A Heritage of Innovation
In 1947, Lakeside created a stainless steel cart to solve a problem for a beauty shop. Later that year, we modified it for a restaurant supply company and it became known as our #311. Today, the #311 remains our best selling cart.

In the early 1950’s, a version of this utility cart with a heated top was developed for home use. The “Hot Top” was later honored by the New York Museum of Art with a design award for creativity and innovation. Now as then, innovation remains an integral part of Lakeside's culture.

Communication
To best serve our customers, we strive to understand their businesses. Our marketing team travels extensively, visiting customers to listen and learn how to improve our programs and products. Our engineers perform on-site field research to observe people interacting with our products in order to identify possible improvements. And our customer service representatives are trained to provide the highest level of service available in the industry, assisting customers quickly and capably.

Knowledge & Expertise
Cross-training and education are mandatory at Lakeside. We make this investment in our employees because it allows us to offer the best customer service and product craftsmanship. It's a commitment that pays off!

Currently, Lakeside employs 26 employees with 20 to 40 years of tenure – each. These employees work in all areas of the company including production, planning, engineering, customer service, marketing and accounting. Thus, our products are not only backed by the best warranty in the business, but they are also backed by a company whose employees collectively represent over 5,000 years of experience.
