Planned Preventative Commercial Kithen Maintenance in Herts
As a business owner, you need to know your equipment is reliable, so you can confidently go about your work without the fear of any vital appliance breaking down. The best way to gain this peace of mind is via planned preventative maintenance (PPM).
PPM is essentially the process of regularly servicing vital aspects of your kitchen, such as commercial ovens and extraction fans. We attend your premises a pre-determined number of times per year and fully service agreed on appliances. This ensures most problems are caught early, and you don’t suffer an expensive breakdown later.
It’s also important to remember that regular maintenance is often a proviso of insurance, plus it ensures your business is as safe as possible for customers and staff. You’ll also find that regularly serviced appliances last longer, bringing down the costs of equipment replacement.
Benefits of Regular Catering Equipment Maintenance in Herts
Pre-empt and Prevent
Scheduling routine catering equipment maintenance allows you to avoid potential breakdowns by identifying problems when they first arise, dealing with them promptly and efficiently to minimise the threat of bigger issues later down the line.
Compliance and Safety
Maintenance and repair work is necessary to ensure that your kitchen is compliant with the relevant regulatory standards. For one thing, well-maintained equipment means less risk of a fire. Staff safety should be a priority, and this means ensuring your equipment is performing as it should.
Extend the Lifespan of Your Equipment
Appliances and machines that are looked after properly will continue to perform for longer and you’re less likely to encounter breakdowns. Regular maintenance stops deterioration and maximises efficiency. Professional catering equipment maintenance is, therefore, an important way of protecting your investment. And well-maintained equipment also has a better resale value should you want to pass your equipment on at a later date.
Save Money
By dramatically reducing the risk of future breakdown and the disruption and downtime it entails, you save money in the long term. While unanticipated breakdowns can lead to lost revenue and disappointed customers, high-performing equipment is efficient, allows for a smooth operation and consistently delivers a quality service, boosting customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Planned Preventative Maintenance FAQs
We recommend that you have your commercial kitchen equipment serviced at least every 6 months. This ensures that it remains in the best possible condition and that any issues are identified before they become problems that could lead to disruption for your business.
Maintaining catering equipment is not just a question of keeping it clean, although this is important. You also should organise regular inspections of the equipment by knowledgeable engineers who will ensure that everything is in working order and proactively deal with any problems before they start affecting your operations.
Routine maintenance of commercial catering equipment is not just important to ensure that the machines work as they should but to also save money in the long term. Keeping everything working smoothly and dealing with small faults when they first arise reduces the risk of serious breakdowns later on. You’ll enjoy better food quality, your staff will enjoy a more efficient and safer working environment, and your equipment will enjoy an extended life span.
