Setting Up a Proper Maintenance Program for Your Restaurant

Having an equipment maintenance program in place for your restaurant is critical for keeping your business operational and successful. In today's blog, your favorite Missouri restaurant equipment maintenance company discusses how to setup a maintenance plan.

Reactive Maintenance Plans 


The first aspect of your maintenance plan to think of is what will happen if a repair is needed. Who needs to know about the repair? Who is in charge of handling the situation? Where and how do you track this information? Will you hire a Missouri restaurant equipment repair company to handle the repairs? You want to make sure to have this reactive maintenance plan in place before you have an equipment breakdown. Have a list of procedures, and make sure to have your equipment repair companies number handy! To reach Fast Fix LLC, you can call 573-544-0456 for the Columbia area or 636-327-8349 for the St. Louis and Western Illinois area.

Preventative & Routine Maintenance Programs 


The next thing you should think about in regard to restaurant equipment maintenance is preventative and routine maintenance. The better you keep up with your equipment, the less likely you are to have a major malfunction or breakdown. Most warranties will actually require some type of preventative maintenance plan in order to keep that warranty valid. From the under-the-counter chiller to the HVAC unit on the roof, there are things you can do to keep your equipment in the best working condition possible. Hiring a food-service equipment maintenance company in Missouri is the best way to ensure your equipment is being properly maintained. Be sure to perform regular cleaning on all your equipment as well; this is a huge aspect of equipment maintenance that is often overlooked.

Tracking of Your Maintenance Efforts 


From preventative maintenance to equipment repairs, you need to figure out how to track everything that's going on with your restaurant equipment. This tracking system can be anything from a spreadsheet to a work order management tool. However you choose to track things, you'll want to have a complete list of all the equipment at your location, including each piece's manufacturer, model and serial numbers, warranty information. You'll also want to include any repairs that have been done on that equipment, the date of those repairs, the cost of those repairs and any other notes or communication regarding the repairs. A proper tracking system will be able to show you what's going on with the equipment in your restaurant, and will be useful if you need to decide on repairs vs replacement in the future.
