Preventive Kitchen Maintenance Questions
What does preventive kitchen maintenance cover?+
Coverage is set for each operation and may include recurring checks, minor repairs, adjustments, system monitoring, maintenance reporting and coordination across oil, grease, drains and exhaust.

Yes. A restaurant can begin with one service and expand only when consolidation makes operational sense.
