Commercial Kitchen Equipment Maintenance Matters

September 28, 2018

When you are buying new equipment for your commercial kitchen in Missouri, it’s easy to focus on the brands and technical details. You may do a lot of research about the equipment, how it works, and what an asset it will be for your facility. What you may have forgotten to research, though, is the maintenance needs of this equipment. Of course, until something breaks - then it’s time to call the experts. At Fast Fix LLC, we know it’s hard to keep up on routine commercial kitchen maintenance, but that doesn’t make it less important. If you can keep on top of it, not only can maintenance reduce stress, but it can also reduce large repair costs. Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you think about your equipment maintenance.

Make Routine a Priority

One of the easiest ways to care for your commercial kitchen equipment is to stay up to date on scheduled cleaning and preventative maintenance. Clean and well-maintained equipment functions at its very best, and will return the favor with efficiency and productivity to utility consumption. If you don’t make proper cleaning and maintenance a priority, it won’t only affect the performance, but can also impact the safety.

Range fires are caused simply from grease buildup but can be avoided with proper attention. The thing to remember, though, is that range fires cost restaurants millions of dollars every year - and that can be avoided simply by cleaning them properly and making sure they are given routine maintenance.

Don’t Underestimate Professional Service

At Fast Fix, LLC - we make you a priority. When you have an emergency, we do our best to get to you as soon as possible. Cleaning and sanitizing can only get you so far, eventually, you’re going to need diagnostic tests run, and our service technicians can help locate small or emerging issues before they becoming much larger. This can save you business much larger, and avoidable maintenance costs, but it also can extend the life of your ranges, ovens, fryers, steamers, griddles and other pieces of equipment that you rely on.

Prevent Breakdown Time

Many of the pieces in your commercial kitchen are invaluable. They are used regularly, and downtime can impact the way your kitchen is run, and even the food that is prepared. Scheduling regular checkups on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis can help prevent you from having to make a frantic call to us asking for assistance. It’s true, one call really does it all! If you are in the middle of an emergency, we make you a priority. But if regular maintenance can help you avoid a challenging situation, it’s worth the investment.
