Best Repairs to Get Done Through Off-Seasons

At Fast Fix, we serve a wide area around Missouri and Western Illinois. One location we love to come down and service is the Lake of the Ozarks. With all of the lakefront restaurants and five-star hospitality venues, there are always plenty of commercial kitchen repairs to be made and it keeps us busy. Of course, as you move into the off-season at a Lake restaurant, it can be the perfect time to tune up your appliances and do some deep cleaning that had to get postponed through the busy summer season. Here are a few things you can get repaired while your commercial appliances in Missouri are winterized, and how the team at Fast Fix LLC can help.


Refrigeration Units

Regular maintenance of your refrigerated equipment, like your walk-in or reach-in coolers, can prevent breakdowns during the busy season. If you keep it running at optimum efficiency, you'll find that it treats you well. It doesn't take much to make them tick, the condensers and coils will need to be cleaned, the thermostats need to be calibrated, and the pressure needs to be checked. Not only can preventative maintenance prevent costly repairs, but it can also save your food from spoiling.

Steamers

Here in the Midwest, hard water can really wreak havoc on your steamers. Descaling them can bring them back to working like new in no time. You'll also want to have these units calibrated to make sure that the thermostats are heating properly.

Cooking Equipment

From your stoves and grills to your ovens, there is a lot of baked on grease. It can be beneficial to get this deep cleaned and have them ready to be winterized. Of course, the next step is to make sure that the burners and thermostats are also calibrated. Sometimes this can be done on your own, with the help of your manual. However, if you're going to be getting regular maintenance done on your other appliances, you may as well just have us do it. If your cooking equipment is off by at least forty degrees, you'll definitely want to let us take care of it for you as there could be something broken that needs to be repaired.

Dish Machines

A good dish machine is pivotal for a restaurant. However, even a good dish machine needs some maintenance on a regular basis to keep it up and running. It's always a good idea to de-scale these pieces of equipment on a regular basis, and make sure you pay attention to both the booster and the interior of the unit. It's also a good idea to have the float switches calibrated regularly, and the sensors maintained. If the water isn't heating up properly, you won't be getting a good clean.


Getting Ready for Next Season

Winter is a great time to get appliances looked at for Lake of the Ozarks restaurants, because the season is slower and you don't have nearly as many guests you're serving. Some restaurants even close for the winter, which is a great time to get things repaired and back up in perfect order. Fast Fix LLC serves a huge area, but we always love coming down and getting our lake restaurants back up in perfect order! Be sure to check in with us as your schedule starts to wind down and get a date set for your repairs and maintenance. Don't forget, one call does it all!
