"If I were to summarize how TriMark R.W. Smith is unique in one word, it would be proactive. I have been very impressed with the level of service from my sales representative. Our sales rep has been attentive and aware of our operation's changing needs. Our hotel just underwent a large renovation, so we needed quite a bit of new equipment and we relied heavily on TriMark R.W. Smith throughout the process to provide everything. We felt the service was customized and that we weren't just another stop on the sales route.

"TriMark R.W. Smith continues to add value to our partnership by taking the time to listen to our needs and deliver product that fits within those expectations. Their customer service has enabled us to choose the best equipment for our operation so we can ultimately wow the guest."

"TriMark R.W. Smith's staff is efficient and flexible, always going out of their way to find me the products I want. We were able to change our buffet look with all new equipment in a period of 2 months. We didn't have to wait long for each piece to complete the set. It was very helpful, and it helps me get things done effectively. They have great relations with their vendors and it seems easy to ask for customized items and samples."
