Cooking, plating, and serving food require a wide variety of devices: fryers, knives, ovens, and more. Don’t forget the tools that silently keep your business running, like slip-resistant floors and bright lighting in the kitchen. It’s easy to overlook these elements because they blend right into the background; however, they need maintenance to keep your restaurant running smoothly.

Topgolf: A Case Study in Excellence
If you’re looking for a more in-depth look at how our team has been active in the food service industry, look no further than Topgolf, the locally famous entertainment venue with golf and restaurant sections. Because of the multifaceted services that Topgolf offers, Mr. Handyman had to be on point not just for regular building maintenance, but for commercial food service repairs that had guest comfort and food safety in mind. It’s important to minimize disruptions, get the job done quickly (and the right way the first time!), and mitigate the spread of particles or chemicals that could threaten the building’s food supply.
Topgolf had some tiles that had started to lift, which can be a problem in any area with food. The break in the seal between tiles can provide a place for food debris to get stuck, where it may grow bacteria. It’s also a trip hazard for servers and guests. Mr. Handyman got those tiles patched up right away so service wouldn’t be interrupted.
Elsewhere on the property, a sudden impact had cracked a part of the wall tiling. Topgolf knew this was an urgent matter, as they didn’t want visitors to injure themselves on the sharp edges of the crack. Mr. Handyman restored the wall so that the repair was seamless and blended right in!
The Long-Term Impact of Restaurant Maintenance
When you’ve got so much on your plate, it’s easy to say you’ll get to those minor repairs later. However, maintaining a restaurant in good condition can do more than just save you money on bigger repair expenses later.
- Positive customer engagement – A restaurant that’s always tidy and well-maintained helps guests feel taken care of and safe. No one wants to eat in a place with water stains on the walls or dim lighting inside fixtures that don’t look like they’ve been cleaned in ten years. Small things, like touching up paint or repairing restrooms to function comfortably, can convey that your restaurant cares about customers’ experiences. In fact, studies show that people who eat in a well-kept restaurant tend to rate their food as higher-quality and more delicious than people who eat that same food in a restaurant that isn’t as visually nice.
- Compliance – Restaurants need to impress more than their customers, they also need to wow inspectors. Issues such as insufficient lighting, improper food storage, and trip hazards can leave a food service business with a negative score on their compliance checklists. At best, this lower score reflects poorly on the business, and at worst, the establishment might need to close until the issues are resolved. Keeping things maintained regularly prevents compliance issues and keeps the business open.
- Longevity – Stopping problems before they worsen is the difference between a building lasting just a few decades or an entire lifetime. If you don’t take care of your restaurant now, you could be paying a big price later in the form of an entirely new building.
