Traditional CMMS platforms (UpKeep, Limble, MaintainX, Fiix) were built for manufacturing and adapted to hospitality. Restaurant-focused CMMS tools — EquipTrack included — are designed around the realities of a working kitchen: high staff turnover, mixed-tenure equipment, warranty deadlines, and a non-technical user base.
Core CMMS capabilities to look for in a restaurant context: QR-code asset tagging, mobile-first work orders, scheduled PM with reminders, warranty expiry tracking, vendor management, and cost-over-time reporting per asset.
