The defining risk is not the cooking line but the path above it. Grease condenses through hood, duct and fan, which is fuel sitting directly over open flame inside a duct that runs through the building — and it is why 'cleaned to bare metal' is the standard rather than 'wiped down'. Refrigeration is the quieter half: it loses capacity through fouled condensers and tired door seals long before it fails.
ChatterFix builds these as child assets under commercial kitchen equipment, so failure history and PM completions attach to the component that actually failed — not just to the machine.
The failure modes worth designing a maintenance schedule around — in rough order of what they cost when they happen.
Recording that a PM was "done" tells you nothing next quarter. These are the readings that let you see a failure coming — and the reason ChatterFix captures measurements against the asset rather than just completions.
The parts whose absence turns a short repair into a long outage.
