What You Need to Know About Restaurant Equipment Maintenance

By better understanding the role of restaurant equipment in your commercial kitchen and how important that upkeep is, you'll be able to decrease your overall costs, improve your maintenance and repair budget, and schedule capital upgrade costs on your schedule and time frame. By making smart and informed choices about equipment maintenance, you'll be able to save money, time and frustration. Here's what you need to know about restaurant equipment maintenance in Missouri:

1. You Can Reduce Repair Costs Through Regular Maintenance. 


Think of it like your vehicle; you perform regular oil changes to reduce the likelihood of needing engine repairs. The better you take care of your vehicle through regular maintenance checks, the less likely you are to need repairs. Reducing the amount of repairs needed will decrease the cost of repairs. Plus the cost of maintaining your equipment is typically much less expensive than paying for the repairs after neglecting a maintenance issue. The same concept applies for your restaurant equipment. Equipment problems arise when your equipment is not properly cleaned and maintained. At Fast Fix LLC, we offer individualized maintenance agreements to promote the health of your commercial kitchen. Ask about them when you call!

2. Regular Maintenance Can Prevent Premature Upgrade Costs. 


Let's face it. Your restaurant equipment isn't going to last forever. If you bought your equipment used, that's especially true. However, with proper maintenance, you can extend the life of your equipment, therefore spreading out the cost more. Upgrading a piece of equipment is not an inexpensive task. You want to make sure everything doesn't need replaced at once or your restaurant could easily go out of business. Schedule regular maintenance for your equipment to not only extend the life, but increase efficiency and productivity. Don't put off repairs either, as this can lead to worse problems that could lead to the need for replacement.

3. Utility Costs Can Be Lowered with Regular Maintenance. 


Not only will regular maintenance help your equipment last longer, but it can reduce your utility costs. Equipment that is not working properly is not using energy efficiently. Often times equipment will pull more energy than typically needed to overcompensate for the maintenance or repair issue that needs addressed. Regular maintenance will ensure all your restaurant equipment is working as it should be. If you notice your utility bill has increased, chances are a piece of equipment is in need of maintenance or repairs.

4. Regular Maintenance Allows Production of Higher Quality Food. 


Restaurant equipment that's not in proper working order not only decreases the efficiency in your service ability, but can also affect the quality of the food. Certain foods need to be prepared at certain temperatures for a certain amount of time. Changes in those temperatures or cook times due to faulty equipment can make food undercooked, overcooked, soggy, etc. Regular maintenance on your restaurant will ensure consistency in your food production, in both quality and preparation time.
