Why Kitchen Equipment Maintenance?

Kitchen equipment failures during service hours are catastrophic. A broken oven during Saturday dinner rush, a refrigerator failure that spoils ₹50,000 of inventory, or an exhaust fan failure that shuts down the kitchen.

Maintenance Schedule

  • Daily: Check refrigerator temperatures, clean grill and fryer, inspect exhaust hoods
  • Weekly: Deep clean ovens, check dishwasher filters, inspect gas connections
  • Monthly: Professional refrigerator service, calibrate thermometers, check fire suppression
  • Quarterly: Full exhaust system cleaning, deep clean ice machines, inspect plumbing
