CMMS for restaurants
Maintenance software for restaurants & food service
For a restaurant, the best maintenance software is one any line cook or manager can use the second the walk-in starts creeping warm. Snippath is a flat-rate CMMS where staff scan a QR code to report equipment problems in seconds, work orders track the fix (with parts and cost), and recurring tasks — hood cleaning, fryer service, fridge-gasket checks — generate on schedule so equipment fails less. It's free to start and one flat fee per workspace, so the whole crew can report issues without per-person pricing.
Protect the equipment that protects your revenue
A down walk-in or a dead fryer is lost service. Snippath gives every piece of equipment a record — coolers, fryers, ranges, dish machines, HVAC — so you see what keeps breaking, what it costs, and when it's due for service before it dies mid-rush.
Anyone can report, no training needed
QR code on the equipment → scan → describe it → done, in under 30 seconds from a phone, no login. A dishwasher noticing a leak doesn't need a manager or a login; the ticket reaches the right person instantly with a push notification.
Preventive maintenance + inspection checklists
Schedule hood-cleaning, fryer boil-outs, and temperature/sanitation checks as recurring tasks and checklists. Snippath creates the work when it's due and keeps a record — useful for health-inspection prep and for holding vendors accountable.
How it looks day-to-day
Mid-dinner, a server notices the dessert reach-in is at 50°F. They scan the QR sticker, snap a photo, hit submit. The GM gets a push, the fridge's history shows it's the third gasket issue this year, and they decide to replace the unit instead of patching it again — with the cost data to justify it.
Frequently asked questions
- What's the best CMMS for a restaurant or restaurant group?
- For independents and small groups that want flat pricing and dead-simple reporting, Snippath fits well: QR-code issue reporting any staffer can use, per-equipment history and cost, and scheduled preventive maintenance — at one flat monthly fee instead of per-user. Larger chains may want enterprise facilities platforms at higher cost.
- How do restaurants track equipment maintenance and repairs?
- The dependable way is a CMMS where each cooler, fryer, and HVAC unit has a record. In Snippath, staff report issues by QR code, work orders capture the fix and cost, and recurring tasks handle preventive service — replacing the binder, the texts, and the 'who called the repair guy?' confusion.
- Is there free maintenance software for a small restaurant?
- Yes — Snippath's free tier (2 users, 25 active issues, all core features, no time limit) is enough for a single small restaurant to start. Most upgrade to a flat $19–$99/month plan as they add staff or locations.
