Service Contracts For Kitchen Equipment & HVAC
Day & Nite / All Service offers the best service contracts for commercial kitchen equipment and HVAC systems in the business. We cater to restaurant groups, corporate dining facilities and hospitality businesses like resorts or hotels. From our offices in New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, the Carolinas and Florida we provide a diverse range of integrated ongoing maintenance services from our refrigeration, kitchen equipment, HVAC and plumbing divisions.
Flexibility
One size does not fit all. That is why our custom programs are built around the needs of your business and designed specifically to reduce the long term operating cost of your commercial kitchen equipment or HVAC systems. We plan and execute all preventative maintenance to protect your investment.
Knowledge
We take training seriously. Onsite we have a technical training kitchen where we train technicians side by side with factory representatives. Our maintenance contract clients are serviced by Sr. Level technicians who know the equipment inside and out.
Technology
Every time a piece of equipment is touched the record is logged in our equipment service history database which we make available to our clients. Using a tablet or computer this information is available in real time and on demand. With transparency and technology we help operators see the full picture and more maintenance cycle data to make informed decisions.
Support
Our service contracts come with a full support team dedicated to reducing your downtime and keeping things running smoothly. Entering service agreements with Day & Nite / All Service means your business becomes our top priority. If there’s ever an emergency, our dispatch team will quickly send a technician to your location for repairs. We even keep a million dollars in spare parts laying around just in case.
We are the one to trust with your investment. Put your commercial kitchen equipment and HVAC systems in our hands and rest easy.
Transparency Through Technology
Transparency in a business practice context implies openness, communication and accountability. It means operating in a way that allows your customers to easily see what actions you are performing and therefore what you are really about. Day & Nite / All Service believes this to be a cornerstone of customer service and developing lasting customer relationships. With this in mind we are offering access for one unique user to our web based CRM (Customer Relationship Manager) portal for each service contract customer. The CRM can be logged on to from anywhere there is internet access and allows the client to place service calls, view open quotes and open invoices, approve quotes and even run reports of equipment history by site. It gives the client real-time access to the same valuable information that Day & Nite’s office staff is privy to. If you have a service contract and are interested in a demonstration please contact your account representative.
Day & Nite / All Service Launches Windows Based Equipment Monitoring Software
“The Cutting Edge” is a phrase that we most often associate with the technology driven industries denoting the highest level of development and improvement. Its not all that often that a service company can claim, much less demonstrate that they are on the cutting edge. Day & Nite / All Service is proud to be able to do just that. Their recently implemented windows based service/dispatch and accounting platform not only streamlines the office staffs transactions providing higher customer service levels, but it also supports a web based client interface giving the end user access to a host of functions they can monitor in real time. We are also in the final stages of deployment for ultramobile Android based tablets to each technician. The tablets give the technicians unfettered access to upload and view relevant information from the main database. Day & Nite / All Service actively seeks out partnerships with companies whose products can provide additional benefits to their clients. Temp Minder wireless temperature monitoring systems, Atmos Air Indoor Air Treatment Systems, Frigitek Energy Reducing Motors (See Gary’s Corner on pg 2 for more details) and Air Advice building energy savings solutions are just a few such ventures. We would like to thank everyone for the support and commitment in rolling out our wireless field technology successfully to date. We would especially like to thank Carlos Andrade and David Sher for their tireless efforts, training and insightful leadership on this mission critical endeavor.
