Restaurant Equipment Breakdowns

Regarding restaurant kitchen equipment breakdowns, we found an article which details some of the concerns for owners & management of food establishments:

https://www.accruent.com/resources/blog-posts/how-equipment-downtime-affects-restaurants


One section of that article reads, "Let’s take the example of a cooler breaking down. Your employees must spend time moving the food from the cooler to another location. That is, if the food is still safe to use and it does not need to be thrown away. Then, a manager has to delegate someone to clean the cooler before it starts to defrost, causing mold and mildew. This process alone can take hours to accomplish. Not to mention, you have a manager overseeing the broken cooler instead of overseeing day-to-day store operations, including serving customers. Of course, that is if you still have food to serve (depending on what food was thrown out from the faulty cooler)."

Building Humidity Either Too High Or Too Low

 This article from the HVACR Career website in New York has some helpful information about buildings and humidity levels which are either too high or too low. From the article's section on humidity levels being too high, it reads:


"What happens when indoor humidity is too high?

High humidity slows the evaporation of sweat from the skin, which is how we regulate body temperature. When sweat does not evaporate as readily, we feel more hot and sticky than we do when the air is drier, even when the temperature is the same.


Yet feeling too hot is only one effect of high humidity. Here’s what else can happen as relative humidity levels rise:


Heat-related illnesses, including heat rash, muscle cramps, heat exhaustion and even heat stroke

Growth of mold spores, dust mites, and other allergens

Bacteria and viruses that cause respiratory infections can more easily multiply and spread in high humidity

Musty odors can linger in the space

Increased levels of VOCs, ozone, and other pollutants

Damage to building structures and finishes from moist air and condensation"

There is more information which could be of interest if you own or manage any building. Contact us if you need any help with your heating, cooling and humidity control levels for a building or restaurant in the North Texas region.
