4 Advantages of Keeping a Maintenance Record

When running a restaurant, equipment maintenance is a top priority. Without properly working equipment, your restaurant can't operate as normal. Fast Fix LLC is here to help you make maintenance a priority in your commercial kitchen. Keep reading to learn about some of the advantages of keeping a detailed maintenance record.

1. To Prevent Costly Repairs. 


With regular use, your restaurant equipment is prone to some general wear and tear. Regular inspections and maintenance can prevent small issues from turning into larger, more costly problems. Fixing small damages before they cause major issues, like equipment malfunction, will keep your restaurant equipment working efficiently, for longer. By keeping a maintenance record, you can ensure that each piece of commercial kitchen equipment in your restaurant is in tip-top shape.


2. To Increase Operator Safety. 


Operating faulty equipment is dangerous. Restaurant equipment that is well-maintained reduces the risk of accidents and on-the-job injuries. Having a documented maintenance record will help you keep track of the health of each piece of equipment in your commercial kitchen. It also enables you to schedule an inspection when needed, and ensures your equipment is safe for your employees to operate.

3. To Make Warranty Claims Easier.  


In the event that you need to make a warranty claim on a piece of restaurant equipment, having a maintenance record will make that process much easier. You'll want to keep a record of the type of maintenance work done on each piece of equipment, as well as the date and time those repairs were done. This information will help determine your rights for a warranty claim. Don't forget that your favorite Missouri restaurant equipment service company does warranty work too!

4. To Increase the Resale Value. 


In the event that you choose to sell your restaurant equipment, either due to a restaurant closing or an equipment upgrade, having a maintenance record to show the prospective buyer will increase the resale value. Buyers want to know that a piece of used restaurant equipment is in tip-top shape before they purchase it. Presenting that buyer with documentation of the equipment's maintenance history shows them that the equipment has been well taken care of.

Keeping your restaurant equipment at optimum working conditions minimizes the risk of having unscheduled downtime, and keeps your restaurant operating efficiently.
