Nearly 90% of your maintenance budget is funding emergencies—not prevention
Reactive repairs cost you twice: once in inflated service calls ($880 vs. $393), and again in lost revenue when equipment fails during peak hours
There’s a reason it feels like you're always putting out fires. Most restaurants spend 88% of their maintenance budget on emergency repairs, and only 12% on planned upkeep.
Those emergencies are expensive. An unplanned repair costs over 120% more on average than a scheduled fix. When you multiply that premium across multiple assets, the impact on your budget becomes significant. And that’s just the direct cost. The real damage happens when a freezer goes down overnight or the AC fails during a dinner rush—taking your restaurant offline and driving guests straight to your competitors.
The good news? Shifting just 10% of your reactive work to preventative maintenance could save you millions annually.
See where your budget is going—and how to get control.
