Software
Software, sensors and getting started
What software does and does not do, how to evaluate one, which integrations matter, and what an independent operator with two sites should do instead.
What Maintenance Software Does
Explainer
It stores records, routes work and reports. It does not build an asset register, negotiate an agreement or complete a work order.
Evaluating a Maintenance Platform
Checklist
The demonstrations run on complete data you do not have. Questions that reveal how a product behaves with contracted vendors.
Analysis
Vendors sell connections to everything. Two are genuinely valuable for restaurant maintenance and one is usually not worth the effort.
Sensors and Remote Monitoring: What Is Real
Analysis
Temperature monitoring genuinely pays for itself. Most of the rest of the connected-equipment story is ahead of what restaurant equipment actually supports.
Maintenance for One or Two Restaurants
Checklist
Everything else on this site assumes an estate. For an independent operator the whole programme fits on two pages and costs almost nothing.
Procedure
The first ninety days, in order, for an operator with no programme. Nothing here requires a purchase, and the sequence matters more than the speed.
