Top Considerations When Hiring a Commercial Kitchen Service

Choosing the company who’s going to take care of your restaurant can be hard going. 

Commercial kitchens aren’t just complex: they also require timely service to ensure that you don’t lose business while your equipment is down.

At the end of the day, it boils down to a few simple qualities that can make a company great, instead of merely passible.

Cooperation

Your service company shouldn’t see you as a customer. Instead, they should recognize that the two of you are entering into a collaboration.

At the end of the day, a truly great commercial kitchen appliance service is a partner, not just someone who’s there to take your money.

After all, it’s a symbiotic relationship: you have the equipment. It’s in their best interest to make sure that it’s maintained, fixed, and set up correctly so they keep your business.

Experience

With the quick rise and fall of businesses these days, it’s not always fair to judge a company simply by how long they’ve been around.

Instead, you’ll have to look at the experience which a company represents. After all, a fifty-year-old company with only a half dozen employees each with three or four years of experience in the field really doesn’t add up to all that much.

It’s not just technician experience that matters, however, it’s also possible to find service providers who also have experience in the restaurant field themselves. It’s a tough business, and an insider knows that better than anyone.

Expertise

The expertise with which technicians can work will vary. Some things really aren’t all that hard, after all, even in a complex field like restaurant equipment repair.

The best are definitely going to charge more than your average neighborhood handyman, however.

With budget rate services, you also run the risk of work lists suddenly expanding while you get a “deal.”  Or, even worse, the technician may not be able to figure out what’s going on at all.

That’s why you should always make sure that you’ve got the best techs working in your kitchen, rather than just the cheapest.  The difference for your business can be huge at the end of the day.

Reliability

Sometimes things break down.

Often, Murphy’s Law reigns supreme and the time that they’re broken down turns out to be the absolute worst time. Catastrophic oven failures, walk-in coolers going out overnight, and reach-in coolers being found warm in the middle of the dinner rush…

You’ve probably seen something like that and really hoped that whoever you called could get there, fix it on time, and stay out of the way while doing so.

Otherwise, your only options are to disrupt the fine-tuned machine that turns out food, and that cuts into profit even if you’re the best improviser in the world.

You need your technicians to show up on time, to actually do the preventative maintenance you’re paying them for, and to be there for you when emergencies happen.

After all, if that doesn’t happen then why hire the company at all?
