Choosing A Catering Equipment Repair and Servicing Specialist

In the catering business having fully functioning kitchen equipment that you can rely on is essential. Whether you are a small pub kitchen or a large hotel restaurant if equipment fails during service the consequence is detrimental to your business. Not only will you have unhappy customers, but you will be putting unnecessary pressure and strain on your staff who will have to try to work around the breakdown.

Service and Maintenance of Kitchen Equipment

Preventative measures are always the first strategy or approach to take when planning and managing a busy professional kitchen. Regular servicing and maintenance of equipment will prevent most of the common problems or breakdowns that will arise within professional kitchens. Putting these in place before you have any issues will greatly increase the lifespan of your equipment, whilst ensuring it is working to full efficiency. Here are some essentials to put in place:

• Electric, Gas and Combi Ovens – Serviced and tested Every 3 months.
• Gas Cookers and Griddles – Regular service and annual Gas Safety Certificate.
• Refrigeration and Cold Rooms – Serviced every 6 months.
• Dishwasher and Glass Washers – Service and descale every 6 months (in hard water areas more regular descaling will be required).

Regular Deep Cleaning of Catering Equipment

This may seem obvious but regular deep cleaning of your kitchen equipment is not only a hygiene requirement but essential to keep everything in good working order. Build up of grease, fat and limescale will cause inefficiencies and breakdowns if equipment is not cleaned well enough.

Catering Equipment Breakdown

In the unfortunate event of a breakdown, and these do happen sometimes even with preventative servicing, you will need to have an experienced repair specialist with a fast response time who can get to you quickly. The best option for this situation is that you use the company who provides the servicing and maintenance as they will be familiar with your equipment and your kitchen schedules.
