipment manufacturers
- Prep selected equipment (ie- putting wheels on under counter refrigerators)
- Coordinate delivery schedules with general contractor and LPQ project manager
- White glove inside delivery to job site
- Minor assembly of shelving and other equipment
- Removal of debris from job site
Liberty also handles equipment swap outs for LPQ locations in Los Angeles and Washington DC when old equipment needs to be replaced.
