Preventive Maintenance Calendar & Routine Checklist

Why this tool helps

Register each piece of equipment, assign preventive tasks and cadence, record minimum spare-parts holdings, capture vendor and warranty details, and set reminder lead times. Use the saved entries to build a calendar, prioritize critical assets, and reduce emergency repairs that interrupt service.

Quick guidance

  • Criticality: Mark items whose failure stops service or risks food safety as Critical.
  • Frequencies: Daily for high-use surfaces; Weekly for condenser/grease trap checks; Monthly for calibration; Quarterly for filters; Annual for full inspections.
  • Spare parts: Keep minimum quantities for long-lead items and record typical lead time so reminders can account for procurement delays.
Example: Walk-in Freezer #1 - TurboCool 4500
e.g., Kitchen 1, Front-of-house, Rooftop
Internal ID, serial number, or inventory tag
Use Critical for items that, if failed, stop service or risk safety. This helps prioritization.
Optional numeric score to support sorting and dashboards
1.0 10.0
List tasks (e.g., clean condenser coil; lubricate motor; check door seals; test thermostat). Separate tasks with line breaks.
Choose the standard cadence for the preventive tasks.
If 'Other' or condition-based, describe trigger or interval (e.g., every 150 hours or after X cycles).
Enter date as YYYY-MM-DD or a helpful note. (Calendar sync may be available via future integrations.)
How many days before the next scheduled service should a reminder be issued? Example: 7
List required spare parts and minimum quantities (e.g., door gasket - 1; fan motor - 1). Use one part per line.
