🍻 Prost to another Chranetoberfest! After weeks of counting down, Chranetoberfest 2026 brought the foodservice community together at The "MIX" in DFW and Houston, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who was part of it!

To our manufacturer partners, thank you for showing up for us and our customers, sharing your expertise, showcasing solutions, and helping make Chranetoberfest what it is. And to every customer, industry partner, and friend who walked through our doors, thank you for spending the day with us!

We love getting to open up The "MIX" for days like this. There was plenty of equipment to explore (and plenty of food and steins to go around 🍺), but some of our favorite moments were the conversations in between. Catching up with familiar faces, making new introductions, swapping ideas, and spending time together is what makes Chranetoberfest so special to us. We’re grateful for another Chranetoberfest we won’t soon forget, and already looking forward to the next time we get to welcome you back!

See a piece of equipment you want to learn more about? Send us a DM, and we’ll connect you with Your Chrane Rep to keep the conversation going.

Until then, Prost! 🍻

🍻 Ein Prosit! Chranetoberfest is TOMORROW!

We're putting the finishing touches on The "MIX" Test Kitchens in DFW and Houston, including getting Krowne's b**r tap system ready to flow for event day.

Tomorrow, join us from 12:00–4:00 PM for the Manufacturer Expo to see equipment firsthand, ask questions, talk solutions, and connect directly with our manufacturer partners. Then, from 4:00–7:00 PM, stick around for the Networking Reception with food, beverages, games, live music, and plenty more time to connect with the foodservice community.

And thanks to Libbey, our steins are ready for Chranetoberfest too! Don't forget, our Annual Stein Holding Contest kicks off at 4:30 PM. 🍻

After weeks of planning and sharing what's ahead, we're excited to welcome everyone to Chranetoberfest tomorrow!

🍻 ONE WEEK until Chranetoberfest! You’ve seen who’s joining us. Now, it’s time to see how the day comes together.

We’ll kick things off at 12 PM with four hours dedicated to the Manufacturer Expo. Come ready to meet our manufacturer partners, see equipment firsthand, ask questions, and talk through solutions for your operation.

At 4 PM, we’ll shift gears into the Networking Reception, but our manufacturer partners aren’t going anywhere! Keep the conversations going over food and drinks, put your strength to the test in our Annual Stein Holding Contest at 4:30 PM, and stick around for live music from 5–7 PM. 🍺🎶

👀 One more event-day update: when you RSVP, we’ll create a personalized name badge with your own unique QR code to pick up at check-in. Participating manufacturers can scan your badge throughout the Expo, making it easy for them and Your Chrane Rep to follow up and keep the conversation going after Chranetoberfest. Haven’t registered yet? RSVP using the link in our bio!

Seven days to go! Save the rundown, start planning your day, and we’ll see you September 24! 🍻

🍺 Fun fact: At Oktoberfest, b**r is traditionally served by the Maß, a one-liter mug. Sounds like a pretty good reason to start warming up that stein-holding arm before our Annual Stein Holding Contest. 😉

🍻 Dear Chraniacs, we're officially two weeks away from Chranetoberfest, and the lineup just got even bigger!

Since our last announcement, we've added several new manufacturer partners, including Nieco, Carter-Hoffmann and Powerhouse Dynamics in Houston, plus Middleby Ice in both DFW and Houston. More manufacturers means even more equipment to explore, solutions to discover, and opportunities to connect directly with the people behind them.

From 12–4 PM, make your way through the Manufacturer Expo to see equipment firsthand, ask questions, talk solutions, and connect with our manufacturer partners. Then, from 4–7 PM, keep the conversations going at the Networking Reception with food, beverages, games, live music, and plenty of time to connect with manufacturers, the Chrane team, and fellow foodservice professionals.

We can't wait to bring the foodservice community together on September 24! 🍻 Reserve your spot through the link in our bio, then drop a 🥨 in the comments if we'll see you there.

👀 Pro tip: Start planning your Chranetoberfest game plan now! Check out the lineup, pick your must-see manufacturers, and come ready with the questions you want answered. And stay tuned to our Stories as we share behind-the-scenes prep on the road to Chranetoberfest!

🍻 One month until Chranetoberfest, and the lineup is HERE! On September 24, The MIX Test Kitchens in DFW and Houston are bringing together manufacturer partners and the foodservice community for an afternoon built around seeing equipment firsthand, asking questions, swapping ideas, and finding solutions for real-world operations.

From 12:00-4:00 PM, meet directly with the manufacturers behind the equipment, explore what's new, and talk through the challenges and opportunities you're seeing in your operation. 👀 Swipe to see which manufacturers you'll find at each Chranetoberfest location. Then, when the Manufacturer Expo wraps, don't head home just yet. From 4:00-7:00 PM, we're trading the expo floor for an Oktoberfest-inspired networking reception with food, beverages, games, live music, and plenty more time to connect. 🍺🎶

One month out means it's officially countdown time. Reserve your spot through the link in our bio, and start planning who you want to see while you're here! Have questions? Reach out to Your Chrane Rep. We'd love to help!

🍻 Fun fact: The real Oktoberfest starts taking shape long before the first “Prost!” In Munich, setup begins nearly three months before opening day, with the massive festival tents going up first. Consider this our sign that one month out is officially time to start getting excited. 😉

🍻 Some of the best ideas in foodservice don't come from a presentation. They come from a conversation. That's what Chranetoberfest is all about.

Join us Thursday, September 24, from 12:00-7:00 PM at Chrane's "The MIX" Test Kitchens in DFW and Houston for an afternoon of equipment, ideas, and connections across the foodservice industry. From 12:00-4:00 PM, explore our manufacturer showcase, experience equipment demonstrations, ask questions directly, and discover solutions you can bring back to your operation. Then, from 4:00-7:00 PM, the day transitions into our Oktoberfest-inspired networking reception with food, beverages, games, and more opportunities to connect with operators, consultants, dealers, manufacturers, and the Chrane team.

And this is only the beginning. Over the coming weeks, we'll reveal participating manufacturers, featured equipment, event details, and more of what we have on tap for this year's Chranetoberfest.

Reserve your spot today: https://lnkd.in/g-ER5Mz6

Have questions? Reach out to Your Chrane Rep. We'd be happy to help!

🍻 Fun fact: At Oktoberfest, it's considered bad luck by many to skip eye contact when saying "Prost!" Better start practicing now.
