The Restaurant Warehouse Equipment Scraper

The Restaurant Warehouse Equipment Scraper

Scrape commercial kitchen equipment from The Restaurant Warehouse by category, keyword, or direct URL. Every product row includes its price, brand, specs, and availability. No login required. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Finding the right commercial kitchen equipment means comparing dozens of models across brands like Atosa, True Refrigeration, and Turbo Air. The Restaurant Warehouse lists thousands of products, but manually checking each one is slow. This Actor reads the public product feeds directly, so you can collect refrigerators, freezers, prep tables, ice machines, and more in one fixed schema.

Who uses it	What they scrape The Restaurant Warehouse for
Restaurant owners	Compare prices and specs for a new walk-in cooler or fryer before buying.
Kitchen equipment dealers	Monitor competitor pricing and stock availability on high-demand items.
Market researchers	Track which brands and equipment types are listed most often this quarter.
Procurement managers	Build a structured catalog of available equipment for a new location build-out.

What it does

This Actor collects equipment products from The Restaurant Warehouse by category handle, search query, or direct product URL, and returns each one as a flat row.

• 📂 Category collection: Feed it collection handles like refrigerators, freezers, or cooking-equipment to pull every product in that section.
• 🔍 Keyword search: Use a product name or keyword to search across names, descriptions, and tags, returning only the matches.
• 🔗 Direct URLs: Paste specific product page URLs to collect exactly those items, one row per URL.
• 🏷️ Brand filter: Narrow any collection or search to a single brand, such as Atosa or True Refrigeration, as the Actor runs.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

What you can do with The Restaurant Warehouse data

📊 Build a competitive pricing sheet.

A dealer runs the Actor weekly on the refrigerators and freezers categories, filters by True Refrigeration, and exports a CSV to update their own price list against the market.

📋 Plan a new kitchen layout.

A restaurant owner collects all prep tables, sinks, and griddles into one dataset, then filters by dimensions in a spreadsheet to see what fits the floor plan.

📈 Track brand availability trends.

A market researcher runs the Actor monthly across all cooking-equipment handles and charts which brands appear most often, spotting supply shifts early.

🔗 Audit a specific equipment list.

A procurement manager pastes 50 product URLs into the Actor and gets a clean table of current prices and stock statuses for a purchase order review.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your collection handle or search query is spelled exactly as it appears in the site URL. Also, verify the brand filter is not too restrictive. Try running without the brand filter first to confirm the category or search returns products.

The Actor is collecting fewer products than expected.

The max items setting limits the total per run. Increase this number. Also, some categories may have fewer products than you anticipate. Check the live site to confirm the category size.

Some product fields are empty in my dataset.

Not every product listing on The Restaurant Warehouse includes all specs. If a field like dimensions or material is missing from the page, it will be empty in your output. This is normal variation in the source data.

The brand filter is not returning the brand I entered.

The filter matches the brand text as it appears on the site. Try a partial name or check the exact spelling on a product page. Some brands may be listed under a parent company name.

My run timed out.

Large collections can take time. Increase the run timeout in your Apify actor settings, or reduce the max items to collect fewer products per run and split the work across multiple runs.

FAQ

Question	Answer
What is a collection handle?	A collection handle is the last part of a category URL on The Restaurant Warehouse site. For example, the refrigerators page URL ends in /collections/refrigerators, so the handle is refrigerators. You can find handles by browsing the site and copying the slug from the address bar.
Can I scrape multiple categories in one run?	Yes. Add multiple collection handles in the input, and the Actor will collect products from each one sequentially, up to the max items limit you set.
Does this Actor require a login or API key?	No. It reads the publicly available product listing pages directly, so no account, API key, or authentication is needed.
How do I filter by brand?	Enter a brand name in the Brand Filter field, such as Atosa or Turbo Air. The Actor will only return products whose brand matches that string as it reads each page.
What format does the data export to?	You can export your dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML directly from the Apify platform after the run completes.
Can I scrape a single product by its URL?	Yes. Paste one or more direct product page URLs into the Product URLs field, and the Actor will collect only those items.
How many products can I collect per run?	You set the maximum in the input, up to 1,000,000 products. The Actor stops when it reaches that number or runs out of matching items.
Does the search query look at product descriptions?	Yes. The keyword search checks product names, descriptions, and tags on the site to find relevant matches.
What if a product is out of stock?	The Actor captures the availability status as shown on the page, so you will see if an item is in stock, backordered, or discontinued.
Can I schedule this Actor to run automatically?	Yes. Apify supports scheduled runs. You can set it to run daily or weekly to track price and stock changes over time.
