Repairing vs Replacing Your Restaurant Equipment

Over time, restaurant equipment starts to require some big fixes and maintenance costs. There's a point where you could be throwing more money into a piece of equipment than it's actually worth. The decision to replace your restaurant equipment comes down to age, price and condition. Keep reading to learn more about repairs vs replacement from your favorite Missouri restaurant equipment repair company.

Equipment Replacement Considerations


When deciding whether to repair or replace a piece of restaurant equipment, your first consideration should be safety, for you, your employees and even customers. You don't want to have a piece of equipment on your line that is no longer safe to operate or that could start a fire in your kitchen. You need to be particularly careful when it comes to ovens, as an improperly working gas flue poses a fire hazard. Fryers also pose a hazard if the tubes transferring oil to the heat element begin to crack and leak. 

The next thing you'll want to take into consideration is escalating repair costs. If you're constantly throwing money into repairing the same piece of equipment, eventually you will have spent enough to just buy a new one. It's important that you weigh the costs of repair compared to replacement. Something else to think about is parts availability. Restaurant equipment continues to advance year after year with new technology. Depending on how old your equipment is, finding parts to repair the equipment could be difficult or expensive at least. You'll have to evaluate each piece of equipment individually to see which option is best for you.
