Streamline Operations with Best-Selling Restaurant Equipment Parts
Restaurant equipment parts are the backbone of any functioning kitchen and are crucial for maintaining a seamless operation–without functioning parts, your essential cooking and food prep equipment (such as ovens and refrigerators) could break down and stop working.
Consistent maintenance and timely replacement of any faulty parts help keep your equipment up and running and ensure that your operations continue to run smoothly. Parts such as thermostats, light bulbs, and even screws ensure that ovens, stoves, refrigeration units, and all other equipment work efficiently by maintaining consistent temperatures, adequate lighting, and keeping doors and other pieces together.
The typical rule of thumb is if the cost of maintenance is 60% or higher of the cost of a replacement part, you should replace the part.
For example, on a refrigerator, some parts that should be replaced rather than repaired would be:
- Ice Maker Components
- Condensor Coils
- Door Handles
- Door Gaskets
The difficulty of repairing equipment parts depends entirely on the complexity of the part and the expertise of the technician. Some more complex parts include:
- Gear Systems
- Transmissions
- Valves
- Hydraulic Pumps
Replacing parts is pretty straightforward, with little to no difficulty involved.
There are a few simple steps to identifying the restaurant equipment parts that need replacing:
- First, you need to identify the specific malfunction or wear that your equipment is experiencing.
- Then, always reference your equipment manuals.
- Lastly, consult with a technician or supplier for further guidance.
