How Can I Track Equipment Breakdowns That Stop the Kitchen?
You track breakdowns by creating a record for each one, with the equipment, the time it failed, the impact on service, and the repair cost, so patterns and total downtime become visible. On Jestor, this runs through a Service Desk linked to your equipment table.
When a machine fails during service, everyone focuses on getting through the night. Afterwards, the details are forgotten, and the same machine fails again without anyone noticing that it has become a pattern.
What untracked breakdowns cost
- The same machine failing repeatedly without a decision to replace it
- No measurement of lost sales during downtime
- Repair costs scattered and never summed
- No clear owner for the follow-up
How breakdown tracking works
- Each failure is a ticket linked to the equipment record
- Start and end time give the downtime
- Cost and supplier are recorded after the repair
- A dashboard shows failures and cost by machine
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Patterns show when repair becomes more expensive than replacing
- Downtime can be measured in lost sales
- Technician contacts are kept on the equipment record
- This scales from one kitchen to many units
