Commercial Kitchen Equipment Service
No ReKeying — Every Service Agreement Renewed, Every Visit Logged Automatically
Maintenance agreements are your most profitable recurring revenue — and the ones most likely to slip through the cracks. Renewal dates buried in a spreadsheet, missed visits never billed, customers who forgot they had a contract. No ReKeying means every agreement visit is dispatched, logged, and billed without manual follow-through.

Commercial kitchen techs work in active kitchens where a broken fryer at 4 PM is a $2,000-per-hour revenue problem for the operator. Paper service tickets get greasy, soaked, and lost — and when a health inspector asks for the last hood cleaning and equipment service record, a missing paper form can close the restaurant.

How Maintenance Agreement Tracking Actually Looks in Commercial Kitchen Equipment Service
The Scenario
A commercial kitchen equipment company has service agreements with 40 restaurant accounts covering quarterly PM visits on all major equipment. Due to a scheduling error, 8 accounts missed their Q2 PM. The omission was discovered when one restaurant's fryer failed — and a warranty claim was denied for lack of maintenance records.
The Real Impact
Missed PM visits under kitchen equipment service agreements void OEM warranties on covered equipment — turning a warranty repair into a $2,000–$8,000 billable emergency the customer blames on the service company.
Does This Sound Like Your Commercial Kitchen Equipment Service Operation?
- !Maintenance agreement visits get skipped and nobody notices until the customer calls
- !Renewal dates are tracked in a spreadsheet that someone forgets to check
- !Agreement customers get treated like one-off jobs — no priority scheduling
The Cost of Doing Nothing
A missed maintenance agreement visit is lost revenue and a broken promise. If 10% of your agreement visits are missed, a $50K/month agreement base leaks $5K/month — $60K/year — in unbilled work.
